Yesterday I went on iTunes to search for something - Red Fang maybe, or was it Patrick Watson? - and I see on the home page that the Classic Album of the Week is Coldplay's 2000 release Parachutes. So I click. And I preview 'Don't Panic' and I'm immediately reminded of hours wasted laying around listening to the Garden State soundtrack. Next I preview Sparks, then Yellow, then Trouble, and before I know it I've PURCHASED A COLDPLAY ALBUM.
Obviously I can never let anyone look through my music library on my iPhone ever again. Put it on shuffle at a party? Nope, too risky. I know I'm supposed to hate Coldplay because they're totally cheesy and they supposedly rip off their songs and Chris Martin's whiny voice and Chris Martin's whiny wife (is Gwyneth Paltrow whiny? I don't know, I just couldn't have an 'I hate Coldplay' list without mention of her) but I just don't. There. It's out. I LIKE Coldplay. We all have our musical guilty pleasures and I say we hide them no more! I'm embracing my inner dork and you should, too!
