I spent yesterday with the band working in Haverhill, MA to throw together a video for the Coldplay opener contest. It looks like they had straightened the rules out and made it fair for the competitors. We scrambled to track an entire song and take plenty of video footage and I spent a few hours with Bob today going over the material and putting together a power-packed four-and-a-half minutes. I committed a full day to make sure this would get done in time.

I should learn to expect this kind of thing from these competitions, however…I logged on my computer to submit it to the contest (entries close at midnight tonight) to discover that the winning videos have all ready been CHOSEN. This is BEFORE the entry period is over and once again, the music industry has acted in an irresponsible and unreliable way.

This entry was supposed to be about how great the video came out (which it did) and how great it sounds (which it does) but instead I’m frustrated.

Please check out the video and let us know what you think! We’re very pleased with how it came out. We’re looking forward to the new album!
