Hey everyone! I can't hang out today, but just saw this on the SP board... Gary's got a new post up regarding the Reworked Tour and I thought those of you who've got a show coming up would be interested....

LOVE IT. hilarious, sweet and the music is fantastic!

Congratulations, Ian and Jen! Welcome to the world, baby Samuel! :nice: a song for the beautiful boy: [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uldu_1-JCJE]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uldu_1-JCJE[/ame] :heart: I sing this one to my beautiful boy.

Yeah, you've definitely got to get up to speed on season 5... a ton of things were revealed (at least partially ;) ) looking forward to January, but sad that this will be the last season! :bigcry:

^Thanks! I'll have to try Persuasion out next, then.

AH! It was tonight?? How was it? (as if I even need to ask)

@bjaiken- you're absolutely right... it's just strange (in a way) because I've been closely following them since The Joshua Tree, when they were still pretty young! I guess I should just be glad that they're still making relevant, incredible music all these years later.

Oh! enjoy, enjoy! All I Want Is You has always been one of my favorites! Alright. I clicked and you were right. That looks amazing. Absolutely amazing. But I do have to say, it saddens me a bit to watch Bono in HD and see all the evidence of his aging.

Sorry for the double post, but I just found this on the SP forum and thought it could be cool to follow... oh, and one more tidbit from the SP forum... here's a link to a nice little interview with Nathan: http://watchmojo.com/index.php?id=7481

Kimmi- is this for the pub trivia?? If so, I haven't come across that one yet. Yikes!

any Distant Echo-ers on?? I Need help!!

^Yes, that's what I'm hoping. I've heard possibly March/April/May here in the US. Fingers crossed! ;)

Darcy- this may be ubiquitous, but it's never cliche. LOVE IT.

@Bernard- was the above review YOUR review? It was fantastic! sounds like an awesome show... I hope I get a chance to see it soon!

2nd row... awesome! is it seated? :facepalm: nevermind. that was a DUMB question! :rolleyes:

^rub it in, Kite! :P @Bianca- thanks for the treasure trove of stuff!! I loved the article on his beard. :P and I quite like the Tired Pony song. I could definitely see what he was saying about the lyrics not all being there just yet, but I like the sound of it. and I can't believe there are commericals for Up to Now! Even when SP was playing IN MY TOWN, there was not so much as a mention of it on the radio. :(

Ready!!! :D *rubs hands together in anticipation* @Rad-Cold- thanks for the link! :nice:

I'll second the recommendations for Vivaldi and Handel- absolutely beautiful. Some great specific symphonies- Beethoven's Symphony no. 5 "Fate" Dvorak's "New World" Symphony- No. 9, I believe Tchaichovsky also had some beautiful symphonies- apart from the Nutcracker- there's Swan Lake, and Sleeping Beauty. I personally love music composed for piano, so I love a lot of Chopin, Lizst, and Rachmaninoff, too. A great kind of sampler of those three composers, plus some Beethoven and Vivaldi thrown in, is the soundtrack to the movie Shine. The movie itself is excellent, and I love the soundtrack. :) and thanks, Space Cadet, for the music lesson. I love the music, but know very little about the eras and what differentiates them! :)

what kind of stuff are you liking most? Which composers?

^boo, hiss! I understand the need to have crowd control, but couldn't they have used something less evocative of THE Wall??

^yay, Kimmi... that's so exciting! I want pics of it when you get it! :P Found this cool article to get you guys hyped for your upcoming shows: http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/showbiz/music/2716008/Snow-Patrol-rock-their-local-pub.html#ixzz0W0geRAHH and it came with this pic and I just couldn't resist posting it here... :wacky:

today I'm loving MK Ultra

:hug: Yeah, I'm sure being there was 1 million times better! :wacky: I haven't really heard any Reindeer Section other than little sample snippets. but I like what I've heard! I just need to get it already! So jealous of all of you going to the Reworked gigs! can't wait to hear all about them!! :nice: you have abandoned us, Michael! Shame! :whip: I've been resisting the leak, too. And I think I've done a really stupid thing. I told my husband that all I wanted for xmas was the deluxe cd/dvd set (my 3 coldplay shows this year were my big present! :P). But now, I DON"T THINK I CAN WAIT THAT LOOOOONNNNGGG!!!!! :bomb: aaargh! I'm not going to click! I'm not going to click! I'm not going to click! :uhoh: and Bianca- why do we have to remind you to show us something tomorrow? Why can't you show us NOW?? ;)

How was the Bronte book? The only one I've read that I've liked so far is Jane Eyre, which I loved. Could never get into Wuthering Heights... should probably give it another try. Also have never read Persuasion, but Sense and Sensibility and Pride and Prejudice are among my all-time favorites. I'm re-reading Love in the Time of Cholera.

that is a great story, Meredith! it'd be so cool to see...
