I use YouTube Downloader. You can download the video and also convert it to MP3.

When you buy multiple copies of each album Just to have them in case anything happens. And, the box set of Vinyl singles, when you don't have a record player, just to have them.

It was still good, in english or french.. made me lol.

That was good.

I have no record player either... figured I would work on getting one sometime. =P

:D

Any word on when the free songs are coming out and what they will be !??

his arms seemed it for a second I guess. HAHA

Wow! Chris' so muscular! O_O (don't know why i haven't noticed that before)

Good call!

Aww, the spraypaint!

Now i just bought the The Singles 1999 - 2006 Vinyl Box collection, while watching the Madrid Concert live..

I turn the music up, I got my records on......

Amazing - MX/Hurts Like Heaven Charlie Brown Us Against The World U.F.O AHT/Don’t Let it break Your Heart Up With The Birds Good - Paradise M.M.I.X / Every Teardrop is a Waterfall Major Minus Okay - Princess Of China Up in Flames

Me too!

I went today and two were left. Now there is only one left ;)

750 - Ignore it

I agree.. when I watched Paradise live in NYC I thought it sounds much better on stage than the single.

I have only listened to Don't Let it Break Your Heart and Up with the Birds from iTunes streaming... and then obviously what is already out as singles.

I love this song, and oddly enough it reminds me of Don't Panic. At least the beginning, with the lyric "send me up to that beautiful world" ... anyways, it's a truly beautiful song.

Gah! I love it. Makes me so excited to hear the album even more.

Haha, for sure. This is such an exciting story! :D

I was talking about the shirt that he wears in all the pics with Beyonce, where you can see the mark on his arm. I really want to get it, if I can't find it online, I will just try and make one like it, but i think it's awesome!
