monitorTHIS! - December 2008/January 2009 - (Page 38) music Summer new tunes in stores this month World Music Chris Martin and friends came back to fix you again Y o u k n o w h o w I know you’re gay?” Paul Rudd famously asked Seth Rogen in The 40-Year-Old Virgin. Coldplay “You listen to Coldplay.” Well, we’re happy to report Viva La Vida or Death that folks are still coming out of the closet in record and All His Friends numbers. Three years after Virgin, Coldplay bestowed C a p i t o l / pa r l o p h o n e Viva La Vida on America, and almost two million “gays” thus far have seen the light, not to mention countless more worldwide. How can you explain the endurance? For starters, front-god Chris Martin, guitarist Jonny Buckland, bassist Guy Berryman and drummer Will Champion have stopped trying to adult-alternify U2 and Radiohead and become comfortable with their own identity. Hence, the inspiring “Violet Hill” and fragile title track, which buffers Martin’s delicate piano work against a complimentary arpeggio and anthemic solo. The band is finally taking risks, and most are paying off. Gay means “happy,” too, you know. Coldplay’s fans are certainly that. [ 38 + monitorthis! + december 2008 dec 08 / jan 09 ]
