Coldplay, Long Tail and an Email from my favourite friend :)

listen to violet hill by coldplay if you've not already..

Pot - to bring an esoteric angle to it which otherwise will not titillate you enough to listen.. coldplay's latest album, viva la vida has cleaned up the charts in the US, UK, Aus and other parts of the world. This is more like what Chris Anderson says..they sold 125,000 copies in 1 day in UK alone and has become one of the biggest selling records in the first week of release.. they have all the makings of becoming a good marketing case study esp for records. They did a free gig in London with a few select songs from the album and used social network sites and other music download sites to promote 2 of the 10 songs from the album by offering free downloads. The song also features in iTunes' latest ad campaign.. So music companies are still managing to reap profits despite the digital barricades when marketed right!

I'm bored at work and need to do something fun to keep myself sane.. so today, I'm gonna leave work at 4 and until then just reply to mails and not do any work.. :)

So, all ye buggers, pls reply
