I've reviewed my opinion of her since then. There should be a section in record shops (Do they still exist? I feel like John Major searching for that Brixton fishmonger's shop in the 1992 PPB - "Is it there? It is! It is!") for bands like Coldplay and Travis - "John Lee Hooker's under blues. John Coltrane's under jazz. Coldplay? Have you looked in meh?". How did they get so huge? Is it because they're not minded by more people than any other band? Is anyone actually passionate about them. And if you're going to play air piano (sweet Jesus, that phrase brings me out in hives), do it to Chas and Dave, Jerry Lee Lewis or Glenn Gould. Miming Chris Martin's piano style just looks like you're operating a pneumatic drill.Louis Barfehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09500085182214151483noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21859438.post-89997264703076114762008-06-13T14:59:00.000+01:002008-06-13T14:59:00.000+01:00Would he have done this pre "Yellow"?I've never ra...Would he have done this pre "Yellow"?<BR/><BR/>I've never rated Coldplay, (and he annoys me in a way that only Annie Lennox usually does) but I do have some belting booteg remixes of them using Kraftwerk and Jacques Lu Cont as the backdrop.Mondohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11199468951602465556noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21859438.post-68777523336590847542008-06-13T13:14:00.000+01:002008-06-13T13:14:00.000+01:00I can't stand the way Mark Ronson's brassed-up cov...I can't stand the way Mark Ronson's brassed-up cover of Coldplay's God Put a Smile On My Face is used as background music on just about every TV show from Songs of Praise to Working Lunch.<BR/><BR/>I'm not a Coldplay apologist, but I do actually quite like their new single. They're one of those infuriating bands who I normally hate but manage to release one track I quite like off every album they put out.<BR/><BR/>I prefer Half Man Half Biscuit's Cammell Laird Social Club to the Buena Vista variety.

But yes, Chris Martin is a hedge fund manager with a microphone, and seems acutely aware of the fact. (And Thom Yorke is a hedge fund manager with an art A-level.)

Why doesn't he just say 'I don't talk about my personal life, as you know' as a response to questions, as opposed to leaping out of the window?<BR/><BR/>At MY dinner parties, I play Phil Kelsall at the Blackpool Tower Organ and ELO.Clairhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01914896847679973163noreply@blogger.com
