Just look at some of those rhymes and lyrics. I don't see how you can think they're good especially when you try to read them outloud The melody of that song is good, but I cringe at the lyrics when I hear them. Of course I have to hear the song before I judge, but lately the band has not been impressing me, from their image and trying to hard to be something they are not to their change in sound to appeal to a specific audience to most importantly Chris Martins sloppy lyric writing. If he really has trouble with lyrics then make it a collaborative effort, but I find them embarrassing. And it's not as if it's just one song but a lot of his songs.

no not at all... I was actually thinking the same thing

I'm calling it now... This song will be the new Friday

I already have problems with this song and I haven't even heard it. The lyrics... holy crap the lyrics are horrendous. I mean honestly does Chris Martin just take like 5 minutes to write all the lyrics to a song? It should be an in depth process. Also I think they look a bit ridiculous in the new photos as well... why do you need to dress up and/or wear make up... just be yourself. It's like they're trying too hard to fit in. Their first two albums they never needed to put up any kind of image. I really hope I like their new album and songs after being disappointed looking back with their last two albums (Though I loved X&Y initially). So far they aren't doing a good job in convincing me.

looks stupid to me

hmm... I guess maybe Sunday since I think I gave like a week for the other one. But since you're hosting it it's up to you I guess

Yup... I'm sending them out right away... just wanted to try something different for a change.

This is going to be a really close poll

^hey! you copied Lauren's awesome lineup of emoticons! ...or actually the image of it.

umm... I guess whenever

haha no... I think I got to that before I started the thread

I got to 10,000 not too long ago

I don't really have much of a say on the topic being i don't know too much about it. People such as in the media here talk about how good it is, however you really can't trust what they say...haha I personally thing that the best method of energy is solar. To be honest when I get my own home I'd like to have my electricity run on solar powered panels. Yes they may be expensive at first, but I think in the end it'd be worth it, not only saving money in the long run but helping out the environment.

bump... (especially due to the discussion in the News& Sports area) previous years

^I'd have to agree with both of you for different reasons. Chuck I agree that spending put into campaigns and advertising is wrong because you cannot really get any candidates who can win the presidency besides Republicans or Democrats even if you were to combine all efforts by all 3rd parties. The Tea Party is the closest thing we have though they're just an extension of the Republican party and I personally think it's just an excuse for a party for racists. I do agree with you though Saffire in that it's not really fair to see people work their asses off but other millionares are shown on tv and as you said incentive to overthrow is limited. Also with cops treating people the way they do (i mean going back to that jefferson memorial video), I don't see any overthrow happening. I also agree that it all has to do with what we teach our children in schools. My friend was discussing and telling me of many attrocities that the US has committed especially in like Venezuela (I think), and our whole mindset to Cuba at the time. I couldn't believe it and also how sided it was towards America being right when from an outside point of view that isn't the case. However that being said I do feel that at least in this day and age Government is necessary in some sense. I feel that there is a large majority of the world that needs this because of either their morals towards other humans over such stupid shit (like gender, religion, race, orientation, etc) or some people are not fully civilized and might just turn the world upside down. Also some things are somewhat necessary for the government such as the FDA, working conditions, etc. I think you need these because companies on their own might try to cut corners. I mean even you could see things like the Jungle where they mentioned how meat was handled. Or even on a personal level I have been to restaurants that were closed due to health reasons. I think in some sense government is necessary to keep things in line in some sense. However I feel that it's more of like what the ultimate goal of a parent is... basically just to possibly help guide some uneducated or misguided people, but never going over that step in really interfering. Also I agree with your religion argument. I feel it is the source of so many problems being that so many people are misguided and have views on certian topics based on that. But that's another discussion for another time.

yup... ties move on to the next round

yeah no problem!

oh I see... to add more bands of course you can just listen to artists and scrobble them, or if you can just go to an artists page and to the right of their picture it says "Add to my Library"

all you have to do is if you already have the songs on your computer like in folders you just drag the files to itunes, or in the file menu there should be add to itunes library. If it's a cd you just have to put it in your computer and then import the cd... hope that helps!

Are you using iTunes?

Starting to send out a whole bunch of mixtapes I have received thus far...

I've received a few mixtapes already... I'll probably send them out a little be later

sure... that'd be great Lore... thank you muchly!

I actually don't know them that well at all... I'm just going since my brother asked me so if someone could make me a playlist that'd be great! :D

seeing Other Lives in about a week, and then Andrew Bird and Beirut
