bonita - so what concerts u going to? i know cat empire (i wanted to go to that!) and coldplay...

 

i wanna go to bdo, but i heard it was sold out. the rumors probably false tho...

im going to the cat empire, foo fighters/kaiser chiefs, franz ferdinand, and coldplay the first 2 nights. :blush:

 

i'm dying to go to bdo but like i've used all my parents money on those concerts listed above lol :lol:

that really is alot. i have a friend that went to 3 cat empire shows in 3 days... cuz he won tickets twice. lucky him.

What do they do if you ring up and tell them you didnt get your tickets?

What if they sent it to the wrong address? :embarrased:

mine came today, dont worry. it said on the envelpoe that they were sent from melboourne! they are just being annoying and taking their merry time...

Why is everyone so rich! I can only afford Coldplay & Green Day...Saving up for U2's announcement though!

that really is alot. i have a friend that went to 3 cat empire shows in 3 days... cuz he won tickets twice. lucky him.

 

when i went to see them at the beggining of this year i was so damn amazed that i was considering buying tickets for the show 2 nights after, but mum wouldn't let me :cry:

 

:lol:

 

but since they're coming out again for this month mum siad yes since the last time was half a year back. :)

 

and chenny, it's called being unemployed and scabbing of your parents. ;)

yeah, unemployed. but my dad would rather me 'study' then work, so if he wants to give me money i wont say no :P

precisely. :idea2:

lol i have to pay for my own crap most of the time cuz i got a job... i want a new one... but where?

 

hmm still owe dad the 127 for coldies tickets

yay i finally got my fix you single today! i entered the sunday tele for it over a month ago! anyone else did this??

yeah my friend entered and so did her brother for the fun of it and i didnt get it so she gave me one :cool:

^ nice. so wat other singles have u got of them? i havent got any cuz i usually dont buy singles, but i wish i had now cuz of the b-sides...

i was gonna buy fix you but i never once it in the store :/

anyone else notice this?, because i didnt even see it on the charts. except as a prediction on video hits.

I think it got to #9 on the charts.

really?, i never saw it, it was predicted to get #9 on video hits though.

^ nice. so wat other singles have u got of them? i havent got any cuz i usually dont buy singles' date=' but i wish i had now cuz of the b-sides...[/quote']

 

i don't buy singles either so i only started for this album, so unfortunately i've only got sos and fix you. :cry:

The highest Fix You got to was 25. Not bad, but it isn't great either.

 

I think Coldplay is a lot like U2 in that, unless there's something that's really radio friendly (e.g. clocks), single sales will always be relatively poor. That comes with the territory - as a band, generally fans like them for their albums. For people who are into pop music and follow the charts and radio, they generally have less band loyalty and thus rely more on the quality of the song itself. With bands, it's more about the entire body of work, specifically the quality of the album. A band like Coldplay generally doesn't have a million people rushing out to buy the single, as generally fans will already have the album (in a market like Australia at least). Why buy the cow when you can get the milk for free? (lol I'm not sure if that even fits this situation but close enough :))

 

Having said that, the singles seem to do pretty well on the UK charts and a couple of other markets. I just don't think that there's a large enough market here for singles, and with digital music stores like Itunes and Ninemsn music becoming more popular, I think the days of singles are numbered.

 

I suppose Coldplay don't make money from singles anyway and probably don't worry about it - they make money from album sales and touring (I know they obviously make some money, but nothing in comparison to the other profits).

 

Lol anyways enoug blabbering... all I'll say is that I love the song. What i find funny is the number of people I know who pay out Chris Martin's high voice - especially in this song as he spends most of the song in either his upper register or in falsetto. I think one of the DJs on radio said it best "I used to be able to sing like that... when i was 10" ;)

^ lol i bet he's just jealous!

haha, they wrote like 300 words, you write 6 and you win.

lol score! but i was talking about the DJ... :inquisitive:

ahh shallumstuart... just so you know, I wasn't criticising Chris Martin's voice... i love it... and I didn't think that this message board was about competition anyway :confused:

 

and by the way, I do find the use of the word "they" somewhat offensive when used in that tone... to me that implies exclusion and creates an "us" and "them" situation... i know you're a close knit community on here but just because I don't have many posts doesn't mean my opinion is any less valid than anybody elses

 

No offence is meant by this post by the way... just saying how i feel

i think callum was just kidding ;)

 

we welcome you here with opennnnn arms *holds out arms* :kiss:

 

:) :cool:

Maybe you're right bonnie come to think of it... don't i have egg on my face then? lol

 

Sorry Callum for that post and for interpretting it wrong... I'm probably just a bit oversensitive and this exam stress is probably just getting to me just a tad. Now that i read it again i feel like the biggest idiot. SORRY!!!

 

No hard feelings ay? :)

 

And thanks bonnie for the warm welcome :)

its alright

i only used they cuz i didnt know if you were a boy or girl, and ive made that mistake before...
