How'd Ya Like THEM Apples?

Yet another gem from Coldplay. They've treated us to some of the most visually stunning and thought provoking music videos in the alternative genre (Trouble, The Scientist, Talk.) And some that would be classified, as Graham Greene would say, "entertainments." (The Hardest Part) This time it features elements of both. For your viewing pleasure, an alternate take of Violet Hill featuring the world's leaders and some of their friends. The synch is awesome. The shot of Castro landing on his face...priceless.



Also, click here for the VH1-approved version.

Enjoy yourselves.

I like them apples very much, thank you.

Great song with 2 great videos.

Did I mention I got the Coldplay single that came with NME? Yeah, the last one at Barnes & Noble. Pretty stoked.

As Napolean Dynamite would say: "Lucky!"

Personally I boycott BN because I don't feel they should charge 30 bucks for a DVD that costs 7.50 at Wally's. It's like they think we don't know any better.

Yeah, but when it's the only outlet for NME and I want a Coldplay single, that is the destination!

I much prefer the local book stores, of which there are a couple in close proximity to B&N, but the don't have NME, so...

Eh, that sucks. What SLC needs is something similar to a Rasputin Records chain, or Amoeba Music.
