U2 vs. Coldplay
As much as I love Coldplay, U2 will always be my favorite band. That being said, I hear no similarities between the two, except that Coldplay is influenced by U2.

Jimmy Eat World!!!
I've just discovered this band a few days ago. So far, I have Chase This Light, Futures, Clarity, and Static Prevails. Clarity is still growing on me, but I absolutely love the other three. I heard they're working on a new album, hope it's good! Chase This Light is one of their best albums. EDIT: I've been playing Clarity all day. What a great album. :)

U2
The new album is excellent! I think it's up there with The Unforgettable Fire, The Joshua Tree, Achtung Baby, and Zooropa.

It's not available on Itunes USA yet, but it's in the multimedia forum. That's where I got it. :)

Are 'deluxe' albums worth it?
I like it when Deluxe albums come out years after the album release, with a bonus disc of b-sides and outtakes (like what U2, Radiohead, and Depeche Mode have done.) It's even better if they're remastered with better sound. If it falls into that group, I'm always willing to rebuy the album to get the extra stuff.

Gaza...in my heart...on my mind
I don't believe that all governments are terrorists. There are some decent people in government, but it gets really dangerous when a terrorist or some really dishonest person gets elected (George Bush, for one.) Governments are there to provide order, everything would fall apart without them. Hamas were a terrorist organization long before they were elected. This is a group that will grab little children off the streets and use them as a human shield when bombs and rockets are flying towards them, or fire from school buildings full of little children, so that the Israelis are provoked into blowing it up, and little children are killed. They're not decent, they're evil, and they're waging a war against Israel (who were trying to settle this thing peacefully, and have now proceeded to extreme measures.) I don't agree with what Israel is doing right now, but it's a hell of a lot better than what Hamas were and are doing. Israel is only defending themselves, Hamas have been killing innocent civilians (including children) in Israel for 8 years. I understand their frustration.

Green Day
I like Green Day, but I don't own any of their albums or songs, I've just heard the songs on the radio. They're very good, though. I remember music circa 1995-1997, you couldn't escape Green Day, they were everywhere!

It was snowing all day here today. It's also unbearably cold outside, I'm really glad that I have a nice toasty house to stay inside.

The Church of Chris Martin. (Update: Have declared a TRUCE to the holy war on Coldplaying!)
Man, that site is really freaky. Comparing Chris Martin to Jesus is not cool.
