wow...i just d/l a bunch of b-sides/rarities from a link on atease and the connection is sooooo fast I nearly puked! and this guy/girl/most-likely-guy has over 50 mp3's!! it is soooo retarded! sorry if i sound like a giddy girl, but i'm rather excited about finally listening to songs of which i've heard so much!!! PS it's on atease in the main forum under "b-sides/rare"

Is the CP 2004 calendar worth GBP 10.00? Oh, and what are the dimensions?

((((((everyone)))))) and special *Pooh hugs* to all of us who are lost. badlydrawngirl, thx for bringing the champagne!

hey, fifi...looks like your devil-prodding worked on ian! that can be your secret weapon... :lol: and remember...you need the rain so that everything stays sooooo green! :)

Happy new year...woo-hoo! Feliz ano novo!!! Joyeux nouvel an!! ;) :D

this includes u too, ian! right?! phew! I knew you wouldn't leave us "high and dry"! :P :D

Have a wicked, but safe, NYE, all you fellow radioheads!!!! just remember... "don't leave me high don't leave me dry" (woo-hoo! they're playing this on xfm (uk) right now!)

ian rox!!!! :D

hmm... I can't seem to find See You Soon in there.

i care! mmm...sweets! i'm a total sweet tooth! :) just need a burner to "hide" some of my sweets! :lol:

yeah, i don't watch this kinda stuff either (reality tv, etc) but I was baking (oh-so-yummy chocolate chewy gingerbread cookies) and nothing else was on, so I thought, ah, why not. I thought Diana, the Arab Idol, was really good. Kudos for being the only one to sing in a foreign language. I thought you could feel and understand, in a way, what she was singing. After all, music is an international language, right? other than her, it was pretty much a glitzy, kitschy over-blown karaoke production. I thought fellow Cannuck Ryan Malcolm coulda done better...i liked the Norwegian and the Aussie. thought they had unique style it'd be soooo great if an underdog would win...that is, if i actually cared who will win! :lol:

twin4life...I've seen GPASUYF here, in Canada. Can't recall the tracklisting, but I think it's only 01. GPASUYF, 02. Murder. You should be able to find it at hmv and the like. I'm lucky enough to have the Australian release. :D

have u finished your read? :lol: JOYEUX NOËL!!!

again, thx radi0ed!! oh, btw, is Thom singin' "Idioteque" in your avatar? i'm just curious and taking a guess.

hey, radi0ed... what's the mince-spies 'bout? (ie what tracks r on it?) i admit, i've never really heard about it. and the d/l is only for pc users, so i'm left out in the cold on this one. though i have heard it on virgin 2 times already!

thx for the update,radi0ed!

haven't put up the Christmas tree yet. gonna catch the late night news... 22:58

^wow...i thought for sure that'd be too long to post! and i totally *luv* the last quote!!! made me laugh, which is good when you're feeling sad.

there's about 1 & 3/4 pages of the spin article after the bit posted on thei website..kinda long to type up, but here are 3 of my fave paragraphs to help you along... (this 1st para. follows the last one on spin.com) -------- “Yeah? How was it?” Martin asks playfully. After he signs an autograph, other fans stop to say hello, shake hands, and snap photos. He obliges them all, but by the third picture, he pulls his gray hood over his head. A middle-aged blonde poses by his side, turns to him, and ask, “Who are you?” Martin stares at her: "What?” She laughs,m then says, “Just kidding!” Martin looks relieved but skeptical. He knows people see his face and recognize him “because of who my girlfriend is.” And part of the reason the press is intrigued by Martin’s relationship is that they think he’s otherwise boring. .... Indeed, it was the band’s workaholism, fueled by Martin’s relentless self-doubt, that enabled Coldplay to become the only U.K. act in recent years to make the leap from cult status to mainstream pop stardom in America. “Besides Radiohead,” Martin points out. But while Radiohead’s Hail to the Thief may have entered the chart at No. 3, it got little radio play and plummeted each week. Martin shakes his head. “I owe everything to Thom Yorke.” -Do you know that Yorke told a reporter that Coldplay is an example of how popular become ‘lifestyle music?’ -Martin looks pained. “What is lifestyle music?” he asks. -It's music that loft dwellers listen to as they sip chardonnay and eat risotto - stuff like Norah Jones or Dido. -“Oh, that’s the worst.” -Not to bum you out- -“No, it’s fine. Everyone hates us.” ... “It’s very seldom now that i want to write a tiny, little song,” he says. “I want it to have loudness and lots of melody and be a big sing-along. My dream is to write an album of sing-alongs. I want some 50-year-old guy in his Audi to be singing on his way to work, looking like a total nerd but feeling really happy.”
