Coldplay Put On A Puppet Show For "Technicolor" Video
All sorts of news out from Coldplay HQ today, starting with a preview of the "Life In Technicolor II" video, which premieres on 4Music in the UK Tuesday night. Like Kanye and Genesis before them, the band became puppets for the clip. The just-released stills show them performing for lil' Coldplay fans. I hope they release the puppets as toys so I can make Chris Martin fight with my Joe Satriani doll and make sweet love to my Jay-Z doll. As you might have guessed, the Prospekt's March tune is the official next single, to be released on 7" and digitally 2/2 with a new song, "The Goldrush," on the b-side.
On 2/8, the band will perform at the Grammys, where they are nominated for every award. Here's one of the new Grammy promotional illustrations, which is made up of titles of songs that inspired the band. Click to enlarge.
There's a Thom Yorke inspiration poster too!
The Lil Wayne one is just various strains of weed.

Kanye and Genesis? This is straight out of Beck's Information tour...
Score = 1
I was going to say that it's a little reminiscent of Mansun's Legacy video, which I'm sure the Coldplay guys have seen since it came out in 1997 and was a sizeable indie hit in the UK. At that point, I don't believe Coldplay was the biggest band in the known universe. In fact, they were probably just students at some art school or something.
Score = -1
