TEXT DUMP:

Unfortunately I don't think I'll have enough time to do a Coldplay review for the months of 2009 like we did last year, so I thought that if there was enough interest in it then 12 volunteers could do one month each, posting their review on successive days like we did in 2008 culminating in a full 2009 review by the end of the year. If you are interested, reply to the thread below

Here are the reviews from 2008 to give you a feel of how the reviews work (use of coldplaying new articles, youtube vids, pics etc to build up a story, and then a monthly poll) and to see if anyone would have the time to spread the work

http://www.coldplaying.com/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=71

If nothing else, the different styles of reviews would be something to look forward to reading!

If it helps anyone decide, I started last year by using the main site search function, slowly working back to page 1 (the latest news).

Here's where 2009 begins: http://www.coldplaying.com/index.php...261&total=6700 (January 2009 starts at news item 5576.)

Each month reviewer should start with the 1st day of their month using the main site search. e.g. March 2009 would be at http://www.coldplaying.com/index.php...971&total=6700

Most of the main site news articles have within them links to the forum threads where all the discussion, youtube vides, pictures, wikicoldplay references etc are. I found around 15 decent different news stories per month and then created a poll asking which was your favourite. You may decide to do it differently, its your choice as the reviewer. Whatever you decide there is a wealth of information at your disposal!

Mimixxx · 10-12-2009, 10:14 PM

I'll do one Bossman

Space Cadet · 10-12-2009, 10:23 PM

I could do one.

howyousawtheworld · 10-12-2009, 10:45 PM

I would love to do one. But there's pressure on me to get everything covered in the month ain't there.

Zeya · 10-12-2009, 10:51 PM

If you can tell me what to cover (unless it's for March cause I know pretty much what they did then

) I'd be gladly to help...
Though my writing's far from perfect.

iPsy · 10-12-2009, 10:53 PM

i'D LOVE TO PLEASE!

marie/pims · 11-12-2009, 04:10 AM

SueDeNimes · 11-12-2009, 01:30 PM

I didn't see this thread until now

If you still need more people I can sum up one month, too!

Texasluvsjonny · 11-12-2009, 02:35 PM

I could do one. I think maybe I saw them in every month so I can give a first hand account.

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!
