Mylo Xyloto cant be just Coincidence

[foxeh]

Sorry for making a new thread but it had to be done.

I just need to get this going again.

http://www.imgjoe.com/x/xslategraffi.jpg

The Font.
Theres noway that Coldplay uses the same Font as coincidence.
Coldplay just made the Font more readable.
And theres also Grafitti under the Font. (thats maybe just a coincidence)



http://www.imgjoe.com/x/x100.jpg

The same Eye as the Major Minus one.


http://www.imgjoe.com/x/x155x.jpg

The Frog.
The Panamanian Golden Frog represents the global crysis of mass species extinction. (The Aliens attacking the Earth?)

http://www.imgjoe.com/x/x5.jpg

Followed by the Attacking from the Clouds by the Aliens.


http://www.imgjoe.com/x/xylocctvswas.jpg

The Swastika.
Normally it represents Luck or a Luckycharm.
But there i think with the Cameras it means something like a surveillance state.
"Big Brother is watching you"
http://www.imgjoe.com/x/13081529nln.jpg

Pink Floyd Concert with MX onit its not Shopped. (thats just for Fun it probably has nothing to do with it)

http://www.imgjoe.com/x/copyofctx.jpg

2 People/Humans are against the Surveillance State and try to make it fall.
Even the Spiral things under the Camera look like the Lighteffect-things in the Coldplay shows.

It makes too much sense in my view.
Even if the Mylo guy said he had no contact with Coldplay.
Either Coldplay stole it :S or Mylo was just lying i cant really believe its just a coincidence.

Feel free to get your own thoughts here.

[rafaelchampion]

There is also the fact that there guys on the pictures wear clothes like this: Shirt darker and pants lighter. Just like the new Coldplay visual.

Also, Xylo's works consists in putting his work around the city, in places people can see it. Just like "I'll go making my mark"

If I remember anything else I post later

[foxeh]

That also makes sense.

And Mylo wrote at the wall(no such evidence, but...)

Another Xylo's work

Cameras again

[jackparker]

Hmm this make a lot of sense.

R42 (I think) posted a pic of one of the band playing a xylophone on twitter - Xylo-Xylophones etc. if you know what I mean.
Could be a hint??

[foxeh]

Yes i had that ages ago.

[Xylophone]
data=0
0=Xylophone
1=Xylobrite
2=Woody Xylo
3=Steelophone
4=BrakeDrum

Xylobrytes is just the Plural of Xylobrite.
Xylobrytes are somekind of Xylophones.

OH MY GOD THE MEANING OF COLDPLAY'S ALBUM IS "LINE"

But seriously. I think you're all looking into this way too much. Aliens? :dozey:
And the whole 1984 thing is so overused in music, if they go with that I will be disappoint. :|

[rafaelchampion]

Coldplay never disapoints me :dozey:

They probably use the "Aliens" as a Methaphor.
But its just fits too well thats the Poblem i have.
If it was like a coincidence of 1 or maybe 2 things...Ok.
But it fits everything.
Also fits to the "Story".

[Samuel_94]

i come back to find the old thread abandoned!!!! :(

[Samuel_94]

i cant find what the mx means from The Wall :(

[Tyderian]

Not only are the colors of the costumes of Coldplay and the picture similar, but Johnny's hat is the same hat as the ones worn by the people in the picture of them sawing down the pole.

[Samuel_94]

guys this is sooooo freaky if its a coincidence

[MosesTheMarshmallow]

y=mx+b

Sigged.

[Tyderian]

Maybe...maybe Mylo's art was the inspiration, but they don't want to acknowledge it because he does stuff with swastikas and they're afraid to offend someone :wink3:

[rafaelchampion]

Maybe they will make it a secret and we will never know

[ilovechriss]

^^^ As you said, if it is coincidence, it would freak me out.. :confused:

[Tyderian]

No one will know except the Coldplaying Kids

[kover]

All will soon be forgotten

[Mrk]

No one will know except the Coldplaying Kids
:cool:

[rafaelchampion]

If they don't tell us, we will never know. We can just imagine that we are right

[howyousawtheworld]

I think the whole Mylo thing is just chance. You've done well to connect the two but it's quite thin evidence I believe.

And 1984 like theme is surely not behind the album. It seems that Coldplay's 5th album is directed towards youth subculture (freedom within a subculture?) not "1984" whether it be the graffiti artists or the German Youth movement Chris Martin referred to a few months back. Surveillance/establishment and all that inevitably seeps into the concept but it's no 1984....way off it I think.

But hey youth subculture or 1984, it certainly makes a change from generic love songs.

[Jack Bauer]

No one will know except the Coldplaying Kids

We got it covered.

[rafaelchampion]

I can't hold this for much longer! I need official info!
Debs Plz :( Help us!

[rafaelchampion]

Will also confessed that the band will probably work on their new record right up until the last minute, saying: "We'll keep going until it literally has to leave to get mastered and pressed. They'll have to wrestle it out of our hands."

They are working so hard...

[Mrk]

Yeah! The Coldplaying Kids strike again!
Haha, long live the CKs! :smug:

[Samuel_94]

they should actually dedicate car kids to us! like the who dedicated one of their albums to the kids of my town: stevenage. but it was before my time. :(:(:(:(:(:(

[icedude2010]

It is curious. Curious indeed.
Maybe Chris= Mylo??

[Samuel_94]

It is curious. Curious indeed.
Maybe Chris= Mylo??

??? :)

[rafaelchampion]

Hahahaha it would be nice but I don't think so.
Someone who have already seen some Mylo/Xylo's art on London Streets could tell us how old are these works. I think the older I've heard of is 2008...

[rafaelchampion]

I got something very very mad. If Chris would be Xylo, of course they would never have heard about him, because he is Chris! Hahahah I may be crazy...

[Sacoldplay]

ok , so tell me if i'm being crazy . but dosn't the thing in the upper left corner looks like a camera pole ?

Didn't find it. Circle it on paint

Watch the boys having to come out and spill the beans three weeks early because of these rumors in the news.

Well, like we are connecting everything, the disposition of that image looks like Xylo's cameras. but actually I think it's only a tree. Maybe I'm wrong

[cackyy]

I haven't been on here for a while, but now you guys are saying mylo xyloto is a painter?

[Jack Bauer]

I think this is getting ridiculous.

[cackyy]

I think this is getting ridiculous.

haha yeah, but it is fun to read and think into stuff like this, for example..here's an article with 10 mind blowing easter eggs hidden in classic albums.....sooo weird

[Jack Bauer]

Guys! I just heard from my friend who's a DJ in Oskosh, Wisconsin, that he heard from a record producer in Italy who once had drinks with a girl who used to date Chris Martin who said that her dog told her that Mylo Xyloto is coming out August 12!

[Samuel_94]

I think this is getting ridiculous.

we'll have worked it all out before they have announced it at this rate!

That's so sweeeeet!!!!! :P

[Tryptophan]

Wait who is Mylo/Xylo and and how does everybody talk about him as if they've known him for ages? I want to join the conversation but I don't know where this is coming from, nor where this is heading.

Has anyone seen my post? (Not trying to be annoying) Who/what is Mylo/Xylo? An artist? And why haven't I heard about it before?

[foxeh]

Can anyone tell me why is "Charlie Brown"nowhere written on any instrument but Cartoon hearts.

[foxeh]

*cough*
Double.

[Tryptophan]

Maybe because they decided to change the song name after the instruments and stuff were painted.

[Jack Bauer]

i dont believe you!!

Im just joking, pretending to be a troll

I don't believe you. You were NOT joking.

[admnistramation]

I don't see Us Against The World on anything. MAYBE IT'S ACTUALLY UP WITH THE BIRDS OR GOLDEN ARROW GUYS.

No seriously, they're not just going to write MX and Major Minus and Charlie Brown all over their gear, it's lyrics, concepts... the titles mean nothing.

[Jack Bauer]

I don't believe you. You were NOT joking.

[ManicStreetOasis]

This may be off, but I was thinking of what Chris said about being inspired by the White Rose movement, so I did a little research on it. I remember someone on here saying (somewhere in the beginning of the original thread :laugh3:), that he had said the album may be about a couple fighting against the world.

I read up a bit on Hans and Sophie Scholl and how they passed out pamphlets at their university in rebellion to the Nazi regime (this could be a reference to the "couple" against the world).

Also, the grafitti could be used as a way for the opressed to speak out (kind of like the way they did with the pamphlets).

This is just an obscure guess from me :laugh3:, but maybe the radio towers on their clothes is in reference to the way the Nazis utilized the radio for propaganda purposes. Chris had mentioned people fighting for themselves while being surrounded by negativity in the world. With all the propaganda, the Germans were definetely surrounded by an enormous amount of negativity.

Yea, and the "Aliens" are a Methaphor for the Nazis.
Thats what i think the whole time. :laugh3:
And it fits everywhere with the art of Mylo.

Some of the college students Hans and Sophie worked with also protested by doing graffiti on buildings around with stuff like "Down with Hitler", "Freedom", etc. I found that cool.

I am too lazy to read all of the posts ! :cry:

[rafaelchampion]

He is a street artist. He "goes making his mark" on the London streets. He basically makes street protest art about things that happen to concern him, such as civil liberties and environmental issues such as extinction. He is the responsible for most of the works in the first page of this thread.

OMG so I did get it after all :\ I thought I was wrong... But I am not. Why the FUCK would they call an album after somebody?! :(

[86Timewarp]

In a recent interview with some guy and Will (it's in the Coldplay or LP5 folder,) they talk about the album as words of encouragement and talk about people who are right but always keep being oppressed so maybe the White Rose Movement is a HUGE clue...and so is Algebra 1 :confused:

[rafaelchampion]

Actually Debs said the album name isn't decided yet. And more than that, she said they've never heard about Xylo. He said, is answer of an email I sent him, that he does not work for the band. That's why we are confuse. Because everything is connected but they say they are not together. but I and some others still believe our theory

[86Timewarp]

So XylO is a person? This is heavy Doc

[rafaelchampion]

yes... :inquisitive:

[Strawberry Swinger]

dont mean to be negative, but the album , so far - not very happy with the originality... i guess i will be proven wrong.

[rafaelchampion]

You will be proven wrong.

I don't know you, but as I say, Coldplay never disappoints me...

agreed!

[Samuel_94]

agreed!

its not that bad guys!! LOL

[astero]

i like the new songs...and take into account that will be more touching songs in the album...pretty sure about it....:)

[Strawberry Swinger]

its not that bad guys!! LOL

compared to their previous work,horrible.

[Chloe_Martin]

Mylo Xyloto................. I dont like it *hides*

[Samuel_94]

compared to their previous work,horrible.

its just... different

[Tryptophan]

agreed!

Agreed, though I was disappointed once before, when I realised how crap Politik has become live in the Viva era. Now it's a bit better, but still.

Anyway, I get the feeling this album will be my least favourite, so it should be an easy task for them to prove me wrong.

[Strawberry Swinger]

its just... different

I cannot and will not like it with that sample... I mean come on, sampling Kraftwerk is OK but I go to Rio?! :dozey:

[Cleggy]

I'm not really looking forward to this new album anymore. In the interview with Q magazine Charlie Brown, ETIAW, Major Minus, Princess of China, MX/Hurts Like Heaven and Us Against the World were seemingly confirmed for the album.

This leaves 4/5 spaces for new songs that we've never heard before which is underwhelming. I wouldn't care about this if the new songs were mind-blowing but so far they've been 'meh'. They're decent songs but I haven't heard anything so far that made me go 'wow' with the exception of Moving to Mars which probably isn't even on the album anyway.

ETIAW is crap. Major Minus is average. The rest are a bit better but there's nothing as good as Clocks, The Scientist, Fix You or Viva La Vida.

Hate to be a pessimist but I think this'll be as disappointing as X&Y. :(

ETIAW is crap. Major Minus is average. The rest are a bit better but there's nothing as good as Clocks, The Scientist, Fix You or Viva La Vida.

Hate to be a pessimist but I think this'll be as disappointing as X&Y. :(

:\

WHAT THE F-?

[the_escapist]

If we have already heard half of the songs on the album, then what were getting next October is a new EP (not LP).

[Cleggy]

WHAT THE F-?

Haha I meant X&Y was disappointing for me. Anyway I think on a whole X&Y is regarded to be Coldplay's weakest album. Even Coldplay themselves think so.

[Tryptophan]

WHAT THE F-?

X&Y happened to be kind of a disappointment for a lot of people after the great AROBTTH. I personally think it is their least good album, but there are great songs on it, e.g. A Message, Til Kingdom Come, Swallowed In The Sea, and yes, Twisted Logic. :wacko:

From the Oracle


July 27, 2011 - submitted by Valentina, Denmark

Q. Q Magazine has written a list of confirmed songs that will make the album cut, but I won't believe it until I hear it from you Oracle. Can you confirm or deny what Q magazine wrote?


The Oracle replies:

Within the first paragraph is the quote that the tracklisting "isn't quite there". That pretty much says it all really. The album is in the final stages and those confirmed songs have been recorded. It's worth remembering that magazines usually work around 2-3 months in advance. That interview took place in mid-June which was as late as Q could leave it before going to print for the September issue. At the time of print those songs may have been "confirmed" but it will be, as Will says, done at the last minute.

There are a lot of nice Songs.
Fix You, White Shadows, Square One , Swallowed in the Sea and so on.
Coldplay never disappointed me.

[rafaelchampion]

And Talk and Speed of Sound and X&Y and A Message and the Hardest Part
The End.
Every album has it's own's qualities and I've never got disappointed too.
And I won't this time

And Low. :sneaky:

They Have Been Recorded doesn't mean it is on the album, but doesn't mean they'll throw it away too. Maybe an EP :cool:

[Tryptophan]

Or b-sides. But I can't imagine Charlie Brown and/or Hurts Like Heaven will not be on the album.

[rafaelchampion]

Yes. For me, Hurts Like Heaven, Charlie Brown, Princess of China and, don't be angry, Major Minus should be on it. The rest would be all new songs and the others would be in an EP...

[Samuel_94]

I cannot and will not like it with that sample... I mean come on, sampling Kraftwerk is OK but I go to Rio?! :dozey:

I can understand why you don't like that aspect of it but if you had never heard of I Go To Rio before you would be none the wiser. However, I also understand why many Coldplay fans dislike it because it is soooo far detached from their normal style.

[rafaelchampion]

I guess it's brilliant. I just don't wan't it on the album for many reasons. The same reasons I wan't Major Minus to be on it. It's just not explainable.

[Samuel_94]

I'm not saying I want it on the album because I don't but I dont think people have given a chance

[Tryptophan]

I'm not saying I want it on the album because I don't but I dont think people have given a chance

Please, not the whole "give it a chance" thing again. I've heard it many times and it's always meh, meher, mehest.

[foxeh]

I cant believe why you guys still cry about one fricking Song over and over again.
If you dont like the Song k.
They tried something different as their usual slow/sad song style, and i like it that they try something else.
I would not like Coldplay if they had only the same Songs.
Like this German Singer "Xavier Naidoo" he only sings sad Songs some sound nice but it gets so annoying.
Also ETIAW is nearly the same as VLV, and everyone loved VLV.
I dont defy Coldplay being/become/became shit only because 1 fu**ed up Song.
Although i like the Song.

This is what I was trying to get at but they wont have it! :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry:

[Tryptophan]

Haha, now don't cry please. :blank:

I've never been fond of Viva La Vida, actually. And I'm not alone.

[Samuel_94]

The radio played that far too much, it was a long time before I could bring myself to listen to that song again!!!

[rafaelchampion]

As I said a long long time ago, I doubt anyone can go on a concert and stay stopped while they play Viva La Vida or ETIAW.
The end

[ColdplayingfromKansas]

I hate to be that person, but . . . I'm starting to get concerned about what LP5 is gonna sound like after all of these discussions :uhoh:

[rafaelchampion]

Don't worry: Coldplay will never disappoint us ;)

[Tryptophan]

As I said a long long time ago, I doubt anyone can go on a concert and stay stopped while they play Viva La Vida or ETIAW.
The end

I saw them earlier this month and I went crazy on Viva along with the rest of the crowd, but during ETIAW I couldn't be bothered.

@Kansas girl: Don't worry, listening to LP5 won't be as annoying as reading these discussions. :D

[footyfan10]

No reason a bunch of fans with their underwear in knots need to prevent people from enjoying the album. Honestly, the minute its out I'm not coming on this forum for weeks if not months. I'll check the site, but this forum is really just a place for the most discontented to kick and scream. It's become very tiring. Nothing wrong with people sharing opinions, but what's been going on here for a while is a bit much.

[kover]

I can remember a time when I hated every single Coldplay song out there...
Especially Viva La Vida. It wanted to make me strangle someone.
But things changed (for the better)

If you dont like it dont bother coming on here. Sorry to sound rude but its as simple as that :)

[ColdplayingfromKansas]

I lol'd at Kansas girl :lol:

idk, some of the discussions are fairly plausible :shrug: Plus, it's something to keep us occupied while the guys finish up LP5

[Tryptophan]

Yeah, it's boring having nothing to do. I wish I had some re-examinations. No really, I don't. I've been on this forum during the exam period (June) more times than I do now so work probably has nothing to do with my activity here.

And I think people who dislike things, in general, are more eager to vent their opinions than people who like something. In fact I'm sure of that.

[lutzno]

how long ago was it that chris said it would be 6 weeks until some announcement? must be at least 4 by now

[Samuel_94]

I've been counting and it is around four weeks to the day give or take. I think the Ryan Seacrest interview was the last day of June but i may be slightly wrong

[Samuel_94]

It was definitely a Friday

[xylobryte]

Yeah, I'm pretty sure it was July 1st when the interview took place, which was a Friday. So it's been almost four weeks... don't know how it's gone so fast, the wait for the band to announce something (whatever it is) has been torture! :D
Can't be long now, surely...

[ManicStreetOasis]

Haha, now don't cry please. :blank:

I've never been fond of Viva La Vida, actually. And I'm not alone.

I hope this isn't...."wrong" :laugh3:, but it's "Clocks" for me....have never been much of a fan of that song.

[Strawberry Swinger]

I can understand why you don't like that aspect of it but if you had never heard of I Go To Rio before you would be none the wiser. However, I also understand why many Coldplay fans dislike it because it is soooo far detached from their normal style.

I will correct that is moderate what I said... I don't respect the usage of that sample. It is beyond them,especially at this stage. And I don't like it just because, it is really really too corny for me. It seems like pure "hit" material, and that's it. It's like they wanted to write the most commercial song in the world and make it spin on MTV as heavy as possible. And I know Coldplay are not exactly hard rock ,but ETIAW is the most pop song they have ever done... and not good pop imo...

Besides, come on, compare it to Moving to Mars. The saddest thing is that it won't be on the album, probably...

[rafaelchampion]

Major Minus is my preferred song on the EP.

[Strawberry Swinger]

Major Minus is my preferred song on the EP.

I like that one too :) but I don't like ETIAW at all :(

Out of the new songs, the ones that I would put on the album are Charlie Brown, Moving to Mars, Major Minus, UATW and Princess of China I guess... HLH is kinda so and so to me...

[zodiac192]

to me, it makes sense that they're calling the song "MX" at the moment. if mylo xyloto is the title of the record, they may wanna keep it under wraps for now.

[ManicStreetOasis]

That's actually a really good point :).

[Twisted__Logic]

I'm sure that the "Wow" song is still secret and we haven't heard it yet... It could be UFO. maybe coldplay just played de rubbish ones on the festivals. I hope that.

[rafaelchampion]

Hurts Like Heaven is not rubbish. With The Goldrush and Chinese Sleep Chant it makes my TOP 3

[JackZ]

That is a very interesting top 3. :)

[rafaelchampion]

Hahaha I like that 2 "strange songs". The classic ones are wonderfull, but such kind of songs like Gdrsh and CSC make me like them even more

[86Timewarp]

You sir have good taste :laugh3: :D

Uh wow....now i really wonder

[icedude2010]

I think VLV was my favorite.... Strangely enough, it seems like 'Yes' is the song that made that album so great haha. Everytime I'm listening to it, Yes really gets me going hehe

[Chloe_Martin]

I love Parachutes........

[Cheese Nip 2]

What I really like about X&Y and Viva La Vida is the way the songs flow. I don't quite know how to put this, but to me both feel like concept albums. Also of coarse the songs are brilliant!!

That what I like most about it. None of the songs would make my personal Coldplay top 5 (at least not at the moment, my top 5 used to be full of them at a point) but the whole of the album is brilliant.

Just a thought: they should release webisodes next time around documenting the process, it would take away a huge veil of speculatory nonsense.

[JackZ]

Promos in Australia.

[ColdplayingfromKansas]

do you guys think the guys will tell something on monday?

:nod: I hope!

After all, if they're doing promos then they have to talk about LP5 at some point :P

[JackZ]

Or they'll just ignore it and every time theyre asked a question about the album Chris will make that sound he did when Ryan Seacrest asked about Gwyneth :D

[ilovechriss]

^ I know what sound you mean haha :P

[ColdplayingfromKansas]

Or they'll just ignore it and every time theyre asked a question about the album Chris will make that sound he did when Ryan Seacrest asked about Gwyneth :D

:P That was great.

Or he'll just say 'Aw come on man, no one wants to hear about that. It's rubbish anyway, let's talk about [insert random topic here] instead!'

[Bluejay]

:P That was great.

Or he'll just say 'Aw come on man, no one wants to hear about that. It's rubbish anyway, let's talk about [Porridge] instead!'

:nod:

[ColdplayingfromKansas]

:lol:

[Blue Nails]

^^LOL

But we can still hope :wink3:

[Bluejay]

Of course. I hope they'll tell us something about LP5. If it's mainly Chris talking, though, I'm not so sure :rolleyes:

[Abracadabra]

I don't expect to hear anything relevant to LP5 until perhaps the 12th August. Unless that was a joke as well.

Hey I'm looking for the Gwyneth noise. Where can I find it? :lol:

[astero]

oh!! guyss! Mylo xyloto wasn't a coincidence.....!!

[bdevil89]

I've posted my thoughts on this elsewhere on other threads -

Mylo - UK street artist that has images that trying to wake up the masses to the real events that are going on around us but we don't care or realize the gravity of the situation

http://www.xylo.me/

Xyloto - this one is a little trickier - xyloto could be a play on the world xylo - a group of uk street artists. Xylo - wood, the precursor/origin of modern day street art/alternative media - graffiti, posters, ceramics, or xyloto could mean another code word for surveillance, cameras per Mylo's lexicon.

anyway, brilliant name, and kudos to the person finding this artist - it is absolutely the meaning behing the album name and now more people will check out this artist's work.

Look at the artwork and its commentary on global extinction of the natural world, our obsession with electronics (like the pacifier on the ipod), the hourglass within the world -
awesome, amazing, and relevant.
