OK, I know it's deeply uncool to like Coldplay, but I unapologetically do. We went to see them at Wembley last night and the whole evening was a joyful experience. My son and daughters were there, having also been to Oasis last month, and the consensus of their opiniins was that Coldplay were hands down better. One quote was that the Oasis gig might as well have been a couple of randoms doing karaoke, whilst Coldplay put on a proper show. They loved it last night, and so did I.
I’ve seen them a few times. They put on a great show, always uplifting and a visual treat too. I say this despite only really liking their first two albums. Part of the English condition to knock people/bands/organisations once they’ve reached a level or success. Not enough has been made of the appalling manner Oasis’ management handled their ticket sales. Sick of hearing the media fawning over them and how great it is they are back. Two ignorant egotistical blokes fighting like children for years, brought back together by the medium of huge financial gain, beautiful. Having stated the obvious, I actually quite like Oasis too, despite their unoriginal often formulaic tunes.
The Hostage on Netflix. This drivel is so staggeringly awful, so very poorly written it’s actually magnificent. For anyone on here, I warn you, Coventry vs QPR would be a more entertaining watch. A totally, shockingly dire plot which if not so outrageously unbelievable is finalised by someone calling 999 and getting an armed police response (as it’s a silent 999 call) and that’s what happens. This is up there with The Room as regards pi55poor TV/Film. If this is the standard of what the general public find realistic or entertaining, we are doomed. Beyond dreadful.
