The National is gonna give a bunch of shows with St. Vincent which is, in my opinion, one of the best things ever. I'm gonna see them in Cologne and the venue looks pretty great. http://www.koelnkongress.de/wEnglisch/locations/tanzbrunnen/

Sometimes I feel like I barely listen to anything but Canadian (indie) bands. This is definitely one of my favorites.

Damn, I failed at Coldplaying.

Might use this thread to catch up on some releases I haven't had the chance to listen to yet. I'm usually pretty far behind in listening to new releases, especially when it involves checking out new bands. So far I've only really listened to new albums by St. Vincent,Tokyo Police Club (both really good) and Metronomy (pretty decent, especially live) and I just downloaded the Kevin Drew album.

The Canadian band Arkells is supposed to release something this year. Here's one of their new songs: [video=youtube;MbVZYpkOxAk] Definitely a band worth checking out, they've released two albums so far.

It's a thread about ghost stories. Therefore, your picture is somewhat appropriate, though it barely contributes to the purpose of the thread. EDIT: THIS POST WAS IN REPLY TO A NOW DELETED POST. THE MAN BEHIND THE CURTAIN STRIKES AGAIN?!

Peter Dinklage is amazing. The entire cast is actually pretty fantastic, I'm personally loving Diana Rigg as Margaery's grandma.

Who has any?

Her new album is very good. I'm actually seeing her in Germany when she opens for The National, which will be amazing.

Be careful or you'll be "cleaned up" too.

His way of interviewing just bothered me a bit. Ofcourse this is my opinion, but he tries so hard to appear "cool" and "funny" and he was either sucking up to Chris or asking lame questions. It's still nice to get some more background on the album, I just think Zane Lowe is too present.

Zane Lowe is very annoying.

ENGLISCH BITTE!!!!

It will probably be easy to get your hands on through ebay or whatever.

Or maybe it's a hidden track. Or the Oracle could be FUCKING WITH OUR BRAINS.

THE PLOT THICKENS...

I miss dem b-sides. AROBTTH had like seven of them plus a lot of live songs on certain releases. Good times.

Setlist confirmed yet? Where does GPASUYF fit in (if played)? http://www.setlist.fm/setlist/coldplay/2013/hammersmith-apollo-london-england-7bc466f8.html
