Q. Is Jonny Buckland Welsh? He doesn't look Welsh. But then I'm not sure who does.

 

 

The Oracle replies:

 

From The Moldy Peaches to Mold. Jonny was born in Mold, North Wales but he and his family moved away when he was very small.

back

 

 

 

WTF!!! I want accuracy Oracle!:veryangry: That's it! I'm sending in a question!

 

According to Wiki and everywhere else:

 

 

Buckland was born in London, England, and lived there until the age of four, when his family moved to Pantymwyn, North Wales. He was encouraged to enter the music scene by his elder brother, who was a big fan of My Bloody Valentine. Buckland started playing the guitar at the age of eleven, after being spurred on by The Stone Roses. Buckland attended Alun School in the Welsh town of Mold; moving on to study astronomy and mathematics at University College London, where he also met his future band mates and formed Coldplay.

And maybe bring dvds or downloads of old shows and tv appearances so we can feed the addiction!:D

 

 

 

 

.

Now, wait just a god-danged, cotton-pickin' minute...you mean to tell me that all our hard work, creativity and love of Oxfam could be over-shadowed by pervy questions about nipples and vaginas????

 

There is something VERY wrong with all of us...

 

Keep up the good work!!:laugh3:

...but I did drop a reminder note just in case they could find out about it.;)

 

(Hey, Ange, don't forget, your voice is on it...Jonny could hear your sexy drawl for himself!!!;))

Dear Oracle, why are Coldplay corrupting my mind with images of Nipples during Strawberry Swing.

:P

 

Ok, just copy/pasted my question submission. :)

Q. Dear Oracle, Are Colplay really fans of Depeche Mode or the optional video of Viva la Vida is just a parody of Enjoy the Silence?

 

 

 

The Oracle replies:

 

 

The band are indeed fans of Depeche Mode. It's not a parody though, more of an homage. The videos were both directed by Anton Corbijn. FYI: Coldplay's Tour manager Franksy, used to be TM to Depeche Mode.

Q. Why the heck does the All Saints video for "Never Ever" come up when I click on the Nov. 1 Philly date in the Duffy announcement? (which I'm super excited about!) It's driving me nuts because I can't figure it out! Either someone's craving an All Saints reunion and has hacked the site OR there is a secret meaning! Can you ease my mind and offer any insight?

 

 

 

The Oracle replies:

 

 

Well, if you notice 31st Oct clicks through to Marilyn Manson's This Is Halloween. As you know 31st Oct is Halloween but it appears you don't know that 1st Nov is All Saint's Day. You do now.

If the Oracle knows everything, how come they've got the bands name wrong?

but i am still waiting for replies.

 

it has been like 2 days since i submitted my question.

Q. What is the thing that Chris swings around in live performances of Fix You?

 

 

 

The Oracle replies:

 

 

It's just a light bulb. Chris had the idea of using a swinging light bulb for the Twisted Logic tour. It wasn't originally intended for Fix You but it took a few try outs to find the perfect song and moment.

he still hasnt answered any of mine yet :( they were quite silly i'll give him that :laugh3:

Q. At the End of Radiohead's music video for Just, what does the man on the pavement say to everyone, that causes them lie on the pavement?

 

 

 

The Oracle replies:

 

 

Jamie Thraves who directed Just also directed The Scientist & God Put a Smile Upon Your Face. Anyway, he and the band have always remained tight-lipped over that ending so it wouldn't be right if I told you now would it? Suggestions on a postcard...

i just asked mine again with a deiffernt e-mail..see if that works :laugh3:

nope.. i've tried that :P

well i might get lucky :P

oooh :sneaky:

I can't believe the one about the light bulb - that was either sent in by Mr Magoo or someone who doesn't own a television.

 

What a waste of a question! :angry:

he still hasnt answered any of mine yet :( they were quite silly i'll give him that :laugh3:
