nooooes :bigcry: I actually love Speed of Sound

Will's twins were born right before Viva was released, but after the cover went to print. I think all the kid's initials are on the Christmas Lights cover, though.

 

They are? :freak: I don't see anything . . .

Not on the cover but on the announcement

 

I like Speed Of Sound quite a bit. The Scientist is my least favorite, followed by Yellow. :shrug:

Thanks. I knew I'd seen it somewhere. :)

Q. Hi ! Is there any chance the band might play a sneaky show anywhere in Brisbane before their Splendour in the Grass appearance on Sunday ?

 

The Oracle replies:

 

Not a chance at all. Honestly, they're barely in Aus long enough to play the show! Well, that's an exaggeration but it's a very short visit indeed.

Q. Q. Hi Oracle!!

 

How did you feel about the notice of Amy's dead?! I was shocked like WHAT??!! I mean I wasn't a BIG fan of her but I don't know ...I feel sorry for her, because she had everything, but again drugs take control.

Anyway!! Saludos desde Mexico Querido Oracle.

 

The Oracle replies:

I was a huge fan of Amy's since her first album was released and have to admit to feeling deeply saddened by the news. We shall see what the post mortem results show; whether drugs were involved directly or not remains to be seen. Sadly they will have had some effect on her body over the extensive period of abuse. The same can be said of alcohol and smoking. I have to say that if the drug results prove negative, I still believe her addictions killed her; smoking, drinking and maybe even love.

The MX question is interesting..

 

Not a song ?

She was probably just up late and decided to get it out of the way.

I had that same thought and don't albums usually get announced and released on Tuesdays?

Released, announcements can happen anytime.

 

And why does she want to keep secrecy of the wives/children letters thing? Why is that a big deal?

In the U.S. they do. Pretty much everywhere else it's Monday. So I'd say no on what you're thinking (unfortunately).

Released, announcements can happen anytime.

Who knows hope to see something in the morning though! That would be a gift from above. :angel:

One guess. Something to do with ether LP5's track listing or the title... MAYBE THE LETTERS ARE TUE TRACKLIST!!!!!!

No, I made up 3 of those anyway. :D

Ahhh you hurt my intelligence readings :bigcry: :laugh3: but...if the album starts with 2 MMs and there's 2 of them there...it must be the letters REARRAIGNED!!

I dont think they knew the LP5 tracklist when Viva came out.

Maybe they got he idea after :P I don't know I'm just tossing out possible ideas

Q. Hey Oracle! Hope you're well. I love the globe-trotting pic that #42 included in the recent blog (#138). Would you know if it was his own fair hand that created it?

Thank you xxx

 

 

The Oracle replies:

 

The original picture was from the plane seat's screen but Mister #42 sprinkled some #42 magic and created the image we see on his blog. Didn't you feel tired just reading it?

Q. Dear Oracle,

 

I saw on the latest #42 blog that Coldplay are coming to Sydney after Brisbane. Are they playing a show/ doing an interview? What is the reason for the visit?

 

 

The Oracle replies:

 

They fly to Australia Saturday, perform on Sunday and have press on Monday before leaving for L.A on Tuesday. I can only deduce therefore that promo will be taking place in Sydney.
