Coldplay's "Okkey rules"

OKKEY RULES

1. ALBUMS MUST BE NO LONGER THAN 42 MINUTES, OR 9 TRACKS.
2. PRODUCTION MUST BE AMAZING, RICH, BUT WITH SPACE, NOT OVERLAYERED. LESS TRACKS, MORE QUALITY, GROOVE AND SWING. Drums/rhythm are the most crucial thing to concentrate on; diff. between bittersweet and science of silence.
3. COMPUTERS ARE INSTRUMENTS, NOT RECORDING AIDS.
4. IMAGERY MUST BE CLASSIC, COLOURFUL AND DIFFERENT. COME BACK IN GLORIOUS TECHNICOLOUR.
5. MAKE SURE VIDEOS AND PICTURES ARE GREAT BEFORE SETTING RELEASE DATE. And highly original.
6. ALWAYS KEEP MYSTERY. Not many interviews.
7. GROOVE AND SWING. RHYTHMS AND SOUNDS MUST ALWAYS BE ORIGINAL AS POSSIBLE. Once jon has melody, twist it and weird it some.
8. Promo/review copies to be on VINYL. Stops copying problem, sounds are better.
9. Jaqueline sabriado, ns p c c, face forward.
10. Think about what to do with charity account. Set up something small but really enabling and constructive. Ref; j olivier fifteen
