Bright colors! Stop-Motion! Chris Martin acting endearingly goofy! It’s an average video from the Coldplay boys, but interesting nonetheless. I’m still only so-so on this song, but the last minute or so is really good. Still no new info on the new album, but here’s the video: continue reading...
Apparently the sessions with producer RedOne did not go as smoothly as planned and the band is “gutted” by the unexpected delay. Here are a few quotes from Adam Clayton as told to Rolling Stone: continue reading...
