New-to-me music.

In listening to the free live album from Coldplay, I realized that some of the songs I had never heard before must have been recorded at one point or another.  I was assuming that Coldplay wouldn’t release them for the first time on this free live thingy.  I knew they weren’t on any of the four studio albums they’ve released because I have them all, so I thought maybe there were EPs or live albums or something.

Well, whaddayaknow.  There are a BUNCH of Coldplay songs that I don’t have!  I was pretty surprised, but then I realized that it makes a lot of sense that I wouldn’t have know.  I mean, I don’t follow them like I follow Hanson, so I wouldn’t know about stuff like that.  But they released an EP called “Prospekt’s March” after they released “Viva la Vida or Death and All His Friends” and it’s 8 songs that didn’t make it to the album plus an alternate version of the Viva la Vida music video and a digital booklet.  It cost $5.99 but it was worth over $10 when I added all the songs up.  (Allie is so right that now iTunes charges $1.29 for “popular” songs!  What BS.  But that’s why I bought the whole album, hehe.)

I listened to “LeftRightLeftRightLeft” twice today, and now I’m really enjoying “Prospekt’s March”.  I love getting new music!!
