Flaming Lips
the Lips are awesome! They can be one of the best feel good bands around, it all depends on how you look at it..a lot of their lyrics are on the downer/realist side, but with Wayne Coyne's infectious sugary voice and the generally zany upbeat rhythms, meloncholia never sounded so good! hearing She Don't Use Jelly should put anyone in a good mood :P

songs you'd like to hear Coldplay cover?
Good Choice :) Love will tear us apart - Joy Division, that'd make a nice piano ballad

Brit Pop!
i'll have to get it then. Your right about the songs out of place thing..i'm finding that with Hail to the Thief, individually the songs can stand on their own, but as a whole beginning to end it's amazing.

What movie has made you cry?
The Deerhunter - Man, when they sing God Bless America at the end :( Bambi - when i was a kid..c'mon thats gotta be the most heartbreaking one ever! L'Miserables (1995 french version) cant quite remember why but the tears were 'a flowin :sad: Once Upon A Time in America - just watching the characters age and their relationships with each other deteriorate..it's beautifully sad because that's humans for ya Little Odessa - One of the bleakest saddest films i've ever seen..tim roth has to put his brothers body in a furnace at the end because he accidently shoots him in a gang battle, and their mother dies in it too :(

DVDs i havent seen
you should definitely watch Platoon if you like Vietnam films, well it's a good film anyways even if you're not into war films..Blazing Saddles i found to be not quite as funny as everyone else seems to make out, it's ok i guess..10? eh, nah, watch Platoon out of those 3.

Poetry thread..
Upon the fresh mowed lawn I gaze upon, your clothes are strewn, scattered lillies on a pond. Life is frivolous for us, like shed feathers on the wind or a sand castle dirtied by a creeping tide. The days decay, old mortar crumbles, a clay ocean rumbles. Those clothes are ragged now, your favorite blouse is stained by my favorite wine.
