Chris Martin would love for Coldplay to be one of those maverick bands revolutionizing the world of music through independent online retail and eliminating the time between the creation of an album and it's release, but he feels faithful to EMI, much as you would to an elderly grandparent.

Don't pretend the major label connection is the only reason you can't come up anything more novel than free concerts and recording in a church with Brian Eno.
