So, it made me very happy to have a conversation with Megan one day regarding a quote Chris Martin made about naming his daughter Apple (can't remember or find the quote but it doesn't matter so much) and then she posted this video which really is just ridiculous. Not to mention the band was on Colbert a bit ago and he was just as spacey and odd and danced just as bad.
Then there was this incredible exchange in the comments of that post between me and Megan's brother:

Actually, I do. Much better. Thank you.
I honestly did try to think of ways to hide or destroy that CD. I even switched it out once with a different CD (oh those precious minutes of relief) to see if it's over playing was from the laziness of everyone not wanting to switch the CD, but I was thwarted. We got one round of the new CD before someone put Coldplay back on it's eternal rotation. I bet you anything that Coldplay CD is still playing in that studio. I really would not be surprised.
So, to add to my reasons why I'm not such a fan of Coldplay here's this little tidbit from MSNBC online:
Building on his band’s anti-rock persona, Chris Martin recently revealed that the members of Coldplay like to spend some quality time together around the sewing machine. “Making clothes together in our studio makes us feel complete,” Chris admitted to the Daily Mirror. “We probably sound like a group of grannies in a knitting circle, but it’s the truth and it gives us some control over our visual identity.”
Really Chris? You make your clothes together? It gives you control over your "visual identity"? Ugh. As if you lose all control when you put on a Hanes T-shirt and some jeans?
In the end, I believe Megan summed it all up in our earlier conversation. What do you expect from a guy who named his daughter "Apple"?
i just watched this again. it's like a train wreck...can't. turn. away. must. watch.
i'm glad i'm not alone in my dislike for coldplay. they used to play a coldplay cd in the printing studio on campus...that was it. the only cd played for an entire semester. i thought of accidentally dropping the cd in ink and/or acid but figured that would probably make me seem a little crazy.
Lin, The tameness of your Coldplay CD destruction fantasies is what makes you seem a little crazy. Think about a trap thrower. Think about a shotgun. Think about a shiny disc sailing out into the sunlit air and then seeing it explode through your one open eye and raining down a million glittering shards. The slight bruise on your shoulder will soon fade and in the meantime will remind you of your intense satisfaction over your good works.
Close your eyes and picture it. Feel better now?
