Lightbulb 12 Coldplayers of Christmas (Coldplay reviews for the months of 2012) ## REVIEWS BEGIN 19TH DEC! ##

Fancy putting your hand to writing a review of Coldplay/Coldplaying for a specific month of 2012?

Just some of the things that happened this year (and much much more not listed!):

Charlie Brown video released
Princess Of China video released
Grammy Awards 2012 performance
Brit Awards 2012 performance
North American, European and Australasian tours
Coldplay back at Wembley with Capital FM Summertime Ball
All those live streams!
Mylo Xyloto comic series announced
Hurts Like Heaven video released
Paralympics Closing Ceremony performance and forum activity records broken
Frst Amsterdam performance in 7 years!
MTV Video Music Awards 2012
Release of Live 2012
Latin American tour announced.. then pulled
Coldplay haitus and LP6 rumours
Mylo Xyloto album artwork exhibition
Will Champion in Game Of Thrones announcement
New Year's Eve concert with Jay-Z announced
GRAMMY nominations for 2013
Another year without Car Kids


The 12 days of Coldplay/Coldplaying Christmas went well last year so if there was enough interest in it this time round then 12 volunteers could do one month each, posting their review on successive days like we did in 2008, 2009, 2010 and 2011 and culminating in a full 2012 review by the end of the calendar year. You can apply on your own or as a pair (or even more!)

If you are interested, reply to the thread below with your preference for month

Here are the reviews from 2008,reviews of 2009, reviews of 2010 and reviews of 2011 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)

The different styles of reviews would be something to look forward to reading!

If it helps anyone to gather ideas, its east to use the main site search function, slowly working forward to page 1 (the latest news).

Here's where 2012 begins: http://www.coldplaying.com/index.php...261&total=7828

Each month reviewer should start with the 1st day of their month using the main site search. e.g. May 2012 would be at http://www.coldplaying.com/index.php...171&total=7828

You can also use: http://www.wikicoldplay.com
and: Coldplaying Google search at http://www.google.com/cse?cx=partner...gsc.q=coldplay
and of course the Coldplaying forum search at http://www.coldplaying.com/forum/search.php

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. There should be around 5-10 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!

Posting dates (into the forthcoming Reviews of 2012 sub-forum):

Completed list - 10th December 2012 (3pm GMT):

January - 19th December 2012 (zzz)
February - 20th December 2012 (42JTR)
March - 21st December 2012 (suzanafg)
April - 22nd December 2012 (zzz)
May - 23rd December 2012 (LFDianne)
June - 24th December 2012 (Anchorman, coldplay.com)
July - 26th December 2012 (JillyBlue)
August - 27th December 2012 (SuperFitz)
September - 28th December 2012 (A Coldplay fan)
October - 29th December 2012 (MorningGlory)
November - 30th December 2012 (Viva_La_Coldplay)

Thanks to everyone who decides to volunteer!

it means everything and it means nothing to everybody and nobody - Guy Berryman

Phil, who is our fifth member, he doesn’t play an instrument but he plays the mobile phone and the laptop computer - Will Champion

a negative capability is the ability within yourself to accept that things go up and down and you can't always control it and they can't always be up but they won't always be down - Chris Martin

it’s a good noisy crowd that sing through the show at the Ahoy - none more so than when the band are on the B-Stage and the cheer for Will during Us Against The World is so huge that the song grinds to a halt amidst disbelieving giggles on stage - Roadie #42

What would CAJM do?
