Talk, Pt. 1

The First Single of a Three Part Single Set. "Talk" is One of the Stand Out Tracks on Coldplay's Multi-platinum Third Album, "x&y", Q Magazine's #1 Album of the Year 2005. The Title Track's Melody is Built from Portion of Kraftwerk's "Computer Love" and it is Coupled with Two Exclusive Songs Recorded at the Band's 2005 Appearance at the Gelredome in Arnhem, Nederlands: "Swallowed in the Sea" and "God Put a Smile on Your Face".
Customer Review: Um...
Well, I came in here to talk GOOD about Talk because it's a very solid track. However, then after clicking on the "Talk Pt. 1" cover art, I saw Swallowed By The Sea which is my second least favorite track and went, "Ugh." Finally, I saw God Put A Smile On Your Face and thought, "Meh." It was OK, but nothing great. Still better than SBTS though. So, *Sigh*, here goes: Talk --- 4 stars. Swallowed By The Sea --- 3 stars. Something about it irks at my deepest chord. God Put A Smile Upon Your Face --- 3.5 stars. Cover Art: C- (It looks sloppy, lop-sided and tacked on and tacky compared to the odd, yet appropriate U.S. album cover art.) Inside Art: ? Songwriting: C+ Vocals: C+ Vocal Emotion: B+ Vocal Acrobatics: F+ Length: A 10.5/3 = 3.5 3.5 stars. Overall: C
Customer Review: Disc 1 of a 3-disc set, also includes the 3-disc packaging
Talk, Pt. 1, an import from Holland on the Parlophone label, includes the first of three CD singles and a nice tri-fold digipak where you can put Talk, Pt. 2 and Talk, Pt. 3. As others have said, this is the first disc only. Getting the remaining discs depends largely on your desire to be a completionist, or for your interest in live tracks. The breakdown of the three discs is as follows: Part 1: (Amazon AISN B000CNGG9Y) 1. Talk (Radio Edit) 2. Swallowed in the Sea (Live in Holland) 3. God Put A Smile Upon You Face (Live in Holland) Part 2: (Amazon AISN B000CNGGA8) 1. Talk (Album Version) 2. Square One (Live in Holland) 3. Clocks (Live in Holland) Part 3: (Amazon AISN B000CNGGAI) 1. Talk (Live in Holland) 2. Til Kingdom Come (Live in Holland) 3. Fix You (Live in Holland) Part 1 only warrants a three-star rating from me because it includes the Radio Edit of Talk. But the live tracks are good. Part 2 goes up to four stars because it includes the album version of Talk, and an excellent live rendition of Square One from X&Y. Part 3 also warrants four stars for the live tracks from X&Y, great performances all. Note that these discs have WMA copy protection. If you would like to extract tracks for your MP3 player or iPod, you will need to use a Mac to do so. By the way, parts 2 and 3 come in shrinkwrapped sleeves. This is one more reason to get part 1 and the nice tri-fold digipak.


The Kentucky Derby is a pretty big deal, so much so that lots of people host their own Kentucky derby party. You can work to make your party a little original this year with some Mardi Gras flair to it. Guest will love the great food, loud music, colorful decorations and if you have the room and inclination the parade! Of course this is still a Kentucky Derby party so youll have plenty of horse and racing related decorations and you cant forget to give the guests their classic mint juleps for the party.

Make sure the guests know that the party is going to have a Mardi Gras theme to it in the invitations you send. You can pick up some invitations with a Kentucky derby or horseracing theme and punch them up a bit by adding some colorful glitter. Carefully outline the picture with a thin bead of glue and sprinkle the glitter on it. Wait for it to dry, shake off the excess glitter and send in the mail.

You can pick up some fun masks to hand out to the guests when they arrive to the Kentucky derby party. There are some fun horseracing wall hangings you can plaster to the walls and get lots of balloons in the Mardi Gras colors with an emphasis on green since it matches the grass of the racing grounds.

Take advantage of some excellent Creole recipes when thinking up appetizers for this party. Bourbon Chicken is a tasty dish that can be made for easy pick up by the guests with the addition of toothpicks. Red rice and beans is another traditional dish and its ingredients are cheap so you save a little money to get goodies for a big ole pot of jambalaya. The guests can dance to some music, share beads, eat good food and finally sit back to watch the races.
