September 26, 2008 - submitted by Therry, Austria Q. Dear Oracle, I've heard you know everything so you may help me. I'm probably the shyest person in the whole wide world and I want to know, what I should do if I ever meet someone like the guys from Coldplay. I wouldn't be able to say a word! Maybe you can give me an advise. Thanks! (oh and sorry for my english... it's not my mothertounge ^^") The Oracle replies: I totally understand what it's like to meet someone who I admire and have been victim of shaky legs, trembling hands and nervous stomach but I remind myself that whoever they are, they're people so treat them the same as I would anyone else. It's quite hard because you can get tongue tied so maybe plan what you would say now and who knows one day it may come in handy to be prepared! Oooh and I once saw Bj�rk on holiday in Marbella back in 1992. I didn't want to disturb her but wanted to tell her how amazing I thought [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SaL-83UeHeI]Hit[/ame] was, so I did. She said, "Thank you very much" and that was that. It was short but sweet! September 26, 2008 - submitted by Billy, United States of America Q. Dear Oracle, during your upcoming show.....shall I sit or stand? The Oracle replies: The floor is usually all standing but if you are in the seated area, I think if you wanna get up and dance do, but be aware you could be blocking the view of people behind who may then ask you to sit. There are certain songs (Viva la Vida for example) that everyone will jump up for so you won't always be glued to your seat. September 26, 2008 - submitted by Lore, Chile Q. Hello Oracle... If you could choose one Coldplay song that they haven't played in a long time (or an old song that they haven't played before)... which one would you choose to include it in the setlist? The Oracle replies: I'd have to say Such a Rush, which was almost a contender on the Twisted Logic tour, although anything from Parachutes would be a treat (except Yellow & Trouble as they're already out there). GO LORE!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm just going to get out the spelt flour and brown rice syrup now and whip those bad boys up:dozey:

Damn straight they have:D Noelia, I think you may just have enough Coldplay karma to pull this one off;) :kiss:

POSITIVE VIBES POSITIVE VIBES POSITIVE VIBES POSITIVE VIBES :cool: :kiss:

DROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL

I go totally zen in situations like that...I would have been a perfect winner! We need a contest like this for US peeps...

what kind of goon would do that?:uhoh2: :D

OK, am I the only one who thinks that the guys in the actual band Coldplay might be weirded out by the guy who is in a band that pretends to be Coldplay?:lol:

And because whenever I see that bulgy pic all I can stare at is THE BULGE - I have just now noticed that Jonny has a 42 written on his shirt! :laugh3:

Coldplay in Vienna So, this was a week to remember. For several reasons. But the most importaint one was two great concerts in two days. Following Madonna, i came back to Vienna to shoot Coldplay in Stadthalle. I have never been in this hall before, and it is just amazing. Huge, packed with 15.000 people. Coldplay rocked like i never imagined. Their music seems more intimate on CDs but when they play, it comes alive big time and they really go super loud. For us, it was the normal procedure, 3 songs, again some limitations. We were only allowed to stay next to left hand stage extension. This meant no moving as there was no place to go anywhere. Time flies, especially when singer like Chris Martin jumps like crazy, runs and turns all over the place. At the very end of the third song, he and Jonny Buckland, the quitar player came right at the end of the extension. Briefly, but i couldn't go at the end of the extension to get the ideal position. Sometimes this happens and it is not a good feeling, but it also means you have to take what you have and make the most out of the position you have. I quickly decided to go down a bit and catch a silhouette of Chris Martin as he felt on his knees. Bang, and it was over and we were out. I managed to get back to enjoy the show and kept my mouth open most of the time. So cool Coldplay! at 16:57 http://fotorocker.blogspot.com/2008/09/coldplay-in-vienna.html

Mom: Gwyneth's Marriage Works 'Beautifully' Originally posted Thursday September 25, 2008 11:35 AM EDT Chris Martin and Gwyneth Paltrow Photo by: Ben Dome / Pacific Coast News; Splash News Online There's something musical about Gwyneth Paltrow's relationship with Chris Martin, the actress's mother says. Their marriage works "beautifully," Blythe Danner, 65, tells New York's Daily News. "There's something in the musicality of their world. It's not just what they do, but their rhythm, the way they are together." Of course, there's also another love in Paltrow's life these days: cooking. Spain ... On The Road Again, her food series with her chef pal Mario Batali, premiered this week on PBS. "I cook all the meals for my house," Paltrow, 35, told PEOPLE in New York Sunday at the launch party. "I really love to cook." – Chris Willard

September 25, 2008 - submitted by yukie, Japan Q. I read Q&A with Guy. I seems that next released album is going to be last. Each members look like enjoying themselves. And it must be hard to play everyday,your schedule looks hard. No time to go home... Is this inference incorrect? The Oracle replies: Don't worry, all the guys have interests outside of the band but that doesn't mean they're looking for new careers. Guy's photography is a hobby, the photos may materialize in a book one day but that wouldn't interfere with the band. In fact, being in the band helps him hone his skills and he gets to take amazing photos all over the world. That's called killing two birds with one stone. For anyone who missed it here's the interview with Guy. September 25, 2008 - submitted by Mariano, Venezuela Q. Hello Oracle! Can you please tell us if Postcards From Far Away is purely instrumental as presented on Tour or it has lyrics? GRACIAS! The Oracle replies: It is the same as the tour version. Sublime isn't it? Some people assume it's a classical piece and don't realize it's actually the aforementioned Postcards... September 25, 2008 - submitted by Alex, United States of America Q. Did the band let the NRA use their song "Clocks" in a recent anti-Obama ad? [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6hvhZgUhpCE]YouTube - New NRA Ad - Defend Freedom, Defeat Obama[/ame] The Oracle replies: No they didn't. That's a cover version not the original song and there's nothing to stop people doing that. I guess their publisher would be interested to know!
