Nostalgia? Remembering Mylo Xyloto from the beginning.
Warning: This is a huge post
 I really wanted to give you guys the tweets with their exact date with day, month and everything but twitter didn't help me =/  From the moment I've seen this man, I knew something huge was about to come. It's 9 months since Mylo Xyloto was released, but it's story is older, and I am one of the fortunate people that followed it since the rumors of a new Coldplay album started to become strong. Today, when I stop and remember all the things Mylo Xyloto era has given to us, I feel very nostalgic, but the most special thing was to receive all the news and solve the puzzles with you, Coldplayng guys. So, I decided to make a timeline, from the first rumors to today. Let's have fun "coldplay He's back! Roadie #42 updates us on the recording sessions for Coldplay's new album... http://bit.ly/42blog122 A About 1 years ago" ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "coldplay New Roadie #42 blog, in which he discusses the importance of studio tea and shows Chris and Guy playing xylophone http://bit.ly/r42b124 A About 1 years ago" ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "coldplay Christmas Lights. The countdown has begun... http://www.coldplay.com About 1 years ago" ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "coldplay Watch the making of the Christmas Lights video (featuring a sneak preview of the song...) http://www.coldplay.com About 1 years ago" ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "coldplay Christmas Lights is out now! Watch the video, download the song http://cldp.ly/xmaslightsout #christmaslights About 1 years ago" ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "coldplay Roadie #42 is back with a blog full of news, pictures and a video of Chris and Jonny rehearsing an old favourite... http://cldp.ly/r42b125 About 1 years ago" From Roadie: "Ever the multi-taskers, the band decide to head back to the studio - there's an album to finish, after all." ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "coldplay Studiofeed #1 http://www.coldplay.com/ About 1 years ago " It's funny because it's called Studiofeed #1, but it's the only studiofeed that ever existed LOL ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "coldplay Roadie #42 is back with another update from the studio - http://cldp.ly/r42b129 About 1 years ago" ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From here, things start to be more interesting. The era concept starts to flow. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "coldplay At our first photoshoot for a long time, pH http://twitpic.com/51n5nx About 1 years ago "  ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "coldplay I turn the music up / I got my records on / I shut the world outside until the lights come on About 1 years ago" ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------    ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "AATKTDATKANUMMFAL http://youtu.be/9_uSoTlHboc About 1 years ago" ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "ITTMUIOARTTAHIIS http://youtu.be/km0etEomzr8 About 1 years ago" ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "ITTMUIGMROFUTRSARSDWTSAGDIRBACTAFS http://youtu.be/brgUD5c50oo About 1 years ago" ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Trapezes http://youtu.be/LU5fk8i30Lg About 1 years ago" ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "And finally... http://youtu.be/qSWPg9DGCHw About 1 years ago" ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- And then, the big announcement! "Enough teasing... we have a new song called Every Teardrop Is A Waterfall. Hear it on Friday. See artwork/lyrics now http://cldp.ly/etisaw About 1 years ago"    ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "coldplay Every Teardrop Is A Waterfall is about to make its radio debut - listen right now at http://cldp.ly/r1livenow #ETIAW About 1 years ago" ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This was one of the best moments ever. I remember it was a really cold day here in Brazil (yes, it's possible). It was 4AM. I still have the record of the first airplay. It's 30 minutes of a bit of Coldplay's story and some live songs, then ETIAW. Loved it from the first moment. But the best was still to come.  Rock Im Park was their first festival after ETIAW and I don't remember exactly if we were expecting new songs aside ETIAW, but they came. Hurts Like Heaven, Charlie Brown, Princess Of China, Us Against the World and Major Minus. It was more than we could ever expect. Yes guys, it was the first time some of our little faves came into light. Unfortunately Rock Im Park was not broadcasted, so everything we had was videos from people in the show. Until next day... Rock Am Ring ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Thanks for all the kind words on ETIAW..I wish we could release all the new songs tomorrow, but chris just wrote a new one ! pH About 1 years ago" ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- First Don't Let it Break Your Heart mention and rumors: "Watching Jonny Buckland playing a new bit on DLIBYH. He is in a new zone of wonderfulness. CM About 1 years ago" ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "As R#42 explains in his new blog, Coldplay are using their days off between festivals to work on new songs... http://cldp.ly/R42b134 A About 1 years ago" ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Trying to organise a track listing for the album. Chris keeps complicating it by writing brilliant new songs. W" About 1 years ago ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Shooting an epic video for every teardrop PH http://t.co/yaMdxum About 1 years ago"  ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Every Teardrop Is A Waterfall and Major Minus to be released on 7"", CD and digital bundle on 27 June - info/pre-order http://t.co/N7QNBjZ A About 1 years ago" ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "coldplay 2 new songs - Major Minus and Moving To Mars - out on iTunes on Sunday. Part of ETIAW EP. PH About 1 years ago" ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Here it is - the premiere of the brand new video for Every Teardrop Is A Waterfall http://t.co/bb50BZV About 1 years ago ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Only a few more weeks left before we have to finish the album. Exciting. Guy About 1 years ago " ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Meanwhile (I don't remember exactly where this enter among all this above), Spark, our Coldplaying friend, came along with the theory that the new album (until now called with love "LP5") was going to be called Mylo Xyloto. To remember our paranoid theories about what was Mylo Xyloto and the inspiration for this (which was a bit wrong, a bit right, in the end), go to this thread: http://www.coldplaying.com/forum/showthread.php?t=78214 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Coldplay's new album, Mylo Xyloto, is out on Oct 24. Check out the artwork - and more info - at http://t.co/BEDfjEB 11 months ago"  ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Weird sense of relief announcing Mylo Xyloto and release date..Paradise, Up in flames, Princess of China - let's get em out there! PH 11 months ago" ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I guess it was around this point we had the news that a woman was going to feat. Princess of China. Not far after this we discovered it was Rihanna. "Roadie #42 has been in the studio with the band as they rehearse some new songs. Read all about it at http://t.co/KlgvpGO A 10 months ago" ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Coldplay's new single, #Paradise, gets its first play on Radio 1 at 7.50am UK time on Mon Sept 12. Listen then at http://t.co/z9OzrvK A 10 months ago ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tracklist came    ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- New confetti on festivals  ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Mylo Xyloto release date and Pop-Up Edition announced "The CD, vinyl, digital & special pop-up versions of Mylo Xyloto are all now available to pre-order - check 'em out at http://t.co/y5q1Fw9 A 10 months ago "  ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "paradise video shoot PH http://t.co/QG60Kxh 10 months ago"  ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Lots of interesting Mylo Xyloto info in this piece on Music Week's website (inc a track-by-track rundown from Chris) http://t.co/mjhFDXqN A 10 months ago" ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Karoo Desert, South Africa.

Classic stuff, I remember it like it was yesterday. I actually still listen to the Rock am Ring recordings today and flashback to last year when all this was going on. Good times, thanks for posting all this in one thread, very useful and very helpful

That's awesome, thank you!
And btw, I remember that the photoshoot happened on the 23rd May 2011, ETIAW hints started on the 24th May and ended on the 30th May (one hint every day, except those three gifs on the 25th May) with the single announcement on the 31st May. I know this because I did a review of the month of May:http://www.coldplaying.com/forum/showthread.php?t=91296

This is great! Thank you.
 I remember the ETIAW running man more than anything. I was on a trip with my senior class, and we were leaving to some mall. I checked Facebook and voila -- new Coldplay. That was fun. I loved getting to see new videos/GIFs each day until graduation.

I remember the first listen of ETIAW live on radio the most - it was the most amazing feeling ever hearing it, words can't describe how I felt. I remember they played it twice in a row, I then listened to it on repeat probably about 30 times in one day haha. Still one of my favourite songs from this era
