x and y

for the past few days, i've been drowning myself in coldplay's music, specifically their just-released third album called 'x and y.'

right now (1:15 am, wednesday), i am watching their mtv concert (taped in new york) promoting this new album. from the album, i've already picked my favorites: low, speed of sound, square one, swallowed in the sea...heck, why not the entire album!

prior to this concert, they showed 'ask coldplay,' where other artists asked coldplay questions. anyway, i caught a part where chris martin said something like 'this album is an exercise in plagiarism.' listen to some of the songs and you'll see what he means.
