They Have Never Been More Like U2
November 9th, 2005 . by JorgeIt’s seems that each time someone asks me why I loathe Coldplay it gets easier and easier to answer. You might already know this but just in case you don’t and even if you do let me rub it in, Coldplay has announced another North American tour. Wait for it…wait for it…of course it isn’t the tour that’s revolting (or at least the more revolting part) it’s the manner they’ve announced the tour dates.
According to Pitchfork the dates will be kept secret until their fans flock in mass quantities to a website the band launched. Whenever the site, TalkTheTour.com, gets 33,000 hits a new date will be revealed. Just in case your wondering this hasn’t been set up to benefit any cause except for the expansion of their heads, we can only hope they soon explode. There will be 26 six dates in all, multiply that by 33,000 hits and what you get is four very sad needy boys. I can just see Gwyneth now, ” Damnit Martin for 50th time yes, yes I love your music and you are the sexiest man I’ve ever been with.”
I don’t know whether to call them pretentious or just pathetic. Is there some hybrid word I could use? Maybe something like douche bag. Funnier still is the fact that not all of the dates have remained secret both Ticketmaster and The Chicago Tribune have announced shows that haven’t been listed on TalkTheTour. Such idiots, the whole lot of them… And the award for biggest blow hard in a pop category goes to…sorry Bono but you have been overthrown.
