Why I love my job (part 237)
Coldplay at Abbey Road last night was brilliant. As you'd expect from a band that seems to be constantly touring, the performance was amazing, and despite the intimate venue (or maybe because of it, I'm not good on the science of acoustics) the songs sounded just as huge as they do on the albums. They were obviously enjoying themselves too, with loads of random between-song banter from Chris (including a namecheck for Hale and Pace). They even played my favourite and second favourite songs (Clocks and Talk, since you ask) one after the other, thus creating one of the most perfect ten minute periods of my life.....
So in summary, not a bad way to spend a Monday night. I would be even smugger if it weren't for the complete lack of Valentine cards in my letterbox this morning.

Hmmm... quite jealous about that then. How did it compare to the Radiohead intimacy?!

Was nowhere near as intimate as the Radiohead thing, there were a few hundred people in the crowd this time. And no beanbags - the indignity!

How splendid!
I can't decide if Talk is wonderful or rubbish. And the video isn't helping.

Is that the one with him singing backwards so when they play the tape back he's singing forwards but walking backwards?
Still, i like that track. They still haven't topped Shiver tho (IMHO)
