i should be prepping for an in class essay while doing research for two papers that are due in a week, but.......i'm a master procrastinator

i'm guessing stella's are a kind of beer?

i heard it at coachella and i enjoyed it, kinda gave me the vibe that it's gonna be to X and Y what Green Eyes was on the last album

yes yes it was an amazing festival. coldplay was the best in show, while weezer was awesome, and rilo kiley was one of my favorites for the day. but back to coldplay, they opened with square one, alot of fans were jumping in anticipation but it really took off when they went straight into politik after. i believe it was at the end of politik when chris gave a little nod to weezer by singing the first line of buddy holly, "what's with his homies dissing my girl," hehe. gpasuyf was fantastic, warning sign was fantastic, and yellow absolutely brought down the house. at the end of the scientist, chris started going into "hurt" by NIN, the headliners for sunday night. it was odd how he kept the same chord progression from the scientist while singing hurt, but it mixed perfect, after one or two lines of the song however he quickly stopped himself saying, "wait that's for tomorrow," getting a few laughs out of the audience. at the end of clocks, when the audience's clapping went out of sync with will's drums, chris had a spontaneous idea and asked the audience to race, their clapping against his playing, he went faster and faster playing the piano riff to clocks, it was funny watching the rest of the band try and keep up too. the new songs sounded amazing, well rehearsed, no mistakes. low was great, he asked the audience to all take pictures of him at a certain point, giving that flash effect. my favorite of the new songs was "what if," and chris seems to agree, he introduced it as "the best song we've ever f*cking written." they played "til kingdom come," saying it was for jonny cash, with "the most talented drummer in the world" will on piano, jonny and chris on guitars, and guy on the harmonica. speed of sound was great, and fix you was excellent too, chris said it was going to be everyone's favorite when the album comes out. their encore consisted of a message, in my place, and then fix you, in my place was probably my favorite for the night, mostly for the sing-along opportunities. on a side note my friend almost patted chris's shoulder when he walked through that pit aisle, he was inches away. all in all it was a spectacular performance, i cannot wait til they come back on their tour. you could tell that they were very happy to be playing in front of a huge (40,000) audience that consisted of their fans, the energy they were giving and recieving, it was amazing. Chris himself mentioned how great it was to be playing in front of all of us, comparing it to their gig at the hard rock hotel in vegas the night before, he said, loosely quoting, "it was an odd expereince, the room was full of more silicone than silicone valley. there were lots of nice breasts, but the audience was sh*t." so yeah, sorry for the looooooong review, its just that i'm still excited from the performance today.

THE (insert plural noun here)

i think it's pretty much a given that after a certain amount of alcohol there will be things done that will requre plenty of regretting the next morning, that is if you remember them first

whiskey sour jaegermeister and red bull socoke, that is, southern comfort and coke

can't wait, i'm going saturday only, don't think i have any recording devices that are smuggable (?) my brother does however have a camera that can record up to 10 min, so maybe two good songs? heh

you probably can't order the tickets off the fillmore website either huh?

i personally like ever single song on AROBTTH except for a whisperer, yeah it'll probably be remembered for it's hits, which are great hits, but amsterdam and warning sign are just great, hopefully they won't be forgotten either

mine worked too, though don't know how great my question is, had to run through about a dozen of typical, seen-in-every-magazine questions before i finally chose one to ask.

might help maybe if you could tell us where you heard it?

hmm, just thought of something, if chris wrote this after he broke up with his girlfriend, that line where he says, "you came along and cut me loose," could it mean cut me loose as in literally cutting him loose, i.e., dumping him? cause i always thought it had a positive connotation, like saving him, but to cut loose someone also means to dump em, heh

on a tangent, i remember reading in this forum someone mentioning that chris did a brief cover of "maps" now that's a cover i'd really like to hear

well VH1 usually puts out DVD's for their better storyteller's sessions, let's hope they give this one the same treatment

don't mind waiting for the album myself

there are already people lining up for this.......after the first two, still? don't have high expectations myself......

ah yes, radiohead, while there are a good number of songs where thom is pretty clear, at least he gives a good direction in what he means, there are equally as many radiohead songs that i couldn't understand at all. and interpol, some of their stuff goes right over my head

it's a popular theory that being "best friends" is just a metaphor for having a really long dating period.

eck high school, everything was much much easier then...... i'm currently in college, and can add my name to the list of the many directionless 20 somethings trying to find themselves.....argh! tough spot to be in.

nice reel big fish reference there, haven't heard that band in YEARS on topic, haven't had a date since......it'll be one year in may, and that was my ex-girlfriend, aaah! truth be told i'm not sure if i'm even fully over her yet and that's just sad

TiVo

so i like a few interpol songs, i really like obstacle 1, evil and slow hands are good too, just to get a firmer grasp on their music, are there any other standout singles that you guys'd reccommend? on a side note, these two street performers did an acoustic version of obstacle 1 with an acoustic guitar and a cello that sounded absolutley amazing

says there's a chance to win a pair if you check the news on this site
