Oops. Forgot to mention that I also wrote them a letter and posted it. The guy who I talked to was short and to the point, but was also nice. When I was leaving he was like 'Yep, sorry. Take care'. He had a beard similar to Jonny's and blue eyes I think. I was trying to take everything in that I saw when the door was semi-ajar. I saw amps in the front area. And the stairs going up. The garage was closed, but there were lamps inside, and I could faintly see guitars in there. I was like 'whooaaa!!!'

O everybody! I am sad. I'm from Australia. I travelled all the way to England for a holiday and one of my main goals was to get to the Bakery and hopefully meet the guys. So I caught a few buses and tubes and eventually got to the Bakery. I walked around a bit then, after nothing was happening, went into the Bistro. I had a coffee and waited. Still nothing. Then I built up my courage and went and pressed the doorbell. Some guy came out and I told him who I was and where I had come from and I asked if I could see any of the boys. I knew the answer would be no, but it was worth the try (If you never try, you'll never know...someone once said lol). But I feel so disheartened :cry:, I've come all this way and I did my bestest not to get my hopes up, but it was hard cos I was actually seeing this place with my own eyes. AND I talked to some guy who works for Coldplay! I knew they were in there, cos the waitress and the bistro told me (cept Chris wasn't, apparently in America??). Well, there is my Bakery story for you all. I got some pics as well, I'll try and post them later.

if they can add a freakin show for sydney, they can damn well add ONE show in Adelaide. What is this.

A question for the Oracle no doubt! I'm also quite dissappointed that it wasn't a song in itself. I was always looking forward to hearing Poppy Fields. Now its more like poopy fields.. In saying that, it is a cool little outro.

Is Chris' black one seen in the Toronto dvd? If so what songs?

Did they all contribute to it? It's hard to hear what each member might've played..

That was great fun!

"a solo career is something he's always wanted to do" ..I've never heard such rubbish! Chris has always said that without any of the other members, the band would fail and he would be useless. He has always thought a solo career as a bad thing. Yep. Discard this crap. I would only listen to what you get that is official. Many times has Chris said crap about finishing. Every album round he says that. It just keeps us on our toes.

I'll be coming across from Adelaide. My friends and I are making a banner. But you'll have to wait and see what it says.

What the hell!! As if they miss out on Adelaide, yet go to Perth??? So angry right now. Looks like it's a plane ticket to Melbourne then...

I just went and purchased the VLV/PM edition from 'Sanity'. $27 (AUS). Awesome stuff, but I wonder what song is Poppy Fields? Maybe I need to listen over it again. It also mentions on the sticker on the front 'Australian Tour Edition February/March'. WOOOOT!!!!!

whoa. wait a moment. wasnt it meant to be released in japan today? what is this? why the sudden late change in dates??

O come now. "Somewhere Only We Know" is a great song. But you gotta listen to "Crystal Ball" - especially live. It's good stuff. The songs "Nothing in my Way" and "A Bad Dream" would've been good if they were an option.

C'mon Adelaide dates! I paid $120 last time and I was front row. So I wonder if it'll really be $145 this time around. It is a more expensive show and with all the shiz goin on atm, I wouldn't be surprised.

I think this is a question for the Oracle...

I went into JB Hifi and the dude said they were coming in. He asked if I wanted to pre-order one, but I asked if there would be enough, and he said yes. So there you go! That's the VLV special edition though. I dont think the Ep is being sold seperately in CD form?

Rainy Day sounds like it was based off Sleeping Sun.

Can anyone find a link for it on the Fender website?? I can't find it there! EDIT: Wait. I take that back. Just found it!! http://www.fender.com/products//search.php?partno=0137702392 - for anyone that's interested.

Cool, thanks very much!!! Brilliant guitar. I'll add it to wish list! :lol: Does he use it for any other songs apart from Chinese Sleep Chant in the setlist?

Well, it definately has humbucker pick-ups. But it has a weird head i thought. But I can't rightly remember. If someone can, can you please post some pictures of it up here as well? Does anyone have any info on this guitar?

What is the guitar that Chris is using in Chinese Sleep Chant? It looks like a mix of about 3 Fenders. Can someone please elaborate?? Thanks!

What Questions (and therefore answers) where asked??

I bought the album yesterday. It's still growing on me. A few of the tracks are great from first listen. Others are not. But like I said, it's getting better after a couple listens. But I'm still a big fan of UTIS era.

If there is one thing I learnt in History, it was that there is never 1 sole factor to blame on any situation. So you can't put all the blame on the government, or the banks, or the legislations etc. It is a snowball effect of all these bad mistakes together.

I'm no expert. But I studied in depth the Great Depression in my final year at school. So, if you look at the similarities between this situation and that one. Would I be right in saying that the way to attempt to solve the problem is to not sell everything. To keep confidence (in the share markets) and also to keep to buying things. In saying that, I doubt it is that simple. But I figure that if everyone tries to horde their money in fear or lack of confidence, companies will go out of business and jobs will be lost etc?
