2009 albums worth hearing
I thought the Antony & The Johnsons record was quite good. Animal Collective LP & Bon Iver EP are good too. And of course, the Life In Technicolor ii Single!

HARDEST PART "International" Single Due Out May 16th
- HARDEST PART "International" Single Due Out May 16th
Saw this on amazon.com : http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000FG66CU/sr=1-2/qid=1145985864/ref=sr_1_2/103-9265607-9470242?%5Fencoding=UTF8&s=music Looks promising as it actually lists the b-side: "This international 2-track single features 'The Hardest Part' b/w a live track 'How You See the World'. EMI. 2006." In other news, the Japanese pressing has been pushed back to June 1st: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000EMH9SA/sr=8-1/qid=1145986629/ref=pd_bbs_1/103-9265607-9470242?%5Fencoding=UTF8 Hopefully more b-sides (live or otherwise) will be forthcoming.- The Hardest Part’ will be the next RADIO ONLY single release from X&Y.
Saw this on Amazon... http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000EMH9SA/sr=8-1/qid=1142979855/ref=pd_bbs_1/104-3468272-4695118?%5Fencoding=UTF8 According to the description, it's a Japanese pressing due out the 20th of April (a Thursday?), but no artwork and no track listing. Not to mention that Amazon's pre-release listings aren't always accurate and there's nothing listed on Amazon's UK site. I thought I'd heard a while back that there was a release date set for the 3rd of April (I had it marked on my calendar), so it seems odd that no info had come out yet. Not a good sign.... Plus no new songs on this tour. What's up with that?- Coldplaying Big Brother: The Auditions
that you just wrote a paragraph? of course, you didn't have to be "arsed" into it, so i don't think it counts. ;)- The Freeware Thread
nice thread. you may want to check out http://www.filehippo.com/ --> my favorite freeware site.- Which Coldplay song sounds like a re-make,cover?
speed of sound is based on 'running up the hill' by kate bush, of course.- Lyrics to Crests of Waves....
check out the lovely lyrics section: http://www.coldplaying.com/page.php?file=/html/tracksearch/index.htm or forget about 'official' lyrics and pick whichever one you like better. ;)- Supportive friend???

Re: vg More socialist-leaning perhaps, but I think we're still a long way from Big Brother (that's from 1984, not Animal Farm, btw). And while Orwell is good, I think Huxley's Brave New World is more on target. Good quote, but there's no 'y' in Franklin. ;)- BUSH does it again...bastard
Wooow! Well arent you slick. I happen to like discussing politics, especially when I can do it on this forum. I dont really see where the anger comes in, I was just going on with my point (With each post considering the points made by others). I can agree a lot more with your point's then the one's that Camille stated. That was just my lame attempt at humor based on the observation that you seem to have some pretty strongly held (and strongly worded) opinions. Hence the little smiley face at the end (which you omitted from the quote). Didn't mean anything by it. Well, I think there are plenty of countries that go well beyond just the "basic fundamentals of protection." And while defense is fine, I guess I just don't see the world as a fundamentally hostile place. Your comment about the unevenness of civil liberties protection is well-taken, but do you really think neo-nazis would be a force without the FBI/CIA? That group lies so far on the periphery of the social spectrum that there's just no real public sympathy for them. Sure there'll always be a few bigots, but I don't really ever see them becoming a force in America. And as for the mob, their loss of influence (outside of Hollywood, anyway) has more to do with the younger generation getting sloppy, I think. Also, see my earlier comments on prohibition and organized crime. The government helped put them in power to begin with. While the "Founding Fathers" may be over-idealized to some degree, the basic tenets of "life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness" are the foundation that the U.S. was built on. If people want to move away from that, that's fine, but I think it's an ideal worth defending. And yes, I realize that a lot has been done even from this nation's inception that has gone in direct opposition of that ideal, but that's why it's an ideal. No one's saying Bush was the first, but he's certainly taken things to extremes (particularly with the Patriot Act). And personally, I think that in taking such an agressive attitude, the government has actually done more to put it's citizens in danger than to protect them - chiefly by becoming involved in "entangling alliances" which Washington specifically warned against in his farewell address (yes, yes, worm food, I know). The U.S. government has put plenty of dictators into power out of sheer short-sightedness, and then acts all surprised when things literally blow up in their faces. If I'm not mistaken, the U.S. helped put Saddam Hussein in power in the first place, back when Iran was the "enemy," and helped set the stage for bin Laden by arming Afghans in their fight against the Soviet Union, then abrubtly pulling out. Don't get me wrong, I'm not justifying terrorism in any way, but you don't go sticking your hand in a hornet's nest, expecting not to get stung. That's just what hornets do when they feel threatened. And you don't go fucking around in the Middle East without expecting some attempts at retribution. That's just what angry fundamentalist religious zealots do. (And yes, by extension, you don't go running planes into buildings full of civilians without expecting some form of retaliation in return.) Much as the government would like you to believe that the U.S. was entirely unprovoked, the fact is that it did help set the stage for the situation we're in now. If protection is your concern, sometimes it's not always what you do, but what you don't do. True, only Congress can declare war. This is just an "armed conflict." ;) Well, arent they? They certainly aren't doing that right now. I'm not sure which question you're answering there, but I just don't see how giving up certain privacy rights is going to end the war in Iraq. Maybe there's a connection somewhere, but I just don't see it. Well, parents can monitor what's on their children's computer and can take steps to know where their children are and who they associate with, but it's true that they can only do so much. But still, you need probable cause to go searching someone else's computer. You can't just go searching *everyone* just because they *might* be a predator. Aside from privacy issues, it's just not practical. Sorry, but I just don't think you have to give up your privacy or civil liberties to feel safe. And, incidentally, I don't have anything against the government monitoring phone calls per se, as long as they do it legally (or are at least smart enough to do it without getting caught red-handed).- Behind The Times With Coldplay CD's
how about brit-pop?- i`m still new
yes, but who's sexier, guy or will?- All singles

That movie rules! Dignan is the best and Wes Anderson is my god. :stunned: gotta love wes....but shouldn't coldplay be your god? ;) F - Fargo- BUSH does it again...bastard
The media is only as powerful as the people who buy what it has to sell. If you're conscious, aware, and accept responsibility for your actions, then you have nothing to worry about. Placing the blame on someone or something else just disempowers you.- BUSH does it again...bastard
I'm up for a tumble, cowboy. ;) Does compromising your liberties make you safer? No, living a 'free' life (whatever that means) doesn't make you happier. That's up to you. But protecting civil liberties does help create an environment that encourages creativity, openness and prosperity. Plus it's a whole lot more fun than living in one of those pesky dictatorships. Shouldn't the burden of proof be on the government? I guess it depends on what you see as it's role. If the purpose of governemnt is to protect the liberties of its citizens (as the founding fathers seemed to believe), then granting the CIA (or any other acronymn bureau) carte blanche seems like a pretty serious breach. He's a politician. On every level, there must be lies. On his level, his lies are blown up into being huge disasters. Not that I'm defending him. But if your going to hate him you could pick bigger reasons. Like how he probably orchestrated 9/11, thats a big'un. I think she meant he's a *bad* liar. ;) So now we're on to JFK conspiracy theories? And don't get me started on Andrew Johnson! Sure Bush may not be the worst, but he's certainly provided more goofy soundbites (to use as fodder) than any other president! BTW, Reilly, you seem to have some anger issues. Perhaps you need a hobby to help you relax....like listening to Coldplay. :cool:- A-Z Movies
B - Bottle Rocket- Horn sound in Help is just around the Corner
actually, i'm pretty sure they recorded that one in new york. that's a yellow cab honking!- And yet another question
i know what you mean. pluralities always make me sad, too. ;)- Coppermine Photo Gallery
rokay, i'll rry. ;) never heard of coppermine before, but you could try completely uninstalling it (control panel > add or remove programs, if you're on windows), then reinstall a fresh copy. or else contact the software developer's customer support. worse comes to worst, you could always go back to the old version that was working for you. p.s. this might be obvious, but you may need to reboot after installing/uninstalling.- All B-sides?
