SIRIUS' Alt Nation to become "Coldplay Nation" for ten days beginning June
13

NEW YORK, June 11 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- SIRIUS Satellite Radio
(Nasdaq: SIRI) today announced that Coldplay will take over SIRIUS' Alt
Nation channel 21 for ten days.

Coldplay Nation will premiere on Friday, June 13 at 6:00 pm ET and will
air through Sunday, June 22. The launch of Coldplay Nation coincides with
the release of Viva La Vida, Coldplay's new album, which will be in stores
June 17.

The channel will feature music from Viva La Vida as well as other
Coldplay songs and will include personal introductions by members of the
band, including lead singer Chris Martin. The band will also select songs
by artists who have influenced them over the years and some of their
favorite music from today.

Viva La Vida, Coldplay's fourth album, " ... was fueled by a desire to
move from black and white into color," says Coldplay frontman Chris Martin.
"Or, if you like, we decided to let our garden grow a little more unkempt.
The bloodhound was let off its leash."

"Coldplay has found chart-topping worldwide success by creating one of
the most distinctive sounds and styles in popular music today," said Scott
Greenstein, SIRIUS President of Entertainment and Sports. "We are thrilled
to give Coldplay and their fans a channel on SIRIUS where they can hear the
band introduce their music in addition to the unique music always played on
Alt Nation, uninterrupted and non-stop for an unprecedented ten full days."

Coldplay Nation continues SIRIUS' tradition of creating exclusive
limited-run artist-branded channels dedicated to iconic musicians. SIRIUS
has previously offered limited-run channels such as Radio R.E.M., Weezer
Nation, Rolling Stones Radio, E Street Radio, Neil Diamond Radio, and JAY-Z
Nation, among many others.

Done by! Gum by! In a cave in the hills he dwelt alone, And meat was hard to come by. Up came Tom with his big boots on. Said he to Troll: 'Pray, what is yon? For it looks like the shin o' my nuncle Tim, As should be a-lyin' in graveyard. Caveyard! Paveyard! This many a year has Tim been gone, And I thought he were lyin' in graveyard.' 'My lad,' said Troll, 'this bone I stole. But what be bones that lie in a hole? Thy nuncle was dead as a lump o' lead, Afore I found his shinbone. Tinbone! Thinbone! He can spare a share for a poor old troll, For he don't need his shinbone.' Said Tom: 'I don't see why the likes o' thee Without axin' leave should go makin' free With the shank or the shin o' my father's kin; So hand the old bone over! Rover! Trover! Though dead he be, it belongs to he; So hand the old bone over!' 'For a couple o' pins,' says Troll, and grins, 'I'll eat thee too, and gnaw thy shins. A bit o' fresh meat will go down sweet! I'll try my teeth on thee now. Hee now! See now! I'm tired o' gnawing old bones and skins; I've a mind to dine on thee now.' But just as he thought his dinner was caught, He found his hands had hold of naught. Before he could mind, Tom slipped behind And gave him the boot to larn him. Warn him! Darn him! A bump o' the boot on the seat, Tom thought, Would be the way to larn him. But harder than stone is the flesh and bone Of a troll that sits in the hills alone. As well set your boot to the mountain's root, For the seat of a troll don't feel it. Peel it! Heal it! Old Troll laughed, when he heard Tom groan, And he knew his toes could feel it. Tom's leg is game, since home he came, And his bootless foot is lasting lame; But Troll don't care, and he's still there With the bone he boned from its owner. Doner! Boner! Troll's old seat is still the same, And the bone he boned from its owner!" Albums of the Year 2011 - Vote Here!
