Talk:Talk (Coldplay song)/Archive 1

Untitled
How much do you wanna bet the album art will be yellow, mimicking Computer World by Kraftwerk.
 * According to the Coldplay message board's Radio 1 confirmed a December 19 release date, and the cover is going to be orange.
 * :|... damn. I was close though.

Computer Love + Kraftwerk
Are there any references to Kraftwerk in the music video? I've heard somehwere that the Computer Love video is similar in concept to Talk, but I've never seen any of KW's vids. --Madchester 23:00, 11 December 2005 (UTC)


 * If you have broadband I can send you a copy of their video to "Radioactivity", which is fairly representative quercus robur 19:22, 14 April 2006 (UTC)

#1
It should be worked in somewhere...I don't know how for this article, but it is now the #1 single on the Canadian airplay charts. Mike H. That's hot 22:28, 2 February 2006 (UTC)


 * I'm always suspicious of the Canadian charts, cuz they're rather misleading. It's like how a single can place at the top of the Canadian Singles Chart with only 50 units sold for that week. --Madchester 00:48, 3 February 2006 (UTC)


 * Ever since early 2004, the Canadian Singles Chart has become dysfunctional as a result of the significance of digital downloads in the United States. Since the markets are so close together, record labels assume the Canadian charts operate the same way, which is not the case. Prior to 2004, the chart worked perfectly fine. Since then, it has not. "Talk" peaked at number one on the Canadian BDS Airplay Chart and at number four on the Canadian Singles Chart. &mdash;Eternal Equinox | talk 01:21, 9 February 2006 (UTC)

The lead section
...should be an overview/summary of the article. Please reduce the lead in size and move the excess detail into a new section. As well as satisfying WP:LEAD it will look better as the TOC (table of contents) will appear higher up the page. --kingboyk 14:24, 22 June 2006 (UTC)

Make Trade Fair message
The message Make Trade Fair was in X&Y code as the robot's controls in black and white

Erm, no it isn't. I've studied it pretty thoroughly and there is no visible sign of MTF on the robot's controls. Can we have some validation? --sebrat 11:39, 6 August 2006

''A coded message for Make Trade Fair, one of the band's chief charitable causes, is supposedly hidden to robot's control button scheme, in the X&Y code. ''

Someone edited the original sentence, but it still doesn't make any sense. Since this was added by an anonymous person back in 2006 and a source hasn't been provided I think it's about time to delete it. (which I just did) - Akadewboy (talk) 20:35, 18 September 2008 (UTC)

If you put 3D glasses on does the video look 3D?
I found a high quality download of this music video and noticed that during the whole song there was faint Anaglyph image outlines. I'm wondering if you put some 3D glasses on does it look 3D? Has anyone tried it? Here's a screenshot of the most obvious part: http://s21.photobucket.com/albums/b278/akadewboy/?action=view&current=ColdplayTalk3d.jpg - Akadewboy (talk) 19:11, 18 September 2008 (UTC)
