Twas the Night Before Coldplay's Release

As most everyone knows, Coldplay's latest, X & Y, hits record shelves tomorrow. EMI is banking on this one release to help bring them back to par financially (no pun intended), while I could care less.

I guess you could call me a self-loathing Coldplay fan. When Parachutes came out, I was all over that shit. A Rush of Blood to the Head, was a fine album, albeit more commercial. Now everyone thinks that they are God's frieken gift to the music world, leaving me with a slight dilemma. To like Coldplay now is borderline "guilty pleasure."

Now, the average Coldplay fan is in dire need of a reality check. It is one blogger on Craigslist who provides this invaluable service.
