but there's Grey's Anatomy to thank for that giant success that is Chasing Cars...which i dare say is probably the 1st Snow Patrol song i heard. cos to be honest, Run isn't that big in Asia compared to Chasing Cars even if Run is the one that made the band big. anyway, this is a bit OT, but my sis & i first heard this (unofficial) version of Chasing Cars on a Singapore radio station...after the initial confusion, we both agreed that this tune mash up actually works & sounds quite good. [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7O3Z00jn47M]YouTube - Snow Patrol vs. The Police (Partyben mash-up)[/ame] (& Nathan thinks "it's fine" too... :P )

well, they did also make 2 versions of Chasing Cars too, right? partly cos of the renewed popularity after being played on Grey's Anatomy...i think.

*lol* even i am curious to know about the story, Bianca...do tell! :D

*lol* now that you mention it...it does look like that! :laugh3:

Chocolate!!! i especially love this line: with a name i'd never chosen, i can make my first steps as a child of 25... :D :dance: :D

they seem to be all squashed up in the corner of an otherwise spacious sofa tho. amazed that he still looks comfy sitting there. haha & Gary seems to be going for the scruffy slacker bum look there. :P

the song's from When It's All Over... it's got the same cute sounding tune as Blur's Coffee & TV (the one with the video of a carton of milk wandering around). i likes it! :D & is that Gary playing the "dog"? cos the video was a bit blurry/pixelated for me... :(

oooh, that's such a weird video...esp the start. but cute still. hehe :D goes well with the song!

heh...thanks. tho mine's nothing more than a screencap. ;) Bianca, nice work there! :D well, the questions are supposed to get harder the further along it goes (according the the Pub Quiz's info)...so that may just pop up as a question later on. :thinking: oh & you're a life saver! haha was stuck on the Scottish festival question...& i learn something new today, cos i'd always thought T in the Park was a London thing (i've no idea why i thought that...i may have gotten it mixed up with something else).

yeah, all you guys & gals seriously need to vote! else we'll end up seeing a McFly song as the bloody Absolute Radio SONG OF THE DECADE!!! seriously...McFly??? :dozey:

@guills : love your siggy! perfect combo! hahaha :D hmmm...anyhoo...well, here's my top 3 list : Final Straw (this was a toughie to decide just 3!) 1. Chocolate 2. How To Be Dead 3. Grazed Knees Eyes Open 1. Hands Open 2. You Could Be Happy (such a beautiful song... *sniffles*) 3. Make This Go On Forever A Hundred Millions Suns 1. The Planets Bend Between Us (most beautiful song ever!) 2. The Golden Floor 3. If There's A Rocket Tie Me To It

i like his stuff from his Unplugged album (which is actually the only Clapton CD i own)...heh :D my fave song of his is Tears From Heaven...cos i think it's a real touching song, esp when you know of the story behind him writing it. other than that song, i like Wonderful Tonight & Layla a lot too. but maybe a bit more love for Wonderful Tonight.

gosh...they even use the same model of acoustic guitars from the looks of this photo! such a strong bond... :D

i quite like the song...& the video to go with it. love the all white getups. haha now, for their next video, i'd like to see them in eskimo suits pls. :P & who wouldn't have a crush on Gary? he's just plain adorkable...haha (i've no idea why even...i just think he's adorkable :dozey: )

"MalAmerican satay" sounds......interesting. :laugh3:

+1 for Audacity :D

heh...who would've figured that you'd be surrounded by my fellow Asians all the way in LA? :lol: but it's great that you got to meet Gary! & those shots are awesome! :D

obviously, someone forgot to tell the PM that some national flags' colours just weren't ever meant to be part of a racing car... :dozey:

yup. the Lotus F1 team. tho the Malaysian govt will insist on referring to it as the 1Malaysia F1 team. & Lotus the car company is Malaysian owned now anyway. & that is one helluva ugly model car... :stunned:

ah, so that's how you know Cantonese! :D this is what happens when you've been working in F&B for 5yrs...you know all kinds of non-sensical details about things like laksa. even if you can't cook a decent meal (i tried to fry chicken yesterday & i stank up the whole flat! :dozey: ) Maggi Mi perisa kari ayam FTW!!! haha but i remember i took some Maggi Mi perisa assam laksa to Aussie last time...those were delish!!! *drool* didn't see them around in the supermarket this time tho... :\ oooh...this is the postponed DiGi event, right? enjoy! they're goooooooooood. Tyson's got the charm & charisma to work the crowd...even if he looks like such an emo boy, imo. :D hope the rempits don't spoil it for you...they can be a rather unruly lot with their inconsiderately excessive moshing antics & incestant attempts to push their way to the front. :veryangry2:

haha..."polar teddies" sounds real cute! :lol: haha...i'm thinking of trying my luck to meet them too for when i see them in Bristol. tho i'll probably need to really layer up for the nite...it's getting pretty cold here & i'm proving to be not much of a "polar teddy". :\ hope you do get lucky with meeting the band, but have a blast at the show anyway! & +1 to the requests to take loads of photos! :D oh & do you guys think this tee would be suitable for a Snow Patrol gig? ;)

thanks for the tips. :) red zone eh? that sounds exclusive....................& i'm sure it'll cost a bomb. :\ & i may be watching it with you...virtually! :dance: * barring the site crashing from the load...i have confidence in my uni's internet connection at least. since it'll be at like 4am on Monday morning for me here! :dead: [ame= ] [/ame] next best thing for me, besides actually seeing the real deal live. :D

i do hope they will...else i'll be gutted that i'm in UK for a whole year & not a single chance came up for me to see them on tour. cos they only ever go to Japan & Australia when they do go touring to Asia & Oceania. :\

oooh...1 helluva season this's been! & bravo Jensen Button & Brawn! definitely been the year of the underdog for a team that almost couldn't race in F1 in 2009! :D bring on 2010!!! tho i shall need to stock up on popcorn to watch what the Ferrari circus has in store for us now that Alonso's gonna be there with Massa... :P & there's now going to be a new team to compete with Force India for not finishing last - the 1Malaysia F1 team! (yes, i'm rather pessimistic about my own country's F1 abilities...cos we suck at most sports, tbh)

let me know if you need me to help you get the tickets, since i'm in UK still for at least a year. i think the last thing you'll want is another repeat of Wembley & the gate mess up too :\ (& bad bad person...whoever it was who lied to you about your gate! :whip: ).
