Coldplay: Violet Hill

Viva La Viva - ColdplayColdplay released their newest single, Violet Hill, for free on their website (coldplay.com) yesterday.
The track is ok and I am sure the free download was inspired by Radiohead who allowed anyone to download the album and pay whatever price they wanted for it (or not pay for it at all).

Of course, Coldplay is still signed to a recording label (Radiohead isn’t), so Coldplay’s free download is a marketing gimmick by the record company and Radiohead’s free download can be attributed to their appreciation of their art more than their paycheck from record sales.
