I like Viva la Vida too. I'm also slightly obsessed with When I Grow Up by the Pussycat Dolls. I'm so sorry.

I still like Coldplay a lot, so I'm not ashamed of loving this song and listening to it all the time.

Remy Shand does some producing now. Also he used to hit on my friend's mom at the bar. Hes married now though, to one of the winners of the Canadian version of popstars.

Thanks for the info Kiran. Looking into it on the 'net, people were posting stuff that made it seem like he'd been taken out by the mob or something.

Topic: I'm singing "Rock Me On The Water" to myself, does that count?

Nah. Its just the trajectory of the Canadian Pop Star. Although I still remember that year he scored all those Grammy nods (more than even Justin Timberlake) and we Winnipeggers thought he might become what Robin Thicke has become. Actually Famous.

Playing Massive Attack's Mezzanine. Such a cool, inky, dark, and sexy album. I'm playing it at a bass-rattling volume because I'm at passive-aggressive war with my downstairs neighbor; this'll learn him not to play Jethro Tull and George Michael at 3am.

Your neighbor has good taste. Too bad he can't restrict it non-vampiric hours.

Sitting in my cubicle listening to Esthero - I Drive Alone makes me wish I can unhook my headphones and blast it so everyone in the office can listen.

Belle & Sebastian's Sleep Around the Clock. It's a beautiful song, just perfect for sitting around on grey day, not much of anything.

Is "Viva La Vida" a newer song by Coldplay, or are you all talking about "Violet Hill"?

It's the first single off Coldplay's new album.

Viva La Vida = the song in the iTunes commercial ("I sweep the streets I used to own")

Violet Hill = the first single.

I cannot get April March's Chick Habit out of my head. Which is kinda ok, because I love that song.

I've got the new Coldplay album and the following songs are on repeat: "Strawberry Swing" (my fave); "42"; and "Yes". Love the whole album.

Oh, "Strawberry Swing" is good. I have an acoustic version of "Lovers in Japan" that's really good--I don't know if it's on the CD or not.

I have been listening to Duffy's "Delayed Devotion" for two days. More or less on a loop. I love it.
