New Coldplay Song on 'The OC'

Who needs the radio when you've got The OC? Quickly becoming one of the best ways on TV for unknown artists to get their names out, and for established artists to improve their profiles, the Fox television series recently landed the privilege of premiering a track from Coldplay's upcoming third studio album, X&Y.

The song in question is "Fix You," which the majority of the world's population hasn't yet had a chance to hear (legally), with the possible exception of those who miraculously scored tickets to tonight's "buzz gig" at Toronto's Kool Haus. According to Coldplay's website (www.coldplay.com), the ballad is one of the band's favourites from their new disc.

It's this week's episode, airing on Thursday, May 12th, that will hold "Fix You" within its 60 minutes of drama, drama, drama. No stranger to debuting major artists' new material, The OC played the Beastie Boys' "Ch-Check It Out" before anyone else, and recently aired the "Beckisode," which featured five songs from Beck's not-then-released Guero album.
