Coldplay......

Well I got up early yesterday so that I could get to work and leave at 4pm. While getting ready they came over the radio and announced the Birmingham and Tampa Coldplay shows were being cancelled. Chris Martin (lead singer) had been diagnosed with a respiratory virus. Ticketmaster and the Coldplay website have advised ticketholders to keep hold of their tickets. The Coldplay website says that they are looking at coming back through Birmingham to make up for the cancellation. I was bummed but I understand it cause of illness being involved. I'll keep you posted on if they do decide to have another concert here....

Sigur Ros has just come out with a new album titled Takk. This is an amazing band out of Iceland. Matt and I saw them years ago at the Tabernacle in Atlanta. So if you are familiar with Sigur Ros' sound (singer is known for using a language he created called Hopelandic-mix of Icelandic and vocal sounds- and for playing the guitar with a cello bow) you can imagine how amazing the concert was with the Tabernacle's acoustics. Here is a link for the first video off of the album. They always have such amazing videos... I got chill bumps at the end where the song just rocks out.
