Give Coldplay a call : Shiny Shiny

No, those Coldplay boys haven't been copying Radiohead again and volunteering for the Samaritans, but if you do want to chat to them you can now give them a call. If you've got a Skype phone you can leave a message on the band's answer machine and if you manage to say something they like (my tip is to say something trite about "trying your best but not succeeding"), they may just give you a call back. Visit Skype.com and leave a message lasting no more than 20 seconds, saying why you think the new single, "Talk", is so good. Good luck with that one. All messages must be in English and you must leave your Skype ID too. The competition ends on February 28th, with the callback taking place in March.
