Not as good as David Bowie’s cameo, not as desperate as a sit-in with Jay-Z. Still, we applaud Mr. Paltrow’s self-deprecation in this clip from “Extras.” He breaks into “Fix You” at 3:18. Do with that information what you will.

Is it just us or is he always just on the verge of missing every note of falsetto?

Grammys 2012: Foo Fighters, Coldplay keep things predictable
Jack Black introduced Foo Fighters, talking up the band's cred, but apparently Black was in comedian mode tonight, as the CBS show "The Mentalist" could devote an entire season to looking for Foo Fighters' street cred and never find it.
New Video: Coldplay, 'Charlie Brown'
When we think Coldplay videos, we think melodramatic slow-motion visuals (see: "Fix You") that ache with so much emotion you want to rethink every decision you've ever made in your life. But their latest, "Charlie Brown," ditches sad ...

    btw. extras airs on thursdays on the bbc, and are usually on torrent sites by saturday. this season is already 4 episodes in and is REALLY, REALLY good. seek it out.

    i did a lot of things with the information.

  3. On an unrelated note, I really like his white coat.

  4. “Gwyneth’s making drumsticks” is the new “Baby Fish Mouth.”

    hey whoever does mash ups: i bet “fix you” would mash well with “where is my mind”.

  6. is it on HBO yet? (I’m guessing not.)

  7. Baby Fish Mouth can never be topped!

    Not unlike “in the aeroplan over the sea”!

  8. it’s a shame chris wasn’t self-depracating about his unbelievable lack of talent and originality. he can’t sing and he just writes the same annoying song over and over and over again. but i did enjoy the drumsticks line…

  10. it wasn’t as good as david bowie’s cameo. I kept singing “Fatty fatso wants to blow his head off!” all day. Chris Martin really sucked. he was too over the top. too contrived, like “hey let me try the ricky gervais formula of being a complete ass so I can come off as taking the piss out of myself so it translates to being actually self deprecating so people will be confused so I can be a total prick dickhead in real life and people will think it’s just a character”

    Also, if you listen carefully you’ll notice that Chris Martin sings the Extras end song (“Tea For the Tillerman” by Cat Stevens)

    Noel does win.

    “she’s dead”

    “NO she’s no DEAD”

    HAHA! YEAH, i think it’s awesome to hate Coldplay too! You guys are great. When bands get big it totally sucks and they suck, no matter what! We should try to figure out who it’s going to be cool to hate now so we can be even cooler!

  14. no dude. coldplay has always sucked. just like hipsters. people dont hate coldplay to be cool, at least i hope not.

    noel gallagher > everybody

    extras season 2 not hitting the spot like the first season did. its a nice warm up act for ‘that mitchell and webb look’ (U.S network c.e.o’s take note-)

    Love Chris Martin’s great sense of humor and am still completely lovin’ Coldplay! There, I said it. No really, THERE!

    it’s a shame people like krup spend time reading music blogs to keep up with music and yet still don’t know shit about good music

  18. Lawrence A.  |   Posted on Oct 11th, 2006

    Johnny Greenwood reads Stereogum… awesome.

  19. Is this like a let’s post shitty stuff to bitch about site? It seems like every post I go into, there are about a dozen comments saying how much the subject sucks. Do you guys have nothing better to do than criticize?

    BTW, I don’t think Coldplay is shitty. I’ve seen them twice. But many of you think they’re shitty. Thus, the use of the term shitty.

    KRUP obviously knows SHIT about good music. and Chris martin has a great sense of humor….

    honestly, I HATE WHEN PEOPLE HATE MAINSTREAM, JUST BECAUSE IT’S MAINSTEAM.

    Actually more of a question than a comment. I’m trying to finish a crossword and I need to know the name of the song Chris Martin sang during the Extras episode he was in. Not the closing song. I’ve never seen the episode and I can’t find the answer anywhere. The second word is you.
