April 6, 2009 - submitted by Tom, United Kingdom Q. Hallo Oracle man/woman/thing, How are you? (rhetorical!) You see, I have a slight fascination with your album covers, and so I was wondering about a couple of things... - Where was the picture of the band on the back cover of Parachutes taken? - What is the meaning of the code/symbols used for all the X&Y album/single covers, and is it true (as I hear) that on the X&Y album cover there is a (deliberate?) mistake? The Oracle replies: The photos for Parachutes were taken in Blackpool by Tom Sheehan on Saturday 6th May 2000, the day after the band supported Embrace at Tower Ballroom. Pretty sure I've mentioned it before but the X&Y sleeve is based on the Baudot code and there's no (deliberate) mistake that I know of. April 6, 2009 - submitted by Emmanuel Z, Australia Q. In my life so far, I've pretty much lived up to the law of my last name (Murphy's), or to paraphrase a soft rock god, every gun I've ever held HAS gone off. the latest 'will go wrong'... being diagnosed, at age 28, with a serious congenital heart defect which requires immediate surgery. The defect is 'rare' in children and almost never diagnosed in adults (its called Patent Ductus Arteriosus). I'm freaked out about the surgery (not least becase this condition is so rarely diagnosed in adults that the major hospital here doesn't even have the equipment or parts to perform the surgery)but, to be honest, more alarmed at the fact that my life seems to be a succession of smaller and larger disasters, one after the other. I'd hoped this would be something I'd 'grow out of', but, as 29 looms, it hasn't happened yet. It's not just the heart defect, or the gall stones diagnosed at 22, or the kidney stones shortly after that, or even that I snapped the bones in my foot while playing playstation. It's not even just health related. Everything seems to go wrong, or at the very least, be quite sideways-ish. Is the universe trying to tell me something? Am I causing/ perpetuating this eternal 'rainy day'? Is positive thinking the key to a life lived largely outside the emergency room? Thanks Oracle The Oracle replies: It's awful that you've had so many set backs and obstacles to overcome but you really need to think more about what YOU are telling the Universe. I can't guarantee that your health issues will benefit greatly from my belief that positive thinking is essential if you are to make any changes. What seems to occur regularly is a vicious circle of negative if you constantly think that way. What would it hurt to try and think positive thoughts? Rather than expecting bad things to happen (and I believe that can often perpetuate a self-fulfilling prophecy), expect good things to happen. You've had a bad run so I can hardly blame you for feeling down about your lot but give it a go. It seems you have nothing to lose. Practice affirmations every day and soon you may feel lighter and brighter. I found some examples for you but make up your own to suit yourself. You might feel a little ridiculous at first but hey, if it does end up working for you, no harm done! I always think it's best to try anything and everything to improve your situation and if it's safe and free, all the better! Good luck. April 6, 2009 - submitted by Maeva, France Q. Dear Oracle !! I need your help to decide where I should go for my next holidays. Here the thing: as I'm single and all my friends are going on holidays with their respective gf/bf I'll travel alone (which is ok as I'm use to it), I'm a big fan of music and cinema and I would like to go to a sunny place so what is the best place with all those characteristics where I can have fun and enjoy myself? Thanks for your help !! If I know where to address it, I'll send you a postcard (from faraway) ;) Cheers, Maeva The Oracle replies: How about Barcelona? You could go in June and maybe go to the Sonar festival. It's held from 18-20th and features music, art and film. The weather should be great then too. The city has an amazing history with so many places of interest, great food and fabulous location. You're near the beach too so you can combine all your needs and chill out too.
