Anticipation

I have to say that I am quite excited about Coldplay's new album coming in June. In my personal opinion, Coldplay is one of those bands that will be completely timeless. This band puts together some of the most beautiful sounds and creates something meaningful and amazing to me. You hear a band like Coldplay and wonder "How in the hell can you call something like Korn, music?" I've never understood music that takes no effort like rap and hard-core metal. Mark says it's "Kill your mom-kill your dad" brainwashing music. I agree with that statement. I mean seriously, how hard can it be just to scream nothing into a microphone and blow out long-haired, devil finger throwing, head banging brains? How hard can it be to just stand in a studio and talk through some music (i.e. Yo, yo, yo, check it, My name is sam and I eat green eggs and ham.) Do you see my point here. I just don't get it. Granted some of the "rap" songs and "hard-core metal" songs may actually have meaning somewhere but I just refuse to try and see it.

Coldplay puts on one hell of a show as well. When you hear their songs, you hear their songs. You don't hear terrible voices and music that have been digitally altered. You here pure AWESOMENESS!! Mark and I went to a concert a few years ago and it left us in awe wanting to scream "ENCORE" all night long. I didn't want it to end. If they come on HD-Music Live, we watch it. If a song comes on the radio, I turn it up as loud as I can without my ears falling off. There is some music out there that just hurts to hear making you want to jab your eye out with a spoon. There are a few cds that I have that cause my finger to go into "GET AWAY FROM THIS SONG" spasms. Coldplay is certainly not one of them. The way they create songs somehow puts you into a certain mood; mellow, content, hopeful. I'm jumping out of my pants from the anticipation.

Don't try to mentally picture me jumping out of my pants. Not cool.
