Default Coldplay's "End of Decade Clearout Sale"

Quote:
Over the past ten years we've accumulated a lot of guitars, keyboards, amps, posters, platinum discs and all sorts of nostalgia. From December 17 until December 31, we're going to auction them on eBay.

All items will either be signed by the four of us, or accompanied by a certificate of authenticity, again signed by all of us.

All proceeds will go to Kids Company, an incredible charity that helps vulnerable children and young people in London.

(How awesome is that?)

pft. They are totally just copying NIN. Trent just did the same thing last month. But that isn't new for Coldplay...


I'm kidding, settle down people.


I wish more artists would do stuff like this. Doesn't really help me though even the lamest stuff goes for huge dollars on ebay.

Good on them. Some new music would be great too...

This decade can take that lame-ass 'You know how I know you're gay?' joke too.

It is funny you say that because half the stuff that NIN has in their ebay auctions is stuff that I wouldn't know what it was even if I won the auction.

There are a pretty large number of conventional things like guitars, keyboards etc but seriously WTF is this thing? Or this? or this? or this? I'm certainly no musical expert so maybe that stuff is simpler than I think but other than the main stuff I have no idea WTF half that stuff is.

Dude.. you don't know what a head is?

It's an amplifier without a speaker. Just the amplification and clean/distortion/effects stage.

Clearly I don't. There was way more crazy shiznat last week but most of the autions have ended so I just picked a few that I saw that are left.
