Q. Dear Oracle, during your upcoming show.....shall I sit or stand?

The Oracle replies:

The floor is usually all standing but if you are in the seated area, I think if you wanna get up and dance do, but be aware you could be blocking the view of people behind who may then ask you to sit. There are certain songs (Viva la Vida for example) that everyone will jump up for so you won't always be glued to your seat.

Q. Hello Oracle... If you could choose one Coldplay song that they haven't played in a long time (or an old song that they haven't played before)... which one would you choose to include it in the setlist?

The Oracle replies:

I'd have to say Such a Rush, which was almost a contender on the Twisted Logic tour, although anything from Parachutes would be a treat (except Yellow & Trouble as they're already out there).

Q. Dear Oracle, I've heard you know everything so you may help me. I'm probably the shyest person in the whole wide world and I want to know, what I should do if I ever meet someone like the guys from Coldplay. I wouldn't be able to say a word! Maybe you can give me an advise. Thanks!

(oh and sorry for my english... it's not my mothertounge ^^")

The Oracle replies:

I totally understand what it's like to meet someone who I admire and have been victim of shaky legs, trembling hands and nervous stomach but I remind myself that whoever they are, they're people so treat them the same as I would anyone else. It's quite hard because you can get tongue tied so maybe plan what you would say now and who knows one day it may come in handy to be prepared! Oooh and I once saw Bj�rk on holiday in Marbella back in 1992. I didn't want to disturb her but wanted to tell her how amazing I thought Hit was, so I did. She said, "Thank you very much" and that was that. It was short but sweet!
