According to last.fm, here are my top artists since I've been keeping track of what I listen to.  It seems about right.  I love all these singers/bands.

This house hunting thing has taken over my life so I've been slack about stopping by the 'hood.  Here are some pictures from a Coldplay concert we went to two weeks ago.  All I can say is to buy tickets if they are coming anywhere near you because the show was amazing!  Their new album really lends itself to a live performance, and they played pretty much the whole thing.

One funny thing was the Navy flyovers during the performance.  They weren't really noticeable during most songs, but during Fix You, Chris Martin just started giggling because the jets drowned him out. He recovered and worked it into the song with a lyric about the Air Force flying in or some such thing.  This proved my point to Dan about why we are not looking at houses in jet noise zones at the beach.  If they can drown out a concert, you don't want them over your house. 

We had really good seats, which you can't tell from these blurry pictures from my point and shoot camera.  I've seen them before, but from the lawn.  This time we decided to splurge on seats under the cover, and it was really worth it since we are such big fans of the band.  I've been to a lot of concerts so I don't really get that excited about them anymore, but when the band came out on the stage, I was so excited I couldn't contain it!  So much fun!  They came out into the audience twice, which was really cool.  I hope they come out with a DVD from this tour. 

Pete Yorn was the opening act, and he was really, really good too.

 

 

One of my friends posted a Facebook status that they had bought Coldplay tickets last week.  I immediately went to their website and saw that they are actually coming to Virginia Beach!  w00t!  I then went to Live Nation and saw that there was a presale going on (they didn't go on sale to the public until this morning).  I did some internet sleuthing and found the code for the presale.  So Dan and I have awesome tickets (first row of second section back in an ampitheater setting under the cover).  This is one of the few bands we would pay for the expensive seats since they were the first dance at our wedding.  I'm so excited!

PS - Can someone point me to the post that explains how to get album art to work from a Mac on Vox?  I can't seem to find it, just one about Windows.

I'm in Coldplay heaven! 

I love Coldplay - our first dance at the wedding was to a Coldplay song, and I can't wait for the new album.  I've pre-ordered it on iTunes already.  This video is awesome:

I think this might be the only non-Twitter, Clipmark, or book review post I've done in a while.  Sorry...

Oh yeah, here's our first dance song:

I'm listening to Coldplay's X&Y while I work on my research proposal, and I was reminded how much I love the song, "Swallowed In The Sea."  I like the simplicity of the lyrics.  If it wasn't about someone dying, I'd make it the first dance at my wedding.  I'm considering doing that anyway...
