> i was wondering if anyone likes coldplay?
mmmm. I don't think they're the sort of band which will ever change anyone's life, nor restore their faith in the redemptive power of music. But they're an excellent band - I've seen them live twice, once at a small vanbue and once at a big venue, and they were really excellent. The last gig I saw, they played about 10 new songs, which sounded really good. A but noiser and less introspective.
Everyone slags off Starsailor, but as I type this I'm listening to a live version of "Tie Up My Hands", and James is screaming his heart out, and I'm thinking "this guy *means* it". Again, they'll never change my life, but there's something good there.
