Q. Is Chasing Butterflies a Coldplay song? It sounds like it is.

 

The Oracle replies:

 

Ah you mean the music on the advert for CSL. The verse sounds very like Speed Of Sound so I can see why you ask that. It's not a Coldplay song; it's by an artist named Steph. It's soon to be released as a single.

Q. Ok, so you are walking down the street when you find 50 dollars just laying on the sidewalk. Nobody else is around. What would you do, Oracle, and what do you think the members of Coldplay would do?

A:Take it and spend it, baby!

B:Take it and save it for a rainy day.

C:Take it to the police station to see if anyone reported losing 50 dollars.

D:Take it and donate it to a charity or shelter. They need the money most!

 

Thanks, XOXO, Emily

 

 

The Oracle replies:

 

I'd like to say D but I think I'd have another step in there before I got to that. I'm taking my lead from both The Simpsons and Family Guy who have featured a similar moral dilemma.

I'd put up notices with my contact details to give someone the chance to come forward and claim it. Obviously I wouldn't say how much I'd found, as it'd be hard to prove the rightful owner. If nobody came for it, then I'd donate it to charity.

The way I see it, it's not mine. I'd expect bad karma if I didn't attempt to return it. I'd have sleepless nights thinking of someone going without fuel, be it to heat their home or motor their car.

Can't imagine the band would keep it either.

It's funny though because if it were only $1, I'd pop it straight into a collection box.

Q. Dear Oracle, I just saw photos from BBC radio 2 Coldplay show, and I want to ask one question : did Chris really cut his hair?

Well it's not trick photography my friend!

Q. Chris recently said that two of the Coldplays did not like the hardest part and other 2 who like it.

Who are those who like it?

 

 

The Oracle replies:

 

You refer to last Saturday (30th August) when the band played a gig at the BBC theatre. Chris remarked that only of them liked the song. As he and Will started he turned around to Guy & Jonny who weren't participating and gestured that it was obvious which 2 didn't.

However, I know die-hard fans may be confused as Chris has commented in the past that The Hardest Part was a terrible song, good video.

Unfortunately Ana as you're from outside the U.K you won't be able to watch footage from the show, but you can read about it and see photos on the Radio 2 website.

Takes one to know one. :P

Well, girls, the Oracle tried to politely make fun of the questionner, at least.

 

Oracle can't afford to be rude, yet is allowed to point out sillyness.

 

I'd say she's not been too bad on this one :nice:

I'm quite surprised that Guy doesn't like the song since he was the most excited dancer in the official THP video!

^maybe he's just sick of it for a while... maybe he didn't remeber the chords.... maybe jonny and guy were playing games with chris...

Oh I'm quite happy to know that Jonny and Guy don't like "The Hardest Part".

but what does guy's happy dance on thp's video mean? :dance:

Bet you won't either <bg> But hey, it's all part of the fun, keeping folks guessing.

 

Coldplay and those affiliated with the band ought to know that nothing escapes the bunch here at Coldplaying.

Q. Can you think of a name for my anatomy group from college? The name must be related with human anatomy. We really need to find a name so please Oracle, think! You're our last hope, we can't think of anything original enough. We need you, please help us!!

 

 

The Oracle replies:

 

How about The Flying Trapeziums?

BTW "NO ME LLORES" means "Don't cry for me"

Q. Just wondering-- Roadie #42 has some great pictures in some awkward lighting situations which most cameras wouldn't be able to capture quite as well-- What type of camera does Roadie #42 use?

 

 

The Oracle replies:

 

Roadie #42 uses a Canon 20D with L series lenses. Also Ricoh compacts and to complete the effects, Abode Lightroom & Photoshop CS3.

For those of us with standard digital cameras, may I suggest the following for live shots? Turn to manual setting, disable the flash (auto or otherwise) and select he highest ISO number e.g. 1600. Keep a steady hand and they should definitely turn out pretty well.

so matt's writing a book about being a coldplay roadie???

 

this should be good :sneaky:

^you didn't know that?

it was in the news section at coldplay.com and they gave a preview... quite amuzing check it out!
