Coldplay Qs


Hey all,

     I finally got "Parachutes" for Christmas, and want more.  Can anyone 
recommend which import singles and EPs are the most worthy to buy, while the 
stores still have 'em?
     Also, has anybody heard StarSailor yet?  I saw them on "The Late Show", 
and really dug what they were doing.  They reminded me of Midnight Oil circa 
"Earth Sun Moon", but I think I'm suffering from "Tootsie Roll syndrome", 
which is to say "whatever it is I think I see, becomes a Tootsie Roll to 
me".  Comprende?  Anyhow, the music press is giving them the big "15 
minutes" of hype now, and is apt to liken them to Travis or Coldplay.  I'd 
wager that analogy is more accurate.  Anybody hear or purchase them yet?
     Oh, I heard "Jacksie" on my local public radio station last night!  
(wyep.org)  The DJ was playing "spiritual/religious" themed songs, and the 
set also incleded Cohen's "Sisters of Mercy" and "Screaming Infidelities" by 
Dashboard Confessional.  She was playing these tunes in honor of a friend 
who had entered seminary.  She mentioned how cool OtR is, tried to remember 
where they are from (settling on Cincy), and lamented the fact that they 
haven't graced Pittsburgh with their presence in some time. :-(  So, if you 
read this Linford, come back to us!  Oh, and work "Jacksie" back into your 
set, as it is a masterpiece!  I'd forgotten how lovely it sounds!  Then 
there's the memories- it was the first OtR song I'd ever heard, back in '92 
or '93, when I purchased "Patience" on an educated whim, and slapped it into 
my CD player.  Love at first sound?  Not quite...but that evolved shortly 
thereafter, make NO mistake.
     The list has been quiet lately.  I wanted to start another controversy, 
but this'll have to do. ;-)  Anyway, classes are in session, and I will most 
likely be posting considerably less than last month, if at all.  (Party at 
Ysoie's. ;-))  So, no long debates for me.  The hallowed halls of academia 
await!

Academia nuts,

Matt
