Indie Rock, as defined by Beetlebrox, Zapphod, is: a mixture of blue, electric indigo*, electric violet, and Hooloovoo, a super-intelligent shade of the colour blue (see The More Than Complete Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy)

 

*electric indigo is the result of squeezing famous Phonecian Snails with 20,000 electron volts, preferably on the obverse side of a cathode ray tube. (carefully):book2::square:

Douglas Adams strikes again! :laugh3:

wtf? :freak:

:hat:

Must everything make perfect sense?:laugh3: Yea for Adams! Yea for Erin! (& nice poem!). Rick, doesn't this translate? Coldplay's into Doug Adams, so you gotta know some of this, right?

wtf? :freak:

Geek humor. Try not to think too hard or something might explode. :bomb: :laugh3:

Thanks, though the full poem is really sad. (J.R.R. Tolkien's "The Sea Bell" aka "Frodo's Dream")

 

I though it was more that Coldplay are into Radiohead who are into Adams. But Chris really is a bit of a scifi geek, so who knows. :lol:

Greek Humor you say.. Hmm.. :sultan::) Yes, but very entertaining! J.R.R. Tolkien's Hobbit, I do recall reading, but that was many moons ago. Still a beautiful poem, even if it holds a dark undercurrent.

I could be mistaken - but I thought I had read somewhere in the Intergalactic Encyclopedia, tho dated as it is and forever will be, and possibly on the internet as well, that Chris was into Douglas Adams' works. Radiohead too? Maybe in a parallel universe?:cool:

douglas adams is one of the greatest writers who ever lived. I think of him often, and always with a sad smile.

 

we miss you buddy:cry:

Well Radiohead had "Paraniod Android" long before Coldplay came up with "Don't Panic".

Weird dude.....

But that could have been any paranoid Android! Most of those models were rather unhappy, unlike what the ad showed. (someone playing beachball with a happy robot) and once you had one delivered, you couldn't return it - hence they had to keep Marvin!

True, Radiohead was there when Adams' Guide was first popular, but Martin's into Douglas Adams' work too, I think perhaps? Maybe I should ask him - anyone got his number?? Do you just dial zero, and then the country code?:)
