FEELING BLUE?
I was all set to write a post to make the Guinness Records for “blog post with the highest number of bad puns used”, but since the weather has gone from sweltering sweating-like-a-sumo-wrestler-in-a-sauna hot to cool and wet, it kind of spoiled my flow.
Stupid rain.
Anyway. Coldplay. These British veterans certainly don’t need any further introduction, but in honour of the fact that it’s just barely a month before their performance I thought I’d give them a bit of a boost, to get you all in the mood.
Something Old.
This isn’t the first time they’ve been to Japan, oh no. Back in ‘06 they did Intex in Osaka and a 2 day gig at Nippon Budokan in Tokyo. This trip may well be a bit nostalgic for them as well as many attendees. They’re back on the Green Stage, just like in 2005.
Something New.
The “Every Teardrop Is A Waterfall” digital EP will be released on iTunes tomorrow, but the band has already put up the tracks on Youtube for your listening pleasure.
Every Teardrop is a Waterfall:
Major Minus:
Moving to Mars:
Something Borrowed.
Coldplay do a Flaming Lips cover in Oklahoma, 2008:
Something Blue.
(See above – picture taken from their July 19th Nippon Budokan performance in 2006.)
They’ll be on the Green Stage, but since Green and Blue are often interchangeable in Japanese… well, you get it. (I told you, the rain stole my mojo.)
