*whew* i found an FYE music store 21 miles from my beach house. that may sound far away, but my mom and i always go shopping at that shopping center when we're there, so i know where it is and can get there easily. so i suppose i'm set if i can't get internet access on june 16! that's still plan A, though. much easier, and doesn't involve wasting an hour in the car on a summer's morning, even though it IS for the best cause in the world. i'll pay for the gas! [/insanity]

a) because i like buying CDs better than downloading, but if downloading is the fastest way to get it to me, then i'll do that and then buy the physical CD when i can. i just like CDs, i like having a tangible piece of something. actually, i like vinyl better, but it's harder to find and we have no idea when that comes out. i'll buy the CD in the meantime. b) because i support coldplay. if it was a band i only just "liked" or could wait a bit to hear the CD, then i wouldn't buy the same thing twice. but i love coldplay more than any other band and am totally willing to give them the money. besides, i know that they're not just going to get drunk or high or buy prostitutes or lavish cars with the money. yes, they live comfortably, but they're down-to-earth about it, and i really respect them as artists and people. then again, if i can get the CD in a shop faster than i can get it downloaded to my computer, then i won't bother to download. but i anticipate that the download will get to me faster, and because it's coldplay and i love them, i have no qualms about giving them the money :D now if it really IS june 16, i must work on getting an internet connection at my summer house, which could prove interesting...i may have to old-skool it with dial-up, but if it gets me LP4 then it gets me LP4.

yeah, itunes is a big company that has customer satisfaction in mind. i've never pre-ordered from itunes before, but i'll TOTALLY do it for LP4, and i guess it'll be available SOMETIME that day for download, so i shouldnt complain too too much. apple's pretty on top of their game. besides, i was planning to download it AND buy the CD anyway, (well, i was going to download it if the download was available at midnight or sometime that night before i could get to the store), but it's just comical that i'll be AWAY during this time if this is actually the release date. and frankly, i think this date sounds very plausible until they tell us otherwise. i'm going with 16/17 june, i guess, and will be SUPER pleasantly surprised if they tell us officially that it will be out in may like we were all hoping. like i've said before, i can wait a pretty long time as long as i know WHEN i'm waiting for. the guessing makes it seem like the anticipation will go on FOREVER, and i can't deal with that.

ARGH. I'M ON VACATION ON JUNE 16 (june 17 is when it would be released in america) IN THE MOST SECLUDED AND UNCOMMERCIAL TOWN EVER. all i have to say is that if this is true, iTunes BETTER have LP4 available for download at the STROKE of midnight so i can download it. otherwise i'm hijacking my parents car and driving 20 miles to the nearest place where they sell CDs. ...does itunes usually have stuff available for download like around midnight on the day it's released? i know i'm probably counting my chickens way early, but if this is actually the release date, i want to be prepared.

GAH. I SO THOUGHT JIGSAW WAS GOING TO WIN. :bigcry: this has turned out to be my most disappointing survivor out of all of them!

blargh. well, the longer the boys themselves don't talk, the farther the "release date" will be pushed back. like everyone else has said, i don't 100% believe it because it's not an official source, but given the time span between then and now, it sounds like good speculation. besides, were the sources that said may 19 actual catalogue entries, or just dates tacked next to the album on various websites? if they're saying its an actual catalogue entry, then it might hold some worth. this is why a big band could never do a silence release (not that i think coldplay's trying to do that, but it sure as hell sounds like it! :P): once the album name shows up on the shop catalogues and shipping lists etc, someone will squeal and the world will know. it's just beginning to frustrate me that we've been getting a lot of the biggest info from OUTSIDE sources recently: the RS article and now an HMV email!

ok, NOW i'm voting for reckoner after somehow completely missing the last round. jigsaw BETTER move on.

reckoner. jigsaw is my ultimate fave, and weird fishes just HAS to go on. EDIT: wait, dude, how did i miss this poll?! somehow i completely missed it and it's now closed. too bad, because one more vote for reckoner would mean a double elimination!! blah. ah, well, i figure we all know how this one is going to end up. can't wait for the bends and PH! :dance:

poo, so i was wrong :mean: :cry2:

^she's actually the one that got me into coldplay. she knew them and liked them before i did, but she's not obsessed or anything. she likes their music and only knows about them personally because of how much i go on about them! :P

on the subejcts of coldplay AND simon pegg... i was in the movie theater with my mom today and we saw a poster for run fatboy run, which i cant WAIT to see. we got talking about simon pegg and i mentioned that simon was the godfather of chris's kids. and my mom turns to me and says "he's the godfather of which one, the fruit or the bible-figure?" and i just about died laughing.

i kind of :heart: this one... he just looks so young and adorable...also from my favorite music video of theirs :)

all i need. after that's gone, i have no idea.

they've done more than 2 stars in a week before...three so far this week. there's still a chance for tomorrow! even though i'm on the pessimistic side simply to save myself from too much disappointment, i still think there's a decent chance.

^nah, they've been known to post stars two days in a row before. i don't think a star today means anything about a star tomorrow. at least not yet. they've also been kown to post TWO stars in one day as we saw two days ago AND two weeks ago (and one of those stars two weeks ago was in 2008 about the tour dates--very important!) i don't think we should give up hope until at least midday tomorrow.

because the poll is closed, i feel like i can re-post, seeing as i lost when i said 2 march. now i say 14 march, which is...friday. if it's not up by 15 march, i'm giving up.

you regret buying 2 of the strokes albums?!?! :stunned: sorry, i just didn't think this was possible.

^ i don't think the next STAR necessarily will be THE star, but the next prospekt ENTRY BETTER be THE entry or i'm going to go insane :freak: if they give us another "ooh look at our progress! but we're taunting you by not giving you any concrete info!" i'm seriously going to believe that they LIKE pissing us off.

hahahaha, ohhhh man, that cracked me up!!! :laugh4: :laugh1: i bet she DOES love coldplay :P but so does the computer/software company...

^must get round to reading that once i get the time. whenever the hell that is...

^i think you're well on your way! your english is INCREDIBLY good. (then again, i'm assuming you want to be a translator of english, but that may be a dumb assumption ;)) actually, most peoples' english is absolutely spectacular on here, but seriously, if you didn't have your little slovenian flag up and i didn't know you were from there, i'd honestly think you were american or british! people on here put me to shame that i only really speak english with only bits of spanish, french and arabic. i feel like a slouch!

ooh, i didn't know that! will do next time semy goes spoiler-crazy :D

i'm usually pretty good about what i buy, and rarely regret anything. but the things i regret most are certain articles of clothing, i guess, that either don't fit exactly right but i love anyway or clothes that i like, but really only buy because it's a good price. and the other half of that coin is that i don't like to get rid of anything, so i've still got all of those clothes AROUND somewhere, despite the fact that i don't wear them much or they don't fit anymore. i have an unbelievably hard time parting with things.

wow, i thought bodysnatchers was more well-liked as well...

aww, thats cute! i like that michael isnt so haughty that he thinks he's everyone's big brother. and i especially love that he thinks chris is a contemporary :D
