Haha, loving Chris' shirt there :D Jamie was awesome! I was expecting him to burst into tears of happiness live on air :laugh3: But yeah, Will went on for agessss answering your question man! It rocked! :dance:

Thank you so much for your message duckette! :nice: I really appreciate the thought. I would have had no idea otherwise, so it was really only down to luck that they had sold out when I checked it out, never mind. Congratulations with getting ticketttts! :dance:

Noooo i missed it :bigcry:

You're a legend mate!

:dance:

Good luck Jamie! :dance:

Where does it say the 12th as a US release date? I thought it was only a rumour?

That "hot air" thing cracked me up :laugh3: Oh man.

Yeah, I forgot about that bit in the interview. That would explain it :dozey: True about some songs having the running, jumping (and occasionally climbing) from Chris, but in small doses that can be quite fun when the rest of the songs are performed impeccably. Whereas recently it seems like you get lucky when Chris isn't moving around, which is a shame. Even in the most recent performances when he's standing relatively still, I can't help but think that he just doesn't sing as well as he used to. Whatever happened to the time during the Parachutes era when he could hit and hold every note he sung? Here's a perfect example of what I wish we could see from Chris these days... an impeccable performance: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5mODLapbbPY&feature=related See? image ISN'T everything.

Oh my God. What a story. :stunned: Where the hell was this!? Thats absolutely crazy. EDIT: Oh, a ghetto in Toronto, wow. I hope no one got seriously hurt, but somehow I doubt that :sad: That is the freakiest thing I've read all day.

Exactly :wink: I think its about time we saw some Parachutes / AROBTTH-era-calmness and professionalism from Chris... oh how I miss the days when it was just him at the piano in his average t-shirt and trousers, and singing soulfully without being distracted. Unless he decides to start screeming in agony, I think this can only be a good thing for you guys going to these gigs :D

Ouch. That's not good news :\ He really needs to stop jumping around all over the place, to be honest. Not only will it make for a more convincing vocal performance, but it reduces risks of injury like this one. Really, he isn't a gymnast. I hope he's ok though... I'm glad he isn't cancelling shows because of it.

Mine came in at 10:38 I think. That's why I'm so gutted... because I thought it was first come first serve. I wouldn't have bothered otherwise. Grrr :rolleyes: But still, have a great time whoever won! I'll be sobbing miserably into my gatefold VLVODAAHF CD on wednesday, thats for sure :P

I think I'll be getting it from Zavvi (Virgin Megastores), since the Gatefold edition is only £8 there! :dance: http://www.zavvi.co.uk/productdetails.jsf?code=854764&tab=1#productTabsContainer

:bigcry: Only kidding, Congratulations! :nice:

YESSSSS! :dance: A stripped down version of Shiver sounds awesome! But I'm hoping for other unreleased songs too, like Deserter. And maybe So Sad? Ah! Exciting times! :D

I think I'm getting up early tomorrow to go buy the album, so I'll have a crack at recording it while I'm out and about! But no guarantees... I will TRY, though. And I agree, this is absolutely amazing :D I think writing your thoughts down is definitely the best way to go about it, and make sure you say/ask what YOU want to say! A coldplaying mention would be a bonus, but if you're pressed for time, its not going to be the end of the world. GOOD LUCK FOR TOMORROW! :dance:

For me: Square One vs. Life in Technicolor: Square One What If vs. Cemeteries of London: Cemeteries of London White Shadows vs. Lost!: DRAW (I really can't decide, leaning towards Lost! though) Fix You vs. 42: 42 Talk vs. Lovers in Japan: Lovers In Japan X&Y vs. Reign of Love: X&Y Speed of Sound vs. Yes: DRAW (I like them for different reasons) A Message vs. Chinese Sleep Chant: A Message Low vs. Viva la Vida: Viva La Vida The Hardest Part vs. Violet Hill: Violet Hill Swallowed in the Sea vs. Strawberry Swing: Strawberry Swing (I love both equally I think, but SS inches forward, probably because its newer) Twisted Logic vs. Death and All His Friends: Death and All His Friends 'til Kingdom Come vs. The Escapist: The Escapist (Kindom is better live, I'm not really feeling it on the record though, but its a close call) Overall scores: X&Y: 3 VLVODAAHF: 8 Draw: 2 VLV Wins! :dance:

Hmm, I just read this: I thought it was first come first serve?! :bigcry:

That's great, well done! :D When did you get your email?

WOW! :stunned: THATS FRICKING AWESOME! :dance:

Ah, congratulations man! :D I Knew you would win :dance: I'm disappointed, though. I guess it was those few seconds I wasted re-filling in a box on the form page screwed my chances. Shit. Ah well. Enjoy yourself mate!

Square One Vs Life In Technicolor

Crayon certainly doesn't help at all. I think the lyrics along the left edge read: "Still I think of you ... " "Whole life living in the past ... " Must be an unreleased song. But the question is, why would they include these pictures when the lyrics don't actually refer to the album?

^I'm seeing the word "Hourglass" near the top, and 'glass' in 2 more places... a B-side, maybe? Or does that word pop up in one of the songs?
