Q. In the Glastonbury headlining what was the word that Chris whispered before the band ended their Lost! performance?

 

 

The Oracle replies:

 

It's official, the Oracle does not know everything. I do not know what Chris whispered. Anyone?

  • I can't give you the reasonings on why things changed, but I can give you an update from what I observed. The Oracle was run by Debs Wild. Debs is still with the band and helps out fans, for exam

Q. "Do you know, I honestly can't remember if the tracklisting of ANY album was announced before a release or if it just appeared on the day of..."

 

You're wrong! On Thursday the 10th of April, Prospekt released a tracklisting. So... I hope we'll get to see a tracklisting soon!

 

 

The Oracle replies:

 

I'm not "wrong", I said I can't remember not that it didn't happen. What can I say, I'm old, my memory is fading fast. As we established on the last question, I do not know everything. Yes, I know... fraudulent misrepresentation.

I will endeavour to find out if/when there will be a tracklisting announcement.

Q. Hi Oracle,

 

I was wondering if the song played before Hurts Like Heaven during the festival circuit is actually called Mylo Xyloto and was just shortened to MX to avoid spoiling the title of LP5 before the title was officially announced. Thanks!

 

 

The Oracle replies:

 

Ta-da! I wondered when someone would pick up on that after what I had said about it in a couple of answers.

MX did indeed mean Mylo Xyloto but at the festivals, as I did mention, it wasn't a full song, just a prelude/introduction to Hurts Like Heaven.

^ So now it is a full song, good to know!

ouup the oracle is so nervous these days...

Well, to be fair she meant that one particular post, and she rightly said so. I don't think anyone gets what Chris says most of the time..

"We love Jonny" I think.

:lol:

 

Big thumbs up to you!

 

 

"We love Jonny" I think.
Well, Chris definitely loves him.

 

/ still waiting for a BuMaby

I am still convinced Chris said Mylo Xyloto during Fix You at Lollapallozza!

good for you!

why do you have to be so mean and harsh?

 

Now you are wrong, because I'm not mean and harsh

Now you are wrong, because I'm not mean and harsh

 

I think your response "Good for you" was mean and harsh!

SOMEONE please clear this up for me..... I thought it was the theme to "Back to the Future", just before Hurts like Heaven, now it's MX or Mylo Xyloto??? :thinking:

That doesn't make me a mean and harsh person

No. The Back To The Future theme comes first, then Mylo Xyloto and then Hurts Like Heaven.

BTTF comes on before and as they hit the stage.

 

MX is the jangly music before HLH kicks in:

 

0.00 to 0.35 is MX :)

MX is the jangly music

 

Jangly. :awesome: I love that word!

Makes me think of Mr. Bojangles.

 

 

edit: Consdering the Oracle's answer today, I think there's a pretty good chance that the xylophone video from the studio is part of MX (the full song).

Jangly. :awesome: I love that word!

Makes me think of Mr. Bojangles.

 

I love that song :nice:
