It says this Septmeber on PBS. Here in Chicago that is channel 11. http://www.spainontheroadagain.com/ I know, the first time I saw her speak spanish I was impressed. Her accent is great. I had more respect for her after that. I thought it was cool that she liked the Spanish culture so much. She probably studied abroad.

She looks nice...I love her shoes...I want to get a pair...but they still don't have too much variety of them here.

I just bought Corrine Bailey Rae, Nelly Furtado, & Rhianna. Can't wait to listen to them.

The last one is the bestest! ::heart:: I found the smileys! I am :) now!

Love this first pic!!!:heart:

I figured it out...I changed the text features ...Now I can see what everyone else sees! I can write in bold again!:D Danke!

Why do I not see a smiley bar? :''( cry

I am very excited for the tickets. I would love to win!!!

I am having trouble doing this poll...i didn't think I would...

Me neither...is their some sort of code on it? ;)

Hahaha...yah I bet they have had to be here at least once in their lifetime...if not the lounge then at least the other forums :) Ian should get them to come over here and have an interview on one of the threads! That would be a fun day! Great marketing! C'mon, you know they want to!

very interesting stats!

:P ;)

I'm old, but new...since I haven't been here for so long I don't know how to use all the smileys anymore :( <insert crying smiley here

on my back :)

Dude, I wish they were in the lounge...I almost believed it... I always wondered if they have ever lurked here. :) Hi guys! If you are reading me at this moment!

Oh...the other thing I remember. During the live shows for AROBTTH, they were playing new songs like, "One I Love" & "Moses." The sound was different and more upbeat. But, I was digging their new songs. I thought these songs or these types of songs would be on the X&Y album. So I was caught off guard when it sounded totally different. Some of my favorites on X&Y are... Speed of Sound, A Message, The Hardest Part, and Swallowed By the Sea. I did like Fix You at first, because of its lyrics and sentiment...helped me through tough times too... but after time it just started sounding more depressing for some reason. I also didn't understand how it caught on so fast...out of all of the songs in the album it was quite different. Chris falsetto is really intense for me at times in this song...and I love his falsetto most of the time. Maybe for me, it was overused? I love his voice btw. X&Y- no comment...let's just say, it has grown on me...kind of :)

Lots of my thoughts exactly...I also worry about the marketing...I actually don't mind the costumes, but it does make me laugh the comment about the gymnastics. I don't hate the X&Y album and their are many good songs on it- I personally preferred the Y songs, but the X songs sounded good live-which is what they probably had in mind (do I agree with this tactic, I don't know...) I agree with the post when they said, "it sounds like they tried a bit too hard, like they were trying to get bigger as well as better, like their image was just as important as the music." That is exactly what I felt. They were marketing themselves more and the music was left a little behind. They also were trying very hard to make a "great" album. I think they should just do what they do best, and that is make good music from the heart...not by any particular standards. It is good to read what others thought, after the album has been out for a while.

Haha!

Guy does really look good in with short hair. I prefer him that way. They all look good. It's a great picture.

They better not be going to Lolla...I will smack someone if they do...I don't have tickets...they are so expensive too. :)

I don't want them to be U2, nor do I think they sound like U2. I don't think they want to be exactly like U2. I just think that they want to be as big as U2 and maybe as popular. I just don't always like hearing when they say they want to make albums that sound good in a stadium. I actually do like U2. They have their own particular sound and do their own thing. They sound great live btw! But, I would never want Coldplay to aspire to be just like them though, because that would take away from their own unique style that they have already created and what I came to like of them in the first place. And yes, "Coldplay should just aspire to be a better Coldplay." Or for me, better yet, just themselves. I don't think they should put all this pressure on themselves when they make their music.

That is so cute! Twins! When I heard that, it made me happy. Rex and Juno are cute names.

Oh, I do not miss the winter! Nor do I think most people miss it either. Although today, it is feeling like winter again! :) When Chris said, the winter is something else. I think he meant "something else!" :) Actually I didn't mind the winter too much this year, but it was one of our longest and most snowiest in a while. But, I do want summer to come now!

Same with me...this is the first song I ever heard of them and it reminds me about when I first ever got into them...that and Don't Panic. When I first heard Yellow and Chris' voice...that is what pulled me into their music. I loved the tone in his voice and their different sound compared to all that was playing at the time. I also remember hearing it riding in the car and enjoying the melody and the mood.
