Out of touch

Now I know I've been a bit busy and out of the loop over the last few months, but how exactly did I miss this video for Coldplay's The Hardest Part?

For fuck sake people, I read your blogs so that I don't miss out on such wonders. I feel distinctly let down by you all.

Anyway...

Apparently in a similar manner to Weezer's Buddy Holly video, Coldpay were superimposed as the house band onto some old TV footage; in this case the frankly terrifying daytime show Attitudes Across America.

It's hard to know what's more disturbing, the massive shoulder pads sported by the presenters, the huge brightly-coloured, plastic-framed glasses of the audience, Chris Martin's knowing hat-tip to the Miami location with the white jacket with sleeves rolled up or the... well I won't put words in your mouths, watch the video (if you haven't already) and I think it'll be pretty obvious what the fourth option is.

Way to go Barbara, way to go.



PS If I find out that any of you bastards knew about this and were holding out on me...

Well at least it proves, definitively, once and for all, and inspite of many signs to the contrary, that Coldplay *do* have a sense of humour...
