Coldplay

From The New Yorker's music critic Sasha Frere-Jones
(dated Nov. 18, 2008. I'm so current):

Earliest Christmas Ever

"As if Obama winning wasn’t enough good news, Coldplay have announced that they are breaking up next year. Chris Martin says that they will “go for it in every sense” until they disband, though, and I fear this going for it will involve another Coldplay album. As a result, my own going for it is going to be severely curtailed. Trips into the outside world will be planned carefully, so that I avoid retail outlets likely to play “The Last Whinge” or “Coconut Diaper” or whatever it ends up being called. This means I will be eating at Mars 2112."

Highly recommend Frere-Jones's personal blog.
