Two things... I came across this description of the Deluxe Edition of Up To Now on amazon UK (they're not making it available on amazon US :( )

 

Wait, huh?? They did a cover of Crazy in Love? Has anyone heard this??

 

And the second thing... I was curious as to how old the guys were so I checked out wikipedia. Just found out that Gary is EXACTLY 10 days older than me. His birthday is June 15, 1976; mine is June 25th of that year. :wacky:

yup, they did cover that Beyonce tune...& they covered a Sugababes tune too. they're both good covers, but it REALLY cracks me up when rock bands like Coldplay & Snow Patrol do covers of pop tunes, especially the bubbly & bouncy tunes! :laugh3:

 

here's Crazy In Love :

& here's the Sugababes tune (About You Now) :

btw, that's a great discovery for you about Gary being just 10 days older than you! hehe :D

^Aw... cool! Thanks, Kimmi! :hug:

The Beyonce one is definitely giggle inducing, but I quite like About You Now. I don't think I've ever heard the original.

 

and yeah, I thought the birthday thing was funny. :D

PS! who loves the new snow patrol tap tap revenge 3 levels? they are the best since coldplay and the killers! Only Chasing Cars and Shut Your Eyes though....and only in easy and hard!

^Aw... cool! Thanks, Kimmi! :hug:

no worries, Jen! :D

 

i haven't heard the original version for About You Now myself, actually. but then, with a name like Sugababes, i can't really imagine that song to be anything other than a bubbly pop tune.

 

& i couldn't help giggling cos there's a banjo playing away for the song! cute! :laugh3:

 

@merryberry9 : i haven't tried. but then i don't really wanna pay for just 2 Snow Patrol songs & i already have Tap Tap Coldplay. :\

How are you, Polar Teddies? :nice:

 

Less then two weeks to go to Up To Now and another week until the first gig of the Reworked Tour! :dance:

 

I get shivers everytime the Dark Roman Wine preview starts in my iTunes. Some one else already fell in love with that song?

Hey Bianca!

This Polar Teddy is fine... how about you?

 

Wow, just two weeks til Up to Now!

I'm still waiting to hear Just Say Yes on the radio here... although, to be fair, I rarely listen to the radio. I just hope they have good sales for Up to Now here in the US.

 

I've only heard the Dark Roman Wine preview once! :\ I kind of want to save it for when I have the cd in my hands!!! Of course, that probably won't be until xmas, but at least I'll have something to look forward to!

Hi Jen! Well, I'm not so fine anymore because I just found out I won't have Up To Now before 20th November. :(

Stupid, stupid Germany releases the album only then and this is waaaaaaaaaaaay after the UK. What's wrong with them? Usually we get albums a whole weekend earlier (album releases in Germany are on Fridays, in the UK on Mondays) and now we'll get it 11 FREAKING DAYS later?! :bigcry:

 

I probably listened to the Give Me Strenght preview about 30 times and the Dark Roman Wine preview as well. But the complete songs will blow my mind away, I'm sure of that.

ugh. Bummer, Bianca! I wonder why they did that?

 

I can't remember, are you just getting the two CD set, the Deluxe set (w/DVD) or the super-fantastic BOX SET?

 

@A Distant Echo... the leaderboard is up... we've got 8 points... a pretty good showing it seems! :dance:

I generally don't like listening to song previews more than a couple times. It tends to ruin the experience for me when I suddenly focus on a certain portion of a full song (if you know what I mean, that may have been confusing). I haven't bought a physical album in quite some time, but I plan on buying Up to Now, epsecially since I'm not as familiar with much of the pre-Final Straw work.

Hey Michael...

yeah, I feel the same way. And I'm also going to buy the actual album, I'm planning on getting the Deluxe set. I only bought the downloads of FS, EO, and AHMS and now I really wish I had gotten the actual cds. :( Maybe I'll ask Santa to get them for me for xmas! :D

Hi everybody! :kiss: (Hi Jea, if you see this!!)

 

Bianca, why don't you order Up to now at amazon.co.uk?

It's a lot cheaper there as well!!

Hey it really sucked that I missed the party

maybe next time, and it could by messenger or something

to make it more dinamic while posting stuff here as well

like the videos.

 

I'm so looking forward to Up To Now as well!!!

But if Germany is taking 11 days to release it

I don't wanna think about Mexico :bomb:

It took me like 3 weeks to get AHMS

Bianca, why don't you order Up to now at amazon.co.uk?

It's a lot cheaper there as well!!

 

I reckon this'd be the much better option, Bianca. :)

 

Also, I can't believe you haven't seen the Somerset House DVD yet! :stunned:

 

:P

Hey everyone!!! I just heard Just say yes on the radio so I thought Id come here and share it with you. The song is on number 10 on that radio's week chart! :D

@ Indnsky

One of my relevants called my yesterday to tell me Just Say Yes was on the radio. It's been played for about three weeks here now and is always in the weekly Top 20 of the radio station. :D

 

Thanks everybody for making me feel better! :hug:

It's written on many pages where you can order the album that it's released on the 20th but some say 6th November (which seems more likely to me because we always get the albums three days earlier!). I'm totally confused. :\

My favourite music store says it's out on 20th November, another in my town says 6th November. So I'll go for the other then and buy the album there. I can't wait eleven days to get it. :rolleyes4:

 

@ Jen

I'm planning on buying the CD + DVD set, not the box though. It won't be sold here anyway and missing out on another DVD (yes, Bernard :dozey:)? Definetely not! :D

Its very often on the radio here... :D People found out about them this summer when they opened for U2!

 

And its Lndnsky, like London Sky. Or just Antonia!

Hi Antonia, I'm Bianca, nice to meet you! :nice:

 

 

Okay, people, I got a bit silly this evening and thought of making something (alomost) Snow Patrol related. Here is what I came up with. :rolleyes:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

At least I had fun making it! :D

^awwww, Bianca! I love it! :hug: sooo cute! :nice:

Thanks, Jen. :hug: I thought of copying some teddies but I didn't find cute and suitable ones, so I had to make some myself. That's why they turned out that simple. :dozey:

:stunned:

Looky what I found... the performances from the Q interview that Elena posted the other day!! :dance:

 

(Ok, I "found" them on the SP forum :P)

Have seen them after watching the interview (which was brilliant :lol: and @ Elena: I don't see Mary prop up her head too often :thinking: :P). I don't like Crack The Shutters anyway, but Chocolate was good. :nice:

hey everybody :nice:

 

(Hi Jea, if you see this!!)

:D I know, I'm such a lurker... :curtain:

 

Great videos, thanks for posting! Is it just me or does Gary seems to have a cold or something? He still sounds amazing though.

 

@Anna

I tried to order at amazon.co.uk, but only UK-based Maestro cards are allowed :(

Haha, that has just brought the LARGEST smile to my face!! :cheesy:

 

Excellent work Bianca! Simple but effective. :)

:lol: I know it's pretty funny. Glad you like it!

You can't believe how much fun it made to make it. :D Seeing the boys looking so serious and all and in the background those rediculous bears. :laugh4:

(I don't mean YOU are rediculous, guys! :hug: Just those bears.)

 

Thanks for the compliment, Bernard. :)

hey everybody :nice:

Hi Jea, I'm Jen. It's nice to meet you! :nice:

 

Yeah, Gary's voice did sound a little more gruff than usual, I think they mentioned in the interview that it was pretty early, so I bet that had something to do with it. But even gruff, he's got the most amazing voice. :wacky:

 

and I was wondering about ordering on amazon.co.uk, too. The deluxe set isn't being offered in the US, so that's probably the best way to get it... I should just be able to use a mastercard or something to order it, right?

 

Also, Jea, I did see that they're also selling it on SP's online store:

You might try there! :)
