Coldplay’s new single, “Violet Hill,” can be downloaded from Coldplay’s website. But the link to find where to download can be difficult to find, and this link will take you directly to download the page. The song should be available until next Monday. I don’t know what the song sounds like; it’s still downloading. ButContinue reading “On Coldplay’s “Violet Hill””

On Coldplay Fonts
A reader came to the website recently, looking for information — according to the search string Google passed — on “Coldplay Fonts.” Coldplay uses Albertus MT for their logo typeface. COLDPLAY. See? (Assuming, of course, that you have Albertus MT installed on your machine. As I do.) No, I don’t have a font problem. IContinue reading “On Coldplay Fonts”

I’ve been a fan of Coldplay for five years at least, and this was the first time I’d had the opportunity to see them live. Let’s get a few observations out of the way first. The crowd wasContinue reading “More on the Coldplay Concert”
On the Concert
Coldplay played Raleigh tonight. I was there. 🙂 Great concert. There were a few flubs along the way–“The Scientist” needed to be restarted–but Coldplay put on a magnificent show. The opening act, Rilo Kiley, didn’t impress at all. I’m tired. Will write more tomorrow.
On a Bulletin Board
I’m in Durham at their new mall, Streets at Southpoint. I’d driven out there to pick up a few games–Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas had come out that morning for the PC, and my store had sold out. The Southpoint store, though, had extras to spare. So, with new Coldplay in the car stereo, IContinue reading “On a Bulletin Board”
On Summer Fun
I have tickets to see Coldplay in September when they come to Raleigh. I have tickets to see the Carolina Mudcats baseball team on my birthday later this month. Shiny!
On Coldplay Music
Best use of Coldplay’s music–“Clocks” in the Peter Pan trailer. Worst use of Coldplay’s music–“The Scientist” in the closing credits of FOX’s broadcast of game six of the 2003 World Series. And no, I haven’t seen Peter Pan yet, but I plan to.
