I can't even sit through an entire Coldplay song.

In all fairness, people will sit through anything if it's free. Plus, New York has a bit of a homeless problem. Maybe it was just a bunch of people who wanted to get inside for awhile and the celebs saw all the homeless and wanted to appear as if they care, so they showed up to get the photos taken.

I'm with keeblerkahn. Not so much free but one particular establishment has 1.50 margarita Tuesday and it's always packed. 1.50 for margaritas is pretty close to free. People love free shit. I'd kill any one of you if I could get on Oprah's favorite things, show. Oh yes I would.

Really? I had no idea people hated coldplay! I love them! I went to their concert after XY came out and it was one of the best I've been to. To each his own i guess…

Helena was one of my favorite models of the early 90's. She made me want to run on a beach with Chris Issack in his underwear. Fine, I wanted to do it anyways but it would have been better if I looked like she did.

Cord you are such an asshat. Your snobby comments make you no better than the people you constantly belittle. music snobs suck.

Apparently they're also giving column space and blog accounts to pretentious d-bags who try to hard to be cool. and people still read and comment - but probably only because mollygood is free.

Somebody really loves teh Coldplay. Or they just never received a Commie. But I think their dream will finally come true next week. I'm going to go take a pill and get a job or something.

Someone once called me a music snobs (but, they didn't call me an asshat.) I found it very endearing. (Wipes a tear away) I guess because they are apparently a music snob too.
"Memories like the corners of my mind…"
Gawd, I hate that song.

@juju: really? Do you think? I hope so!

@ bedbugs: You are an asshat. ;-)

At least I'm in good company.

BBB, you can have one of my pills. I thought about the whole job thing and I take it back. I like working for an hour and being done. But, I'm still going to take the pills. No fear sucky. I promise not to leave you and to continue my douche baginess. But actually it's d-hag, thank you very much. That is all.

I'll go pour myself a drink to wash it down with. It's ALMOST afternoon.

Oh. I just realised I used the word party as a verb today. But, it was in reference to people who drink grain alcohol and behave like frat boys, so I don't think that really counts.

It's around 1 am in Sydney so that's prime drinking time.

u r teh suck- This blog would be a yawn if Cord didn't inject his posts with his opinions. And I'm pretty sure you just called Cord a "pretentious d-bag."* Why are you allowed to share your opinions when nobody else is?

*Cord is not pretentious. I sent him a tedious e-mail (where I totally fucking overshared) and he sent me a kind and humble reply. Most people would not even read it.

1.50 margaritas! Hell I'll go see Jessica Simpson sing country if I can get my medicine that cheap.

You couldn't give me enough $1.50 margaritas to get me into a Coldplay concert. Using Gwenneth's fave word to describe the little people, that insipid whiny music really is so pedestrian, I'm not surprised she won't be seen in public with her own husband.

Iln, I think he/she meant those of us who post here are d-bags.

For 1.50 margaritas I'll watch Brooke Hogan in concert. I'll just need an escort to carry me to the car with the amount of ritas I'd need to sit through that.

I hear asshats are the new black.

True story. Look it up mother fuckers!

Looch, you music snob. Their music does make me want to take ambien. But I confess to liking their new song. But I also have Olivia Newton John and Rick Springfield on my mp3 so I can't be trusted.

I'm kinda with JuJU, I have ABBA on my iPod, so in many peoples eyes I'm not the best judge of music.

I'm a sucker 1980's music, I grew up with it. I don't care what you say, Physical and Jessie's girl rock in an 80's sort of way.

I still wish I could be a dancing queen. But alas, I'm way past 17 so no longer fit the bill.

I wasn't a fan of Coldplay until I saw them in concert. They were freaking amazing and Chris Martin is surprisingly charismatic IRL.

Hahahaha! My live-in boyfriend listens to Coldplay ALL THE TIME - he said he listens to them because he thought I'd like them since CP is like '[my] weirdstuff'. I didn't know that Animal Collective and Coldplay sounded alike, hmmm…

Jujubees, you happenen to be talking to a person who has attended four (4!) Hall & Oates shows in the last 18 months. The difference is that our favorite "guilty pleasure" performers don't act like they invented music. Chris' little temper tantrum n his last interview was laughable.

Chris and his wife Fishsticks Paltrow are the most annoying couple ever and they know it, which is why they are never photographed together.

"you know how i know you're gay?

you listen to coldplay."

asshats are the new black.

i'm putting that on a shirt. and then i'm going to rip that shirt off and PARTY!!!!!!!

I'm putting "Fishsticks Paltrow" on that same shirt.

I actually went to a Coldplay concert like 4 years ago at Universal Studios with my friend Chronic. (Don't ask.) Needless to say Chronic was high and drunk. So we snuck into seats that were closer to the stage. About two minutes before old Chris Martin hit the stage, a bunch of security guards come through and lead Fishsticks to a seat right next to my high ass friend.

Next day, I email everyone, "yo, Chronic and I were sitting next to Gwyneth Paltrow at the Coldplay show." Chronic was like "no we weren't." And I was all "were too." And he was all "were not."

To this DAY, he doesn't believe that he was sitting right next to her. He even said "excuse me" to her because he almost fell on her at one point.

She was pretty pleasant about it, given that we were in illegal seats, and reeked of booze and weed.

That's why I love Chronic.

i also have a friend, Fat Jake, who smoked a joint with Gwyneth Paltrow in the back alley of some dive bar before she made Seven and turned british.

he says the whole high society sophisticated thing is an act.

And lest you question the story, Fat Jake doesn't lie. Fat Jake keeps a hibachi barbecue in his truck for barbecue emergencies. People who are prepared for barbecue emergencies don't lie.

It's so sad when Americans turn British.

given the bush administration, sometimes it's necessary.

i would just turn canadian. learning how to say "take off, eh" and "what's that all aboot" is a lot easier than learning how to say "i say, would you be a dear and get me a spot of tea? poppycock! tallyho! balderdash!"

i don't know, maybe ms. britishbedbugsandballyhoo can help me out here.

This morning my boy said "hey, here is a Coldplay video - want to watch it?" I said "hold on, let me get some forks to stick in my eyes." He had the good sense for it to be on mute, so I was covered there.

I think we should make up a new game - what would it take for you to see a Coldplay concert. Like a Klondike Bar, but infinately less enjoyable.

You are going too high brow STM. You should say things like, "oi" and "innit" and "well bad, mate." Or just go Scottish and then no-one will understand a word you are saying. Keeps you from having to be too acurate with the accent.

STM, just remember this one simple rule, "When in doubt, pinky out."

Lowbrow: don't forget bovvered. As in, "Do I look bovvered?" Two bob cunt always catches people unawares.

Redard-ay, rigard-ay mon visage. Esce-que je parecer bovvered? I. Ain't. Bovvered!

or perhaps,

Amest I bovver'ed?

Wait, you DO watch the Katherine Tate show, right? Otherwise I made less sense than you-je. (Short for usual, but does english have a soft j sound?)

Truth be told STM, I'd go British or Canadian in a heartbeat for the universal health care. And still may should the opportunity present itself. When I do, I we still keep my roughish American charm. If I should ever just the word balderdash in a sentence when not referring to the game, feel free to slap me.

I'm less than two hours drive from Canada, I may try to sneak in tonight and pass myself off as one of them. How hard could it be, I kinda like hockey and I've always wanted to go curling. Don't even get me started on Canadian bacon. Do they just call it bacon up there?

If I should ever *USE* the word balderdash in a sentence when not referring to the game, feel free to slap me.

What on earth are you insinuating?
I thought everybody watched that show.

i wonder the same thing about canadian bacon.

and chinese food.

canadian bacon is a crock. it's friggin' ham, people. HAM.

by the way, i might be the only black person in history to have ever gone to a coldplay concert.

no, i'm not proud of myself.

Oh and herb is pronounced herb, not erb.

In Canada, we use Timbits for anal play.
(http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/a/a3/Timbits.jpg)

In Canada, everyone has to fuck a Royal Canadian Mounted Police at least once to show them we appreciate their enforcement of federal laws. It's kind of like jury duty, but even more noble.

I'm with you on the Canada bacon thing STM, but Canada has so few things to be proud of in the first place. I say we let them keep their 'bacon'. It is so damn tasty after all.

In China, they just call it food. Weird huh?

Just like Repo man?

I ain't mad at Canada. They've got mounties, maple candy, and have duped the world into believing their bacon is special. That takes chutzpah.

Yes, if only Canada had Camel ads in teen magazines, abstinence programs, more capital punishment, and no health care for the poor.
Canadians have a better life expectancy, literacy rate, gross domestic product, etc. ect. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UN_Human_Development_Index)
I don't think Canadians are better than Americans, but I think in many ways Canada's system stomps America's. Like, here, we have a vertical mosaic. Any race can come live here and keep their culture. In most other countries, different cultures are forced to conform.

No. I actually thought I was the only person on earth who had seen Repo Man.

BBB, we need to hang out more. For real.

Coldplay always sounds so melancholy and annoying. They could sing the hokey-pokey and I'd still end up crying in a corner for no reason.

Balderdash mates. I do love the canadians for their delicious bacon and their fine comedians. Kids Down The Hall, are right up there with MST3000. But do they ever thank us for creating the robot?

Well, we do share the same oddball birthday. We should meet for drinks.

But juju, the Canadians have never came up with anything as mesmerizing as TURKEY VOLUME GUESSING MAN!

Or Dirty Dingus Magee.

ridiculous story time: yesterday i almost went out on a date with someone and then but said no because, among other things, he invited me to "come party" with him and he offered to burn me the new coldplay cd. according to him, "number three is the shit."

ah, boy.

Or… wait for it because it's so good… MANOS: THE HANDS OF FATE.

You're a smart girl Laura.

Poor Laura. It's time to "accidentally" delete his number.

EW. I am such a buzzkill.
"Canada is like a vertical mosaic"!!! We're also tacky as fuck, fellas!

i have seen manos, the hands of fate!

i love me some MST3K.

Also, the mighty boosh. has anyone seen the mighty boosh?

My husband and I were going to name the first born son Julian. But alas, we never had one.
