November 16, 2009 - submitted by Allie, United States of America Q. Hi Oracle, Who is Anton Corbijn? I noticed his name on some remixes like VLV and Talk, and also in a book with a picture of U2 beside his name. What part does he play in Coldplay? Thanks! Allie The Oracle replies: Given your preferred search engine might be broken... Anton Corbijn is a Dutch photographer and director. He's taken a plethora of photos of bands as well as made many splendid videos for some of them.

Hey Ian :) All the best on your B-Day, enjoy your special day and just relax (haha ... best joke ever with little Sam in da house :D ). Thank you so much for providing and maintaining this great place for us :)

:shocked2: Ist die Hülle mit Blattgold eingeschlagen, oder wie?? Versuch's doch mal bei bol.de oder CDWOW bzw. play.com :confused:

Okay, I have just sent a request to the Oracle, maybe this question gets answered and we get to know the whole 'setlist'. That would be amazing :)

What's the song by Sigur Ros called? In case it was mentioned before, sorry ... I haven't read back all the pages. I am currently at the 7digital.com website to download tracks :) I know that they played Magnificent by U2 but that they swopped it to Oasis during the Dublin/UK gigs (probably due to the news that Oasis have splitted up). So any help with other songs is highly appreciated :)

I really loved M83'a 'Skin Of The Night' :) And also Ulrich Schnauss's 'Goodbye' Does anyone have a complete 'setlist' of the music which was played inbetween. :confused: I still remember that it was on loop, so I've heard several songs twice ... ;) Would put together a playlist for my MP3 player with all of the songs :)

*ROFL* Classic! So you mean we better enjoy the following 12 years until the apocalypse starts!?! :laugh3: :sneaky:

New update: Zeya (Australia) - already arrived Natster (South Africa) - already arrived marie/pims (Canada) - already arrived panda86 (Malaysia) - already arrived akasapple (Uruguay) - already arrived nightsurfer (Malaysia) - already arrived rita_teixeira (Portugal) - already arrived

Me too, in a way. I was searching for stuff to do my X-Mas cards when I found a congratulation card I once made for a little baby-boy, so this is kinda spooky that only around 12 hours later Samuel was born ;) So I am back into business, witch-powers rule :laugh3:

Und keiner mehr da war, weil die ganze Strasse dunkel war, oder wie :laugh3: Ist schon irre, dass das schon wieder 20 Jahre her ist. Wie die Zeit rennt ... :shocked2: Wenn ich bedenke, dass ich schon 23 Jahre bei der gleichen Firma arbeite und unsere jüngste Kollegin noch nicht mal so alt ist :laugh3: Die zieht mich immer damit auf, dass sie noch nicht mal Quark im Kühlregal war, als ich bei der Firma anfing ... Aber zurück zum Thema, yep, war damals alles ziemlich bewegend.

He looks like as if he was saying 'Get the paps out of here or I'll punch them in the face. I want to sleep ...' :laugh3: So cute!!! :heart:

Contrats to Ian & Jen :) Have fun with the little bundle of joy!

And the DJ voted for their fave bands as well, here's what it says :D http://www.wdr.de/radio/wdr2/bildergalerie/index.phtml?gal=1987&kap=1&img=2#anker

Okay ... I guess this is MY place :D I have always been into aussie music and everything started way back in the 80's with the band Icehouse, who are still my fave aussie band EVER!! I just wish Iva Davies would get his ass into gear and release something new :( He's a genius musicwise and I know that he keeps working on stuff but I reckon' he's not content with it so he's not releasing it ... *sigh* After that all the other 'famous' aussie bands appeared incl. INXS, John Farnham aso. Right now I am really into Eskimo Joe and right as I type this I am listening to the album 'Conditions' by The Temper Trap. I just can't get enough of the song 'Sweet Disposition'. Apart from that I really like to listen to Tania Moran (google her, search her on MySpace, she's got a wonderful voice!!), Kate Ceberano and Christine Anu :) Also love(d) Invertigo and Taxiride :)

Dafür bräuchten wir dann aber schon einen ausgewachsenen Orkan ;)

Wär' doch nicht schlecht :D Dann wären wir ihn endlich los ... ;) Und je nach Windrichtung landet er dann in Russland oder am Bosporus :laugh3:

Like Ioshi said, I just wish people would use their common sense and sometimes show a little more decency. Some things are better left unsaid and I have come across a lot of stuff which I think is inappropriate or at least needless to be posted. Sometimes even a little disrespectful. After all this is a public place. Anyone can come here and I wouldn't be surprised if 'journalists' or writers for papers come here to find some gossip to create a new story. It happened on other forums from other bands/singers as well ... I don't think a general rule is neccessary as Coldplay are not like the Backstreet Boys, Take That or any other kind of 'boy band' with a huge fangirl following (although I have to admit that some threads would make many fangirls proud :laugh3: ). I reckon' they can mainly lead a normal life without being harrassed by paps. At least Guy, Jonny & Will can do so. :) And IMO Chris is mostly attacked by paps not because he is the SINGER of Coldplay but more because of the fact that he's married to a Hollywood actress. I could be wrong about this as well ... Official forums (meaning run by the artist themselves) often have a so called privacy rule which asks the users not to discuss the members private lifes/families aso. But as this is a forum run by fans and as there are no general rules about the privacy issue fans should use their brain and common sense and stop posting about specific topics. If this doesn't work and admins and moderators think that the privacy issue is getting out of control, then there should general rules about the privacy issues be set up. And honestly speaking I don't see why this (the privacy issue which is practised on 'official forums') shouldn't be practised on a forum run by fans as well. At least that would show some respect to the artist and their families/friends :) However, as I know from experience, if a forum/community has too many rules people stay away and search for another platform to discuss the topic. So I am calling upon people's common sense and decency to use their brain, re-read the post before hitting the 'post reply' button and that's it :) And saying, people shouldn't go to certain threads if they don't want to read discussions about private issues is a lame excuse IMO. Surely the guys know how to deal with fame as they chose their career and the situation slowly evolved. But their families/friends didn't choose to be in the public eye or being followed/shaddowed by paps/crazy fans so have some respect and let these people lead a normal life without stalking them.

YAY!! Pris just got myself and Angie Golden Circle tickets for this one :) Squueeee!!! Thank you soooo much, Pris :D You're a gem!!!

November 2, 2009 - submitted by Jordan, New Zealand Q. Hey Oracle! I was looking at the cassette tape for Ode to Deodorant, and it has Phil's number on it. Could I still contact him on it, or is he guilty of false advertising after all these years? Thanks! The Oracle replies: The only thing Phil's guilty of is changing his phone number many years ago so, no, you wouldn't be able to contact him on the cassette's out of date info.

November 2, 2009 - submitted by Will, Australia Q. Oracle, I was reading the other day that to choose who was the singer for Coldplay Chris, Guy, Will and Jonny wrestled. They did this because they knew that the singer would get all of the publicity. Is this true? Thanks a lot. The Oracle replies: There's no truth in that whatsoever.

November 2, 2009 - submitted by Priyam, United States of America Q. Dear Oracle, If I were to start a band called HotAct...would Coldplay sue me? Thanks. The Oracle replies: They wouldn't sue but since you're here asking... why on earth would you pick such a dreadful name to represent you for all eternity? No offence but I'd go back to the drawing board and try to come up with something better. I don't think you'd be taken seriously using that name either. However, if your band is a Coldplay tribute act, HotAct would be passable.

Oh vielen Dank Sarah :) Ich hatte was anderes, wo man den YT Link eingegeben hat, seine Email-Addy hinzufügt und dann das File per Email geschickt bekommt :) Das hier ist natürlich noch besser :D Allerdings höre ich gerade Elbow 'One Day Like This'. Mir ist gerade mal wieder danach :)

*hust* Ich hatte mal einen Link zu einer 'Anwendung', mit der man YT-Videos rippen konnte (finde den Link aber nicht mehr *heul*). Also sprich die Audio-Datei vom Video zu trennen. Das ging zwar meist zu Lasten der Bit-Rate, sprich Qualität wurde schlechter aber das würde mich momentan nicht so sehr stören ... Ich brauche unbedingt den Track 'Sweet Disposition' von The Temper Trap. Das Album habe ich mir schon bestellt, ist aber noch nicht hier und ich muss den Track unbedingt als MP3 auf meinem Player haben :) Kann mir da jemand helfen? :( Thanks :)

I think this one's cool and a bit spooky because of the blueish touch :)
