And being the music nerd you are you had an early, early copy of the song Yellow, and we thought it was amazing, but we also figured they were a band that may do well in england, but would never find success here in the states, like every other so-called britpop band from back in the day. And we liked for bands not to get to big, because it made them special to us, but then Coldplay has to go and become mainstream pop superstars. I felt let down. It was the kind of music the baseball caps made fun of ten minutes ago, and now the suddenly loved it. So the seed of hatred grows. I want to hate coldplay too. I want to hate u2. But I don't, because they are fucking awesome.Chris Hillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03001573607070437474noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6039385200676829521.post-43011443631839988982008-06-08T13:37:00.000-07:002008-06-08T13:37:00.000-07:00you should go see this:http://losangeles.ucbtheatr...you should go see this:<BR/><BR/>http://losangeles.ucbtheatre.com/shows/1474Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6039385200676829521.post-74459387533689749492008-06-08T03:26:00.000-07:002008-06-08T03:26:00.000-07:00So here's my (deep, deep, very deep) philosophy ab...So here's my (deep, deep, very deep) philosophy about music, or indeed any art: if it makes you smile, it's good.<BR/><BR/>Actually, I guess that's my philosophy about everything.Cybelehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16010169619832803037noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6039385200676829521.post-87811959732656330052008-06-06T18:49:00.000-07:002008-06-06T18:49:00.000-07:00I won't join your little Coldplay camp but I will ...I won't join your little Coldplay camp but I will say that Chris Martin is supposedly a decent dude.Mike Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15297315054026540260noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6039385200676829521.post-27675242198611001452008-06-06T18:31:00.000-07:002008-06-06T18:31:00.000-07:00HA HA HA!

We have a mighty stockpile of Coldplay, the Bravery, Collective Soul, Foo Fighters, Snow Patrol... and MANY MORE!<BR/><BR/>Besides, I bet it wouldn't be too hard to find some music-mag column from 1965, saying something similar about the Beach Boys. Something all conflicted like "I know Frankie Valli did all that can be done with falsetto, and there are really only so many layers of sound you need to make a damn pop record, and how many songs do we really need about cars, or girls' names? So I should HATE these guys... but I don't." <BR/><BR/>Embrace it. Coldplay makes pop. Radiohead makes pop. The similarity pretty much ends there, sure, but consider that Wyoming has two US senators, just like California does.Febrifugehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11390183224653926238noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6039385200676829521.post-5743620083619943222008-06-06T17:24:00.000-07:002008-06-06T17:24:00.000-07:00The craven coward is an ex something else I might ...The craven coward is an ex something else I might add. *sigh* You can only try so much to put a band aide on a gaping wound before the poor thing just bleeds to death.<BR/><BR/>Babe-you forgot about the best part of the evening.

Or seeking them out for download. Or something like that. Errrr.<BR/><BR/>I've never seen or read an interview with Chris Martin, or any of the other nameless fellows in the band, so it's news to me that they have a reputation of being pompous. From what I've seen of some other stuff Chris Martin has been involved in (his cameo in Extras springs to mind immediately) he seems like a nice fellow who likes to have a laugh. I never really got that sort air from him. That's too bad if that's actually the case.plastic passionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08211441946503644554noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6039385200676829521.post-55074885875353820712008-06-06T11:54:00.000-07:002008-06-06T11:54:00.000-07:00Caesy Wilson is one of my favorite people she's on...Caesy Wilson is one of my favorite people she's one of the nicest sweetest girls ever. I was a big fan of all the work she did with Paul Rust and Charlyne at the UCBT. <BR/><BR/>And, umm, it's weird that you mentioned Coldplay, because I've been playing my entire coldplay catalog at work today. I'm not ashamed. They've been one of my favorite bands since I was 15. Parachutes is one of my fav albums. <BR/><BR/>I know.

And then I wonder why I have no problem rationalizing the stuff I like that is total utter crap with a pop hook. Seriously, I will sing along with Kelly Clarkson without remorse, but I cringe about liking Coldplay? <BR/><BR/>The craven coward thing when it happens, really sucks. I'm glad you had Showgirls to comfort you.laphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05129728708993920747noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6039385200676829521.post-58782844129185272152008-06-06T10:38:00.000-07:002008-06-06T10:38:00.000-07:00Ha!

When I hear "Clocks" I just reactively squeal, "I LOVE this song!" and then die from embarrassment. And Casey Wilson was a classmate of mine from UCB in NYC!
