Coldplay to give away live album as MP3s
They're not the first band to do it, but Coldplay is the most recent addition to the ever-growing list of artists willing to give a little back to their fans.At every remaining show in their 2009 tour, the band will give away a 9-song CD including tracks recorded during the band's worldwide Viva la Vida tour. Starting May 15th, the album will also be made available for download.
The album is titled Left Right Left Right Left and the track list includes Clocks, Viva La Vida, Fix You, and a half dozen others.
Coldplay calls the release "a recession-busting mark of gratitude to everyone who's supported [us]."

So, just how good at time waster games are you? Think you've got the stuff? Well, The World's Hardest Game 2.0 doesn't think you do.
Yes, amazingly, it's possible to have a sequel to a game called "The World's Hardest Game". It doesn't seem logically possible, since if the first one was actually the world's hardest, how could another one come along and share the moniker? It made me doubt the name in the first place.

The mechanics of the game are very simple. You are a small red square, ...

Any idea whose album they'll give away?
If it's by someone worthwhile it might make up for having to go to the gig just because your girlfriend wants to go.
Think about it - they've pretty much signalled that themselves by excluding the festival gigs. After all, since there'll be other bands on they know there's a fair bet you'll get to see someone decent, so they don't need to buy you a CD to make up for having to hang around during the Coldplay bit. (In the UK you can call The Samaritans on 08457 90 90 90.)
Well, at least we should give them credit for apologising.
(Oh, and don't worry... they'll make it back in the merchandising.)
