1. i hate the fact that my own complacence (and that of others) has allowed them to exist and grow.
2. yes - but not as much as i used to cos i don't trust "them" or have much interest in the people "they" interview. ironic innit? Jockey Slut's ok, and PlayLouder's a giggle. Oh, and http://www.threedworld.com.au of course (oops).
3. yes, but only selectively, ie. no daytime stuff really - http://www.2ser.com is amazing tho...

yes. no. sometimes.

Triple yes. Although hate is a strong word, I do not like Coldplay at all. (It's like hating Radiohead on a saner level.) I read less magazines. These days it's mainly Wire, Uncut, Mojo and Q. As of late I seem to be listening to the radio again. I noticed I can't stand silence: I always need background noise.

Pete still likes Yellow I think.

I like Yellow and I don't read magazines or listen to music on the radio. What I heard of their last album sounded terrible, though.

Coldplay are nice enough but I agree with this guy... "A Rush of Blood to the Head suggests something impulsive reckless and wild. Nothing could be further from the truth. The albulm is cautious, considered, thoughtful and ultimately a bit dull" (Listener 5/11)

fourteen years pass...

Never thought I'd rep for a song of theirs, but Miracles seems to be genuinely affecting or almost thereabouts

At least until the rapping part. Or more accurately the first minute.

'A L I E N S' easily the highlight of the new EP for me.

three years pass...

i liked their first 3 releases then they lost me as they got too commercial!

I’m a big fan of their earliest stuff, hell even the “Ode to Deodorant”/“Brothers and Sisters” demo tape is a million miles better than anything on that “landfill indie” thread I slogged through a couple months ago. I absolutely adore the sparse-quiet-production-plus-loud-jangly-arpeggiated-guitar sound of Parachutes. Anyway, once they started trying to sound like an arena rock band on their second album I kinda got off the bus. I do love Chris Martin and his piano, though. More pop songs should have pianos in them.
