Jason Chen:

“It could go terribly wrong, but fuck it.”

Jason Chen:

“This is a new song, I’ve been working on it, it’s called COldplay 2.6. It has a lot of new features. It features 7 different kinds of chord. Even a new one that our closest rivals have no idea about. Which Jonathan Ive designed. It’s the chord of i-minor. I’m just making this up! This is a song called WEdding Bells. This might be the only time it ever appears.”

Jason Chen:

Martin is wandering around on stage and he’s not sure what to do. “Is Steve around to tell me what to do.” Jobs: “Keep going!” Martin: “I’m afraid I’ve played all the hits.”

Jason Chen:

It might still cough up iTunes 9.2.1 until they update the internal link though.

Jason Chen:

And here’s the iTunes 10 download.

Jason Chen:

One was “Chris Martin” and one was one of the other guys who nobody knows the name of.

Jason Chen:

Chris is a story about how Apple turned a song that their label said is not a hit song into a hit song. “Which proves that your marketing people can sell anything.”

Jason Chen:

If you check Craigslist you can see someone trying to trade Coldplay seats right now for a new iPad.

Joel Johnson:

Jason Chen:

He’s playing Yellow now. Jobs probably asked him to make up songs called Red, Green, and the rest of the colors of the new iPods.

Jason Chen:

Chris Martin is the new John Mayer.

Jason Chen:

“I’ll just play one song, and if you feel like another one, I’ll play another one, and then keep going until you feel like lunch.”

Jason Chen:

Chris Martin: “I don’t have any new products to reveal. I wish the rest of the band were here, but they were too lazy.”

Jason Chen:

(Way better than Jack Johnson if you ask me.)
