cool that picture is really interesting..

 

that was right at the botttom of will's face. how ironic..he sang that song in glasgow. :laugh3:

Fairytale of NY is cited twice, as well as Massiv attack's 'Teardrop' ^^ But there's so many titles, I wonder if they are all true....

Yay, I'm looking forward to them playing at the Grammy's. I hope it'll get transmitted on Danish television. It's good to get information on who will support and cover the show. :)

I really like the song title image. :wacko:

now that's what i call a desktop-background size version of the picture :nice:

Dear god, i just read her posts for the day and realized why she felt the need to ask for people to submit more questions....... :sick:

Q. I thought it was interesting that Coldplay had grammy nominations for "seven Gongs" I am little perplexed as to which "grammy" award show this was? Or is this just a typo? If it is, my mistake.

Poor woman....... :\

For my whole sophmore year of high school, I woke up to Politik

 

"Open up your eyes"

 

I thought it was appropiate.
