Pitchfork

Chris Martin of Coldplay writes-- seriously, longhand-- on his band's webpage that a new version of "Lost!", from Coldplay's recent Viva La Vida LP, is due in the coming weeks, featuring a guest appearance from their pal Jay-Z. [Via Stereogum]

The track, titled "Lost +", will appear on a new four-song digital "Lost!" EP, due November 10 the world over on Parlophone/Capitol. Let's just hope this goes a little better than "Beach Chair".

And then there's Prospekt's March, an EP featuring recently finished tunes from the Viva la Vida sessions that Martin notes "might be considered too catchy or too heavy for Coldplay songs but in our minds... complete the Viva La Vida picture." The EP will be issued digitally, physically, and in a special edition of Viva La Vida. It will sport the Jigga-assisted "Lost +", and you can get a small taste of the tune "Glass of Water" via this live performance video clip. Prospekt's March is due in November.

When these two musical juggernauts found the time for a meet-and-greet is unclear; Coldplay's been pushing Viva la Vida hard through the summer, and Jay's been starting a new label, working up The Blueprint III and rocking shows for Barack Obama. Both have dates on the way.
