What if X&Y had been released first …
funny someone should bring up this point because i myself has said similar things. i mean i was pretty unimpressed with X&Y, let's be honest -- but if that had been some unknown group and you handed me X&Y i'd probably have really enjoyed it and thought it was great. but because i know where coldplay's been, it's hard to enjoy where they seem to be going.

[unknown] Talk Lyrics
haha, yeah i've always wondered about that part of the unreleased talk. i always her 'i'm up as a pilot flying' but i know that's wrong.

Things you don't like about X&Y
^^^ agreed. buckland's fancy geetar work makes a lot of the songs bareable.

Rush of Blood vs. X&Y
i dunno, my problem was i thought i could compare the two albums...and when i did that x&y basically equaled toliet paper. i'm just taking each album for what it is. x&y is a little different, pretty light. a rush is emotional and dark at times. i enjoy them both, but i love a rush so much more.

Hot Hot Heat
gah, still loving their album to death. i am sorely regretting missing the chance to see them live last april. they came to my weee town and played a small club and i didn't go because i had an exam. IDIOT. haha.

the bravery
i love the video for fearless. it's so ridiculous.

Maximo Park
i searched to see if there was a thread about these guys and didn't see one so i figured i'd get the ball rolling. i just sort of randomly found out about these guys (saw their video for 'apply some pressure' in american eagle a few months ago and went straight home to d/l everything by them), i adddore their sound. i checked out their tour schedule on their website and it looks like their doing a buttload of shows opening for the bravery (which would be such a fucking great concert!! i juuuust saw the bravery a few weeks ago! wish maximo had been there then) anyway, they are great. hope others agree!

The Aqualung Thread
^^ aren't those two albums both the same, just different covers? i have the first album posted there and the other one (i feel like it's self titled) the cover has a scribbly drawing of matt hales on it. both are pretty good, but i wish i had known he would release a US/CAN album with the best of both 8 months after i bought them. coulda saved a shitload. import albums oh too damn pricey.

John Mayer

dashboard confessional?
okay, i keep getting confused. people tell me dasboard confessional is just the one guy and then other people SWEAR it's a band. i don't know what to believe. i like db mostly for their lyrics. i think their pretty interesting.

Ben Folds Five/Ben Folds
i think 'annie waits' is probably one of my favourite ben folds songs. it's just so calming.

Celebrities that likes Coldplay
john mayer is a big, big fan of coldplay. he's been quoted quite a few times saying how great they are. i know drew barrymore and her strokes drummer boyfriend (i won't attempt to spell his name) have been spotted at coldplay concerts.

The Official "Doves" Thread
and also i don't even know which album to buy? what would you guys recommend, i was thinking 'the last broadcast' but are the other two better options?

The Official "Doves" Thread
i am freakin' in love with the doves. i think 'there goes the fear' is like my life theme at the moment. just love it. i keep going to buy their cd, but hot damn are they ever pricey. 18.99 being the lowest i've seen so far.

Interpol
i am so stoked for their toronto show. i can't wait for saturday morning to come already so i can snatch up some tickets. i've been dying to see them ever since their last concert at the docks. yayaya.

Beware Spoilers! The HP thread for those who've read it!
i kind of wish i was into this whole harry potter craze. it seems like fun. one friend bought it at midnight and was up to 6:30am finishing it. i know some people might be disappointed with the new book, but i've got to say when you make a series of 7 novels you can't expect every volume to be amazing. i'm pretty impressed that j.k rowling had enough ideas to stretch it out that long. kudos.

What's Your Favourite Lyric From the New Album?
i've enjoy... '...when you love someone but it goes to waste' 'i'm not gonna take it back and i'm not gonna say i don't mean that...'
-
Sparks
'sparks' is a great tune. it's just the perfect rainy day song for me.
-
An idea about Talk...
yeah, i can see the song being about hearing about becoming a father...whether or not it's actually about that it's a good guess. i dunno, i got a whole 'look at what a state the world is in brother' vibe when i heard the new talk. i much prefered the old verson's lyrics.
-
A Whisper
yeah, i enjoy 'a whisper' too. especially the last 50 seconds or so.

Misheard lyrics in X&Y...
i'm still not sure of what the first few lines of the title track X&Y are...i thought i was hearing trying hard to speak and fighting with my weak hand but i think i'm wrong.
