Apple CEO Steve Jobs used a performance by Coldplay's Chris Martin and a video of Lady Gaga to help launch new Apple music products during the company's annual media event earlier today (September 1st).
After rolling out a new lineup of iPod models, Chris Martin took the stage to perform Wedding Bells on piano, as well as Viva La Vida and Yellow, at the end of a press conference for the company's new products at the Yerba Buena Centre in San Francisco which was also screened live on TV screens at The Brewery in east London. Introducing Wedding Bells, Chris who was wearing a white Flaming Lips t-shirt, joked: "This is a new song called 'Coldplay 2.6' and it has a lot of new features, it features seven different kinds of chords and even a new one that our closest rivals have no idea about," before adding: "This could be the only time you ever hear it. It could go terribly wrong but we'll see what happens."
Today is 10. anniversary of which is the debut album of Coldplay. Happy Birthday Paracutes... You can read the article written by Coldplay and also listen High Speed's live performance:
Good morning. Ten years ago today, on 10 July 2000, Coldplay released their debut album, Parachutes. To celebrate the anniversary, we thought you might like to hear this version of High Speed which the band performed that very day, during a special album launch gig at HMV in London's Oxford Street (actually the band's 100th show). Big thanks to Xfm for the audio. We even managed to dig out a pass from the day...
Time flies...

Chris and Jonny's slasher flick appearance unearthed!
Saturday, 19 June 2010 15:20
Good afternoon. A few years ago, Chris and Jonny were persuaded to star in Slashed, a horror movie made on the road by Northern Irish band Ash. The film never saw the light of day and has since become the stuff of legend. But now, Ash have decided to use some of the footage for the video of their new single, Binary, which is out this week. We called up Ash's frontman Tim Wheeler to find out more about Slashed and Coldplay's role in it.
Hi Tim. How did Chris and Jonny come to be in Slashed? We were on tour with Coldplay, doing a lot of support slots in America in 2002. When you're a support band, you've got a lot of free time, so we decided to make a slasher movie on the road. And then we kept meeting so many interesting people and getting them involved. It was kind of amazing how much fun we had and how many people wanted to join in on the action. Dave Grohl is in it too.
Good evening. If you get a spare half hour, please do watch the new "The Lazarus Effect" film by (RED) and HBO. The 30 minute film shows that in as few as 40 days people with HIV/AIDS can undergo a remarkable transformation and be brought back to life if they have access to the two lifesaving pills that cost around 30 pence / 40 cents a day in Africa. You can watch it below:
