Coldplay play secret Amsterdam gig to road test new album

Coldplay played a low-key Amsterdam show on Wednesday, premiering songs from X&Y, with the album artwork reportedly resembling the computer game Tetris.

Given that we're in pre-election period, we here at CMU need to maintain an unbiased stance, so following on from a positive

Oasis story, we need to do a Coldplay big up. Christ Martin et al were on top form this week when they played a secret gig in Europe. The band are road testing the new album with a series of low-key dates and appeared on Wednesday in Amsterdam, premiering some songs from new album 'X&Y'.

It also transpires that the album's artwork resembles 1990s computer game 'Tetris', which can only be a good thing. Hurrah.
