^ yay for you!!! :dance:

i wonder how a "Snow Patrol lollipop" looks like? hehe :wink3: i wouldn't mind a Snow Patrol umbrella or tumbler tho... :) oh & November's just around the corner!!! Up To Now & the Reworked Winter Tour are just round the corner!!! :dance: ...no word about the status of my Up To Now boxset order yet. & there's the whole postal union strike still on here. i hope they don't use Royal Mail for my order...tho i don't think i paid much for delivery, so i doubt it'll be courier delivery. :thinking:

heh...the 1st time i tried it was at the staff cafeteria where i was working in Singapore. cos the makcik told me to give it a try & that i'll like it. :)

just saw this on a website & thought you Polar Teddies in the US would be interested in this special Up To Now pack. :D http://www.starpulse.com/Contests/Snow_Patrols_Up_To_Now_Prize_Pack/3950/

awww...too cute!!! :D btw, this round's questions have a couple of toughies!!! :thinking: i've no idea how to answer 2 of them... :shame: awww...he's got "morning voice" too? :lol: i think there were like 3-4 extra songs on the UK edition. i didn't realise it myself when i bought it that it's only for the UK edition. but Warmer Climate is a good track & i love In My Arms. i've ripped the album to my PC, but unfortunately it's in the repair shop right now...so i can't share the tracks with you guys. :(

i actually loved NLOTH on 1st listen! ...or maybe it was cos i had the volume up high when it came on, but it definitely left an impact...tho i think as of today, it still has not been released as a single (tho i don't really follow what singles U2 have out, so not very sure on this). Get On Your Boots i didn't like on 1st listen. still doesn't really get to me as much as the other tracks on the new album. i thought that Magnificent is the more superior track. & i do also like the music video made for I'll Go Crazy If I Don't Go Crazy Tonight. :D

it's even better with sambal ikan bilis... *drool* how's everyone doing? i just finished a bloody tough programming assignment...stressed as hell still. & i do not want to ever see another maze again in the immediate future! :dead:

hell yeah!!! just proves that West Ryder Pauper Lunatic Asylum is the winner we know it is! :dance: *puts on Fast Fuse* :dance:

no...i'm even betting it's the frozen store bought type. :P

no worries, Jen! :D i haven't heard the original version for About You Now myself, actually. but then, with a name like Sugababes, i can't really imagine that song to be anything other than a bubbly pop tune. & i couldn't help giggling cos there's a banjo playing away for the song! cute! :laugh3: @merryberry9 : i haven't tried. but then i don't really wanna pay for just 2 Snow Patrol songs & i already have Tap Tap Coldplay. :\

i found a place that serves roti canai here in Bristol...haven't actually tried it, cos it costs 4 quid for a plate of 4 pieces!!! :stunned:

haha...good enough! :D orrite...it's like 6.30AM for me here. & i've got lectures starting at 11AM. :dozey: g'nitezzz all & it's been a blast (the gig & hanging out in this thread during the gig)! :cool:

:stunned: how long did you have to queue to get up close?

it got a bit laggy towards the middle, but it wasn't too bad at all. a smooth stream overall & i'm watching on a low-powered eeePC (cos my main & more powerful PC is at the repair shop). & well done, Jen, for getting a setlist compiled & up so fast! :D

well, Chris is a pretty energetic lead singer...if that's who you're comparing Bono to. & you should see Liam of Oasis perform then...even less stage presence, in that sense. all he really does is walk up to the mic with his hands clasped behind him & sing with his lips pressed up against the mic. ;)

you'd probably need to go waaaay back in the U2 timeline to see a gig that's not over the top in terms of stage setup & effects. heh :P

ah…simply magic! :wacky:

SQUEEE!!! With or wiiiiithout you…I can't liiiiive…

yeah, definitely not so soon. they'd need to keep going & be as successful as U2 for a while longer still. tho there already is a generation of younger music fans who are probably more familiar with Coldplay than U2 & think Coldplay are a bigger act. tho that's more of a generation thing.

are they going to play Discotheque? cos I was just wondering if they still play it… I love te "boom chak" but of the song. hehe :D

@xxKels : you never know. Coldplay might one day…they see U2 as their benchmark & a major influence on their music also.

gawd, I just love the tracks from The Joshua Tree…fave U2 album hands down. :)

ah, another great classic with a legendary riff! Where The Streets Have No Name!!!

heh…guess Americans won't be as familiar with the tune as us English Premier League mad Asians. even if I'm not a Liverpool FC fan. ;)

is it getting better? do you feel the same? <3
