Coldplay must have the BEST marketing team ever. In addition to their overly pretentious iTunes commercial, they performed on the Daily Show this week, and right now they are playing on the Today show. What's next, Martha Stewart? Surely she would appreciate the ostensibly homemade jacket Chris Martin has been wearing for every performance. What, Gwyneth can't help you pick out some different outfits? Or do those colored armbands make your songs sound better?
At any rate, my mother in law purchased their song Viva la Vida on iTunes this week, so if that doesn't prove that their marketing strategy has been a success, I don't know what does.

- I am a lover of nature and a science geek. I am an excellent procrastinator, always have been, probably always will be. I consistently fluctuate between laziness and obsessive-compulsiveness. I like caring for plants and animals, including my husband. I like circus peanuts, and I am secretly a fan of Martha Stewart. I have expensive taste in shoes, but you're more likely to find me wearing cheap flip flops. I love bugs. I guess I should also mention that I'm now a mom, so excuse me for posting about that too.

I saw them on the Daily Show, and wondered the whole time, "Why are they so popular?!?"
It mystifies me. Chris Martin and Gwyneth are the most nauseatingly self-important couple around. I like some of their songs but I think they are wildly overrated.
