Q. Dear Oracle

 

Why haven't these Coldplay fans figured out that Guy is using the photos for album purposes... like either for inspiration or for use in the album booklet? The "can't be returned" and the "not pics of your families" are giveaways...

 

 

The Oracle replies:

 

Last mention of the subject - it clearly says Guy's looking for photos for a personal art project so there's no point trying to speculate about the album folks as this is totally unrelated.

Q. Hey almighty oracle!

 

Has the ash cloud had any bearing on the LP5 recording at all? I remember seeing some pictures of Chris in NYC the week before the volcano erupted and was wondering if he'd managed to get back?

 

Thanks!

 

Jason

 

 

The Oracle replies:

 

Nope not yet Jason but soon hopefully; we miss him!

 

Aaaaaw :wacky: I thought that was very sweet!

I said that in the thread about it, I knew it wouldn't have anything to do with the album :smug:

Q. Dear Oracle:

 

I was reading about the old photos hunting and I have a lot of my family and my city when it was a little town (around 1920 and 1930), but I have them scanned on my laptop. Can I e-mail you those or Guy needs the photos on paper?

 

 

The Oracle replies:

 

Just to let everyone know as there's been a few people sending questions in about this;

Anchorman has reported in detail that Guy's looking for original photographs - not copies - that cannot be returned.

The piece does also state that Guy does NOT want any family/personal photos.

Please only send in ones that fit the criteria.

Another thing I was asked is if it's only open to people from the UK; that's the beauty of having such a global network of fans, we're going to get some amazing photos from all around the world and that's very exciting.

We're not giving out any further details at this point though, so that will save me answering that one right now!

 

 

 

___________

No further details. :bomb:

:freak::wacky::dance: :bomb:!!!!!!! I'm dying to know!:dead:

And Tony lives on an uninhabited island! :lol:

Maybe he's a pirate!

:freak::wacky::dance: :bomb:!!!!!!! I'm dying to know!:dead:

 

Since he's into photography, maybe he'll use the pictures he receives and try to "recreate" them in some way, put the old and new pictures side-by-side...

 

Just a thought. Really I have no idea. We'll just have to wait and see.

We may never see... personal might mean he has no intention of making it public!

^ true

I was thinking a collage!! Which is what you're thinking too right?:thinking::lol:

I hope not!:( I would like to see the finished product:wacky:

Since the Oracle didn't want to give out any further details 'for now' - I think we'll get to see the finish product in some way :nice:

That's what I thought as well when she said it. I hope it means that!

LP5, anyone?

 

:D

no Oracle said its not^ :cry:

Sad face.

LIES! CLEVER LIES I TELL YOU!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

:P

Anna and I will eat everyones hat when you see in the end we are correct.... Muhaaaaaaa:lol:

ITS A TRICK!! I hope!

Hahahaha :lol: We sure will! :sneaky:

I severely doubt we'll ever see the end product of this personal project. Maybe when they say something about it not being a part of LP5 we should actually believe them? Is that too far-fetched?

Q. HI ORACLE,

I was in a video game/bookstore/random shop today and I bought a book called Coldplay: Look At The Stars. It's good so far, and the guy apparently met Chris and is associated with the music industry, so you'd think he'd be an expert, but the annoying thing is he always spells Will's name with one 'l' (Wil). Also he calls Politik, Politix. Everything else seems really accurate, but can you help me with all the errors and typos or something, Oracle! Plus, 'Will' is NOT a difficult name to spell! Really! Okay, THANK YOU!

 

 

The Oracle replies:

 

I can't help you with them because you already know that it's Will & Politik. I can tell you this though Emma, Phil O'Brien is a woman! She doesn't have any close association with the band and that possibly explains the errors.

She's not the only one though; Martin Roach (Nobody Said It Was easy) got Chris's birthday wrong and even our own Matt (sorry Matt!) makes a mistake in Roadie (out soon) saying that the band played in Aberdeen on the first night of the A Rush Of Blood To The Head warm-up shows when it was in fact Edinburgh.

Q. I am DYING to know, dearest Oracle, who the Table Tennis Champ of the Latin American Tour is?? Natasha or Chris (or was there a random underdog who blew them both out of the water)?? While I love Chris to pieces I'm a bit competitive myself so I'm pulling for the girl power and hope Natasha ran the tables :-)

 

MUCHOS GRACIAS to the boys and crew for a killer finale in Monterrey - glad to know we were the loudest!

 

 

The Oracle replies:

 

The table tennis table saw many competitors come and go including Chris, Will, Phil, Chris's Dad & sister (the Martins are VERY competitive); Kelly (security), Dan (trainer), Dan (sound), Natasha, Charlotte (Bat for Lashes) and even I had a go.

Chris likes to play to relax him before a show but don't be fooled into thinking he's not playing to win and win he did - over and over. Natasha was pretty good (as was Charlotte) but she didn't beat Chris. Don't get me wrong he got whipped a few times but overall Chris played the most and therefore is the tour ping-pong champion.
