Dim lighting, stiff drinks, and a comfor.table "atmosphere are set behind a classic record store. Downtown Boise offers many bars where an array of concerts can be viewed, but the Neurolux is one of the ultimate night spots where a college student can easily afford an invigorating, chill experience, Between the eclectic, fashionable mix ofloyal patrons and the diverse acts, the Neurolux offers an easy- going bar where one can converse with friends and get down to some funky jams.

Chris Martincan make humility' an act ofhubris, and vice versa, He's as' cockyand as .insecure as rock stars come, a psychic balancing act reflected in his band Coldplay's crescendo/crash songs. ' For instance, during a recent in- terview, the handsome, Bono-voxed singer says that the four hours he recently spent in a Miami studio with hip-hop producer Timbaland provided a bracing reality check -even while he acknowledges his own superstar status. "I gleaned that it doesn't matter if you're inone of the biggest bands in the world," Martin sayson a mobile phone as his car makes its way out of New YorkCity,en route to a show in Ohio, "it doesn't mean you're very good." Then Martin concedes thisisno revelation: "But 1 glean that most days." Thanks to the nagging inescapa- bility of their hummably sad songs, and of course, to Martin's rnarriage to .Hollywood' A-lister Gwyneth Paltrow, no band in recent years has pierced the celebrity stratosphere as quickly as Coldplay. When their label EMI announced earlier this year that the British group's album "X&Y"would not come out in the first quarter as originally planned, the public company's stock took a dive. The quartet's june release was then greeted with the kind of fanfare few acts get for their third album.
