Chris greets all the crew at the top of the soundcheck in West Palm Beach with a schoolmasterly, "Welcome back everyone, hope you all had a nice summer holidays".A six week tour break has been a real treat indeed. Everyone is looking rested, relaxed and rejuvenated. We've also flown west, which means that although there is a little jetlag to contend with, we've gained five hours. After the timezone table-tennis that this year began with, it's a pleasant boost. Not unlike pulling on an old pair of jeans and finding some cash in the pocket.
Inevitably, after a long break, everyone feels a wee bit rusty. The soundcheck is a long-ish affair as everyone slips slowly back into the well worn groove. It's not like we're doing anything wildly different, but a long break can mean it takes a little while to feel comfortable in your environment again. The afternoon then, is spent spraying our scent about the place and marking territory.

After three glorious weeks of real life, families, home and becoming human again we're back to a quick stint of recording. There has been some listening back to things recorded earlier in the year and some exploring of new ideas.
Will has a new toy for drum programming which has sent him on a beat-making odyssey. He rolls up today with a new idea and announces cheerfully to all that, "It's in seven four time and it's 168 bpm". For those of you less versed in music theory, "Seven four time" means that when he kicks off the drum machine, everyone spends a lot of time asking, "Where's the one?". Meanwhile, "168 bpm" means that everyone is getting confused very quickly.

01AprSnimanje u slobodnom padu
Na zvaničnom sajtu je danas objavljeno da su članovi grupe Coldplay odlučili da isprobaju novu tehniku snimanja - tokom slobodnog pada, odnosno bez uticaja gravitacije.
Ovo će biti izvedeno uz pomoć aviona Boing, koji neophodne uslove može da obezbedi na periode od oko 20 sekundi. Svi će biti odeveni u "staromodna" odela ruskih kosmonauta, dok će zvuk biti sniman uz pomoć starog kasetofona iz 1969. godine.

Howdy folks.
Apologies for the week and a bit of dead-air. I'm contributing photos to the new, updated tourbook and ploughing through all the pics I have has been nothing short of an insane task. It would appear that since the tour began, the mirror on my camera has clicked up and down just short of ten thousand times. I have no idea how this has happened. I deliberately haven't enabled the annoying "chickkit-chikkit-chikkit" motor drive mode, even...
As you can imagine, ploughing through this lot and getting it into some kind of order has been an all-consuming task. No excuse for dereliction of duty, I know, but there you go.

I have a new hobby folks. I've been pap papping.
Here's a likely-looking fella who was hiding in the bushes as we left the hotel this morning. I had a lovely chat with him about what cameras he uses and how big his lens was (a whopping 600mm in case you're interested). He seemed distracted though and eventually a little huffy - almost as though he was more interested in taking photos of the band than talking to me. Looking back on it, I think I may have been in his way somewhat...
