The Nappies

With the world more interested in the name of the Chris and Gwyneth\rquote s baby girl, I\rquote m going to talk a little about what Coldplay have been up lately. Honestly I couldn\rquote t care less about their personal lives. So if you\rquote re expecting a rant about them, go read Woman\rquote s Day or Who magazine.
I am however a big fan of the music of Coldplay. I\rquote ve got both their albums, the live DVD, a collection of most (if not all) of their rarer, unreleased tracks and also had the opportunity to catch the band live last year at Rod Laver Arena. But lately I\rquote ve put away their music for the fear of getting sick of them. It nearly got to the point of too much of a good thing, so I took out the CDs and stored them back into the CD rack.
The band recently stated that they won\rquote t be touring during 2004 at all for that very reason. They believe people are getting tired of them and surely enough I agree. Their tracks got flogged to death on just about every radio station, particularly Clocks. Their appeal is so widespread that you would hear a track on Fox FM and PBS at the same time.
Fellow fans will be excited to hear that the band will come out from hiding in early 2005 with a new album under their belt. With a mammoth 42 songs in contention, it\rquote s bound to be interesting album with only the standout tracks making the final listing. Chris Martin has been collaborating with a few artists in the meantime including Ash, Ron Sexsmith, Echo and the Bunnymen and Jamelia. Timbaland has even expressed interest in working with the band.
Despite having an incredibly busy schedule, the band have decided to release a special video today over at their official site. It\rquote s the world debut of their new band THE NAPPIES! Forget The Darkness, The Nappies are the REAL glam rockers of the world. Don\rquote t believe me? Check out their debut track and film clip for the new band right here. But be quick because it\rquote s only available for one week!

1.Timbaland will work with anyone!
2. Not that I normally care about celebrity children, but I’m quite annoyed they named their kid “Apple”. For me it’s not about pretentious names so much as the horrible potential for punning headlines. Apparently “Apple of Gwyneth’s Eye” has already turned up in almost every newspaper. If the kid goes anywhere near showbiz/music career, we’re going to have: “Apple doesn’t fall far from tree” headlines.
Punning should be banned.
And that’s the last thing we need. More crap headlines. Personally, I’d disown my parents if they named me after a piece of fruit.
And with a name like “Apple” you can guarantee the only industry they’re going to end up in is the entertainment one.
I have yet to meet an acountant or lawyer by the name of “Bananna” or “Plums”.
I read that Chris played a CD from his favorite band during the birth to help calm Gwennie. It was Sigur Ros. The man has taste: they are incredible!
Sigur Ros ARE uncredible!!! I was actually planning to write the next musical spotlight on them but just haven’t got around to it yet. Will probably post it soon ;)
Err…. that should be ‘incredible’ not ‘uncrediable’. RSI is settling in.
It was only after Coldplay toured Australia that I actually listened to their music and gew to love them so now I’m kicking myself and hoping that they’ll be back sometime soonish.
