Wow, this is amazing! My favourite part is the background with the fluorescent butterflies. It's incredible. I wish I had vocabulary and knowledge enough to express how much I appreciate your art.

^Couldn't agree more. The band will end up pissed pff rather than happy, honestly.

It took me a while to remember when was it they I say Jonny playing piano. So Jonny plays it at least in one song, Sparks (quite briefly). Check this performance: [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8vi8GsW5m3o]coldplay performing sparks live at the big day out 2001 - YouTube[/ame] Here is a newer one: [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gw-J3eaDe3o]Coldplay - Sparks - YouTube[/ame] But the photo below I haven't seen before. Do you know the sourse or when it was taken? Anyway, here is my wallpaper: Usually, I use this one:

Wait, what do you mean Chris is not that puppy? :P Unreasonable post, I know, but I shall be forgiven because Chris is just too nice to believe.

Fine, though I think I over-worry so much that I won't enjoy it for long.

:lol: Enjoy, that must be a one-off thing.

Happy birthday! :D

^Indeed :nod: At least nowadays he is standing out more on the albums. Jonny is doing an absolutely fine job in songs like HLH and MM. As for the list of nominees: yes, very weird and random combination, but it's cool to see that people recognize Jonny's existence. Often, when people mention Coldplay, it's all about Chris. It would be even nicer if people got his name spelled right. I know it's not obvious that there is no 'h', but a quick check on google won't hurt, you know.

^Thanks! That makes sense. I was trying to look up what 'mkII' stands for, but most of the results were about 'Mortal Kombat II' :laugh3: I think it's something like 'mark two' and it was extended to things other than manufectured products. --- Anyway, it still saddens me.

Much better :lol:

Did you see that there will be extra musicians on stage for their upcoming shows? https://twitter.com/#!/about_Editors/status/193410387062947842

^^Yes :wacky: But then, after reading what you said, I looked at the picture again and noticed the guy with a big camera on his hands. Get out of there, man :angry: :P

Juanita Stein (Howling Bells) also performs backing vocals on UWITB. /I'mboring,Iknow.

I hate it when I use a text editor for days, get used to its keyboard shortcuts and then I have to use another text editor, with another range of shortcuts, but keep using the shortcuts of the first one :angry:

Indeed. I know I'll be accused of not understanding sarcasm (oftentimes, it is true), but you actually said "I'm a crazy dazzled fangirl, but if you don't like MX I'm not gonna say 'booo you're not a true Coldplay fan!' That's BS.", so there isn't really room for a joke.

Being a fan of a band doesn't mean you'll blindly like whatever that band does (if you do happen to like everything, but without forgetting some sense of criticism it's ok, I guess). If you don't like Coldplay newest material, you still have the songs you've fallen in love with in the first place. As long as that connection doesn't die away and these songs bear some meaning to you, I think you're still a fan if that word means so much to you. I think Will's answer in a recent interview may fit in: Also, although it's sort of natural to, besides listening to their songs, reading all sorts of articles, interviews and the like, this is not necessarily entailed by the definition of being a fan (though I emphasise the two things go together as often as not). Each person express their love and enthusiasm in their own way and it may change as time goes by, as already mentioned above. The same applies to collecting Coldplay-related things.

Alors, je viens d'appendre une nouvelle phrase :lol:

Merci bien :)

Je ne savais pas qu'il avait ce forum ici. J'essaie d'aprendre français tout seule parce que je ne suis pas très patiente et je pense que c'est plus vite comme ça. Peut-être, je peux parler avec vous pour m'entraîner un petit peu. Je peux lire et écouter/entendre, mais parler et écrire sont très difficiles pour moi. (I'm sorry for subjecting you guys to my dreadful French :disappointed: )

I think quite a few girls have done it in the past. If I'm not mistaken, someone once threw a bra at Chris and he dodged away :lol:

Honestly, Rihanna looks as if she's dying boredom. And what of these arms and stuff behind her? The part where she is wearing something with very long sleeves was pretty good, but it could've been better if she didn't look so annoyed. I'm not saying this just to join the 'let's show some hatred over this song wagon', I just think it's not a good video. As for using backing tracks/pre-recorded tracks (hope that's the correct name), I do think they have plenty of choices to avoid doing so. I'm not against technology, I just think that using this kind of thing steals some part of the 'magic' that is creating music live before your eyes. If that (keeping everything as live as possible) entails not playing PoC live (because no one else can do Rihanna's bit live), then be it and screw the upcoming promo. There are things more important than that single, if you ask me.

As already mentioned, we've heard this plenty of times before. Chris does say 'this is our last [x]' from time to time, but he probably means that they've put some effort on such a thing (most of times, their latest album at the occasion), that they feel as if they had nothing left to do afterwards. When it's time for their last album and tour, then we'll have very little to do about it, but I don't think (neither do I hope) it'll be anytime soon.

A couple of weeks ago, I started reading 'A game of thrones'. I'm enjoying it a lot. In the past few months, I've read some fascinating books, but this is by far one of the most absorbing.

I don't use it. I'm not trying to be one of those 'too cool for school' kids, but as of late I quite simply don't feel like using social networks like that anymore. I don't know why, I just don't feel like using it. Also, I think orkut was a bit more functional in the sense that it's forums were better organised. (btw, I'm not judging anyone who uses it. The only complaint I have is when I have to use the uni's computers and the room is full, but a lot of people seem to go there just to check facebook when people are queueing to actually do something uni-related. It's very annoying.)

Thanks :) :nod:
