Talk about a rush of blood to the head!
I recently wanted to get back in touch with 1988 and so, I went to see the new Indiana Jones movie…and…it was…how do I say…’definitely PG-13′.
To me, Harrison Ford has come a long way since he was in the Temple of Doom playing with snakes. I mean, Tone Loc was still drinkin’ his Funky Cold Medina last time I contemplated seeing Indy on the big screen! So…
All that said because we had to sit in the second row with or heads cranked up in order to catch Mr. Ford crackin’ his whip and making snarky remarks. All in all, a good experience, to be sure.
What does this have to do with music? Not a heck of a lot, unless you consider the ads/previews (which I could rant on and on about…30 minutes!). That 30 minutes or so of discomfort brought me in touch with the subject for timinganddelivery soundcheck #7.
Coldplay (Viva La Vida) - Complete with a catchy hook and rhythm, Coldplay’s new album preview hit the big screen during this interval of inconvenience. Aside from completely disliking the title of the album (reminds me of a horrible Ricky Martin flashback), my first taste of Coldplay’s latest album (’Violet Hill‘) was not half bad. In true timinganddelivery form, though, I thought I’d do some further research. After sampling a few of their other tracks, I’m going to make a call and suggest that ‘Lost’ will definitely be a crowd jumper and ‘Life in Technicolor’ is the new ‘Fix You’ (especially for those long live show intro extravaganzas). Check this flashy little spot that Coldplay did for Apple for their title track.
I am looking forward to July 27, 2008 (where Coldplay will be headlining at the Pemberton Music Festival)…we’ll see if my hypothesis holds true. Put your chemistry set away, Coldplay’s about to blow the doors off once again.
Can they possibly ‘get’ any more rich? I guess we’re about to find out…
