Clocks
I realise that I’ve never really expressed my love for Coldplay ever to you guys. Not only are they my favorite band, but almost any song of theirs just calms and soothes my nerves no matter how bad a mood I am in! And now they’ve gone on to do something that just makes me love them all the more.
As the debate over free downloadable music rages on still, with many a compromise or solution having been proposed over the past few years, Coldplay have taken a bold step. They’ve released their latest ‘album’ Left Right Left Right Left for free and it’s up for grabs on their site. And though its really not got any new songs on it, being a concert album of their current tour, it is still an admirable step that they’ve taken.
And don’t get me wrong. I am as much for all artists getting their right dues as much as I am for us as fans not having to pay ridiculous amounts for their music. But I love the fact that when they could have made so much more money by releasing this as a commercial album, they instead chose to thank their fans by releasing this for free!
so go ahead and download their album now.

*cringes* Not really a BIG coldplay fan. I like some of their songs sure, and I do think that they’re really gifted artists but I can’t get a handle on all their music.
I do think that it’s pretty damn awesome that they put that up for download. They definitely have my respect, that’s for sure.
