I've got tickets for the first night at Bolton. I believe Elbow and Morning Runner are supporting. Second night, it's Morning Runner and Doves. From what I remember a few years ago, it was one of those shows where the one and only disappointment was when the show ended. Defiantly worth getting tickets if you can.

Maybe depressing is the wrong word, but I don't like Chris Martin's slow drawning voice and the very down tempo music that they seem to have in they're songs. It's hardly gripping. Like I said, the only song that really stood out for me was Clocks.

Well I listened to the new single and am quite disappointed.

Everyone will compare the new album to the previous one, which was just brilliant. I don't think they will ever be able to top that one, just like REM never topped the brilliance of "Automatic for the People".
