congrats, Lauren! July 9, 2010 - submitted by Kerstin, Sweden Q. Dear all knowing Oracle! What is a hidden track? Yours sincerely, Kerstin The Oracle replies: All it means is that there's a song that isn't listen in the tracklisting of the album but rather is 'hidden'. Usually they appear at the end of the album mostly after a significant amount of time has passed so if you're listening to a CD you will miss it if you stop it before letting it run. Some are randomly scattered through the record. However there are plenty of clever clogs who have their hidden song before track 1 which is of course a little trickier to detect. In the case of 2 Many DJ's As Heard On Radio Soulwax pt.2 the album sleeve lists tracks starting at -04.15 but does not mention the title of that first hidden song which is a remix of Kylie's Can't Get You Out Of My Head.

July 9, 2010 - submitted by Lauren, United States of America Q. Hey Oracle, So I a few years back I had a vacation in Italy. My family and I were surprised to find out that you have to pay to use the public toilets. We're used to them being free, and think it's better that way. How many other European countries make you pay to use a public toilet? The Oracle replies: The phrase spend a penny seems a bit redundant here in the UK too as it will actually cost you 30p to go to the public loo in Euston Station for example. Yes, we do have to pay to use the conveniences in most public toilets. There are some free ones left in parks and so on but they're locked at night. It's a [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vtveZ0t48p4]sign of the times[/ame] and apart from them making money it's also a response to the growing drug use in lavatories.

Thank you from Oxfam July 8, 2010 3:59 pm Oxfam say thanks for your help with their Haiti fund Good afternoon. You might remember that, after January's terrible earthquake in Haiti, we gave details of how you could donate to Oxfam's relief work, as well as asking you to bid for a jacket and tour programme in the charity's fundraising auction. Well, Oxfam have asked us to pass on this video, which thanks you all for your generous support.

July 8, 2010 - submitted by Emily, United States of America Q. Oracle, What is the stupidest question you have ever received? Emily The Oracle replies: Well Emily, I'm not one to judge intelligence but as requested I have been asked some very bizarre and strange things. I wouldn't call anyone stupid; many people fell for our April Fool's jokes but that's a charming naivety. However the question I got asked right before yours was worthy of a mention in the realms of weird... Lexus asked: "If the world was invaded by aliens lets say tomorrow or next week. Would the aliens decide to cut out all sources of oxygen, drain blood from every human on the planet and then rule our planet, OR would they force the members of Coldplay to drink a pint of blood each, then take DNA samples from them? If so why? I hope this isn't too weird for you." Er, quite frankly Lexus, yes it is!

July 8, 2010 - submitted by Nina, United States of America Q. Hey, Oracle. Which member of Coldplay has the most annoying laugh? I ask this because I'm currently in my school library, and the two women in charge have laughs that I'm pretty sure are the most annoying on this planet. Thank you! The Oracle replies: Hahahahaha! This made me laugh, though hopefully not annoyingly! I can honestly say that all 4 members have really great sounding laughs; not remotely irritating. Your question has made me think... surely there can't be such a thing as a bad laugh? I do know what you mean but in life a laugh definitely sounds better than a cry no matter how irritating.

July 8, 2010 - submitted by Stasia, United States of America Q. Oh Oracle.. I have tickets for Lollapalooza in Chicago. The festival is quickly approaching, and two of the bands I want to see are playing at the same time on different stages! Do you think I should try to split my time between the two sets, or just force myself to choose one? Thanks! The Oracle replies: Just draw up two columns for each band and under their name write reasons for choosing them: Do they often tour (my neighbourhood)? Could this be their last tour for a while? If I discovered they were splitting up, who would I be most upset to have missed? And so on... Failing that just watch both and presume their first or second song to be their current tune and their last their biggest hit and aim to see your favourite last song, er, last! That might not work out but hey, it's a plan! FYI: I once chose Stone Roses at Reading over Underworld but it was sadly rubbish so just made it to the Dance Tent in time for [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TlLWFa1b1Bc]"lager, lager, lager"[/ame]!
