*LOL* Sounds like it! I don't know...on my phone there is the little switch on the left and when I click that the phone is silent both if someone calls me or if I play a video. Not sure about the "don't disturb" mode. I´ve rarely used it.

*LOL* I can imagine! Thats funny :) Amazing it was still audible when your phone was in silent mode? haha

Any chance you can use the notebook with the power attached? Or perhaps it doesn't get power even when you remove the battery? I remember a few years ago my notebook battery went bust/did not charge, so I had to just use the power until I could get a new one...bothering :/

Agreed about the teen/early twenties insecurities...probably one of the reasons I cant relate to a lot of those lyrics anymore. (Shiver comes to mind). The closest we come to these kind of lyrics recently (but more in an "adult" fashion) in terms of genre is Ghost Stories, but the style was sparse, direct and raw, not poetic. AHFOD is instead much more "poetic" but with a different approach. I personally don't miss the old lyrics/songs, because I find myself listening to them and enjoying them only when Im quite down, but I can see why other people who perhaps react differently to them (and not only when they are sad like me hehe) might miss them!

I don't know if that song was confirmed? I would probably think Adventure is the best song to represent AHFOD, so I would agree with that choice. It´s still sad to miss the opportunity to hear Hymn live with Beyonce. And most especially if she ends up singing/debuting one of her songs instead! Like....no sense at all in this.

Its really not much time yeah...and I´ve seen some Super Bowl shows today clocking in at 15 minutes even or something like that. So this will definitely be shorter it seems like? Im honestly getting less excited by the hour....but we´ll see. Maybe we will still be surprised by a good show

Well thats an opinion I guess. Hymn is to me as much Coldplay as those you mentioned, moreover their latest album is the culmination of their journey so it would be pointless to celebrate "all that came before" without including what is. As for artistic integrity I don't see it...I see just a sad decision and a missed opportunity. I don't see how "noble" it is not to play one of the songs of the album you are proud of to a wide audience...it would be of detriment to no one to play it and of detriment well to everyone not to play it (both commercially but also because you dont take this opportunity for more people to be introduced to the song, moreover we are deprived of what could have been a very exciting unique opportunity for the song to be played live with Beyonce). I could understand if this was a charity event or similar where understandably you don't want to "steal" the spotlight on the subject at hand and take advantage of the situation to sell your latest single. I would get a case like that, but the Super Bowl? Which in and into itself is the quintessence of "commercial"? Not seeing it... Colplday might have withheld it for the reasons you mentioned. If so, I don't see any sense in it.

ABC Murders coming out today in a few hours actually. Pondering whether to buy it with the 20% discount or wait until much later on when it will be discounted further....hmmm

I would sing "Out and Out" to them....out of the halftime please so I can enjoy Coldplay :)

Interesting. I wonder if this suggests he used to drink too much too often perhaps? Usually people cut totally out what they don't find easy to indulge in in moderation.

Haha no doubt! I always thought the zodiac has a valid base from my experience. However I can see now that I´ve almost finished growing up (a man takes a looooong time LOL) I recognise Im probably a 50/50 mix of Aquarius and Leo as far as my characteristics go :) And happy belated birthday! Mine is coming up

The party starts in about 1 day and 7 hours from now.

Oh? Care to share what that explains exactly? hahahaha But yes Aquarius is one of my favorite signs and its our month this month! :D Birthdays coming up hehe

Hey there fellow aquarian LOL You mean post-party to put a link so people who want to read the comments/review a particular listening party can be directed straight to the beginning? Yes I can do that and good idea! Its never occurred to me so far because well....we´ve never had more than one party yet LOL

Good, so Im still saying Animals :)

Animals (wait, we write the song we want to eliminate from the list, right? )

*LOL* No I see what you mean...but the latest posts here will always be about the latest party and whoever wants to join can see the time and day of when the listening party starts in the first post. :) The first post of the new listening party will officially start together with...the new listening party tomorrow at 10 PM *LOL*

Thank you :) They were always with me inside me :)

I personally think its nice to gather all the listening parties here , so we can scroll back and reminisce :) Also in the first post I made a little summary of the previous party, and the intention was to make summaries/polls for each consecutive party and have a nice list to look at ! :) Anyone who just drops in here for the first time can find all instructions and latest info on the first post

To me it looks good and I love your pic :) More than discuss though I´d say participate or something like "join in"? We shall see if @gai, @Batman or others will be able to promote this

:escaping::facepalm:

Ths sync with time needn't take space. Its among the instructions on the first post of the thread :) So we just need to link it to the first post and they´ll read all they need to know. Pic looks great! I would include "warm up to the Super Bowl with Coldplaying X&Y Listening Party!" or something like that :)

A very insightful article on Super Bowl Halftime show for those of us not familiar with it The 6 best Super Bowl halftime show performances, and what Coldplay should learn from them

Something should be coming up... @gai is working on it I think/hope *lol*
