Having a little bit of fun with a newer version of Photoshop (yay!), and listening to my new Coldplay CD (I promise, I’m not completely obsessed with Coldplay!), I came up with this little manipulation. It’s not much, not very polished, but I like the look of it.
The lyrics, by the way, are from Cemetaries of London, a pretty darn catchy song.
I’ve noticed this as a recent trend that really seems to go along with the whole web 2.0 social thing, and that’s the “link roundup” or “best of” posts. I think it’s a really neat idea; most of the time, the people that run the blogs you read are interested in a lot of the same stuff. I find myself reading these posts and middle clicking* almost every link. So I’ve decided to start doing that myself at the end of every month. (more…)
Okay, Viva la Vida is one of my favotite Coldplay songs of all time. I had it before the album was out. By play count alone, it’s number five in my iTunes library. The iTunes commercial they did for it was amazing. I must have watched it a million times when it first came out.
But the actual music video they released for the song ruined it. Ruined the whole song. What the heck were they thinking? The whole thing is so awkward to watch. I’m almost embarrassed FOR them. If they would have made the entire thing look more like the iTunes commercial (since it’s obvious that it was most likely filmed at the same time; they’re wearing the same stuff), it would have been a huge success.
