Now We Can <i>See</i> What A Bad Idea “Kanye + Coldplay” Is

I’m disappointed that the last two singles from Kanye West’s Graduation have been from the final (and weakest) third of the album (sorry, the “paparazzi/Nazi” line kills “Flashing Lights” for me). At least we got “Homecoming”‘s stroll through Chicago, complete with static shots of Common, rather than a visual representation of that giant smooch on Jay-Z’s ass Kanye called “Big Brother” (also known as “P.S. We Should Be Together Too”).

But it’s hard to look at the bright side when it includes a dancing silhouette of Chris Martin, a visual disturbingly reminiscent of the shadow dancing in Midnight Oil’s “Beds Are Burning.”

Michael Stipe, please never do something like this. Please.
