it's about 70 cents, i think. definitely less than a dollar for one :wink:

i used to feel too guilty to eat things like animal crackers and teddy grahms and gummy bears when i was little :lol:. it would make me sad. i guess the feeling has kind of stuck, though, since i tend to avoid it now :P. i think twice about eating them :lol:

i really consider them two parts of a whole, so i don't really think one can be better than the other.

we HOPE it's tomorrow :wink:. i'm not so confident, but we'll see :D

my first reaction is :dead: i hardly know how to elaborate at this point. with VLVOD, i decided to reserve almost all judgement on it till about october, and i'm glad i did. with X&Y, i was much too quick to lavish praise on it, and then when the "shine wore off," so to speak, it felt a bit more like a letdown. i didn't want to do the same with VLVOD, and i'm glad i didn't. i only started being convinced that it was fucking amazing last month. but since this is really an extension of VLVOD, i don't have as much of a problem with immediately saying this is fucking amazing. LIT II might as well be one of the best things they've ever done. i said that about the original LIT and didn't think lyrics could possibly make that piece of fried gold any better, yet i was colpletely wrong. the lyrics in that song are MINDBLOWING, as is chris's vocal performance. and the music itself of course. i love postcards too. i think any longer in that style without other instruments or vocals would have been a bit much, so i think it's the perfect length. it makes me think of walking around london in a trenchcoat on a rainy fall day :P. glass of water is mindblowing. the POWER in those refrains...they think they can't handle "heavy." the emotion and energy in the choruses are EPIC. i can't wait to feel that song live. rainy day is awesome, really different. is that jonny in that part where they say "the deeper that the knife goes in..."? i hope it is :nice:. i think this is a completely awesome song, but perhaps not my favorite on the EP for now. prospekt's is better than it sounded to me in the preview...i LOVE the first part with basically just chris and the acoustic guitar. it's so beautifully sad...it makes me think of some devastating, fairytale war. lost + is cool, i'm actually a bit of a fan of jay-z's addition to it. i just *kinda* wish coldplay left out lost+ and lovers in japan on the EP to make room for two more fucking mindblowing new songs. but hey, we CANNOT complain. lovers in japan is one of my absolute favorites off VLVOD, and i like the additions of the oohs, it makes it seem more like it is live, which was one of the most epic experiences of my life. now my feet won't touch the ground. oh my fucking god. that first verse KILLS me. i can't get over how beautiful this song is. if i'm being picky, i would have left out the brass and kept it more parachutes the entire time, but AHH. this is one of the best things they've ever done. it's till kingdom come, but better. i was listening to it walking back from class today, and it was snowing and i was crying a little bit, it was all so beautiful. i bet people thought i was insane, walking around crying, but it hits me in exactly the right way, that first verse.

FUCKING WEBTRAFFIC. THANKS MAN!!! :dance:

i love how the webtraffic on JT has shot up like a rocket :dozey: :lol:

2.5 mins, approx

how long does 15% take to upload, josh_simo? should it be in the next 5 or so? my roommate is ready to kill me.

should be approx. 5 mins now or so...

yes, well, i'm going to be a zombie in 8:30 arabic class tomorrow. but after that, i plan to plug this EP back in my ears and go back to sleep :D. tomorrow's going to be a pretty good day, i can tell.

thank you for the explanation and for the upload. it just would have been helpful if someone said that earlier. it would have shut us all up.

i know, i'm at my wit's end. it's past my bedtime. if we had been given an explanation on WHY the original upload can't go up on JT until it dies, i might be less cranky. we haven't been told WHY that isn't possible. it would save lots of people time.

we know none of you ran. we just don't understand why you can't post the original link on JT to tide us over. no snot out of anyone's nose until it stops working. it would hurry this process along quite a bit. people are sacrificing a lot to wait for this thing, and unless the original has already been deleted, we're just all wasting time.

were you an uploader? or does ready to go mean you're waiting like the rest of us? it would be most efficient to post the old link in the meantime. it'll just become useless once the first one is deleted (unless it's already been deleted).

is this really taking THIS long? someone post the link on the other place for the time being. once it's deleted, it wont work anymore and the one you're working on uploading will fulfil the old one's function. just get the current one on JT to get the show on the road.

why is there a need to reupload it?! just post it in the aforementioned location, or ask me who can.

some people have the whole thing?! PM ME FOR PEOPLE THAT HAVE ACCOUNTS ON THE NAMELESS FORUM THAT CAN POST IT FOR US ALL TO PUT AN END TO THIS.

mel, i'm pretty sure posting a link to JT is an ian-approved method, or at least from what i saw on june 4 with the VLV leak. i thought HE was the one to link us all :thinking: really, though, what are our other options at this point?

who already has an account on JT? let me know.

i'd like a PM too if one's going around :D

my stomach is filled with butterflies. oh man, i can't wait to listen to this for the first time in bed with the lights off :D i'm like, shaking.

ohhhhh YAY for no torrents!! :dance:

oh, and BTW, jizo... YOU'RE AWESOME :heart: you might have already said, but what format are you putting it as? i pray not a torrent. i know you're not saying where yet, though :D

wow. i was in the shower, i get back, and find this thread :stunned: yes, it would be LOVELY if it wasn't a torrent :D shit, now i can't go to sleep, no way :uhoh:. any estimate on time here?
