you should. or at least get your S'pore driving license before you go over for your studies. you can then get a Brit driving license that's valid til you're 70. :wink3:

awww...you go, Phil! good on ya for being strong enough to pull thru the depression & having the heart to give back to the community! :D

to re-state the blatantly obvious choice for the umpteenth time : RAINY DAY yes, it's a very upbeat Katamari-ish song for an actual rainy day. but i love rainy days. so there. :p

different artistes tend to have different views on things like bootlegs, really...depends on whether they openly make it known. tho i find that it's the newer/younger generation & tech savvy artistes who tend to openly support/encourage these sort of things. unlike the Metallica bunch... :p

wooo....right on there. Button + Brawn GP look unstoppable right now. but what's this stir about Ferrari (& possibly Toyota too) quitting F1 next year? i only heard the bit about Ferrari quitting...details! it's something about the rulings, i gather?

heh...your avatar's very well suited to your post! :laugh3: & i'm with you & Jamesy there. if the OP's article is talking about shuttling between UK & US practically everytime in between gigs even if for just 1 day, then that's quite a stretch. i've flown between London (UK) & Miami (US) once before & that is not a flight anyone'd want to be doing on a daily/regular basis in this post-Concorde era. you'll just be wearing yourself thin, what with the jet lag & all.

he looks like he's really savouring the moment... :lol:

simply brilliant! :laugh3:

"collect the guitars" as in just have a list of their guitars or really physically collect the guitars? cos that's gonna be one costly hobby there... :sweatdrop: you can have a lookie here http://www.dolphinmusic.co.uk/article/3071-the-sound-of-coldplay.html tho it's mostly about Jonny's gear. haven't really seen much around written about Chris' gear really. good luck in your search! :)

hell yeah! cos nobody can do diagnostic medicine (or whatever his branch/specialisation is called) like Gregory House! & conversely, methinks, nobody can play Gregory House like Hugh Laurie! :D

yeah, that's why i added that it's not very likely to happen. same goes for Snow Patrol, cos i think they're supporting U2 that period. :disappointed: maybe i should try writing up a list of bands that i wanna see support Coldplay in Wembley, toss them in 1 of my caps & see what comes up. :P oh, & this is for [email protected]. : CONGRATS!!! :dance: Coldplaying karma at work, indeed...as Min's said. :D

there's 2 designs for the tour t-shirts. 1 is the Viva La Vida album cover painting & another with a print of the band in Viva-themed clothing. both with the tour cities behind. then there's a red '42' t-shirt with a paint splatter type of design, but i think that was more of a girls' cutting t-shirt. that's all i can remember off the top of my head. can't remember there being any other t-shirt designs...

tho i voted for #3, i'm still dead chuffed that #4 won. it's a brilliant design too. :D :dance::dance::dance:

so...........what would you do for a copy? :wink3: btw, i'm just asking this cos i'm bored. i don't actually forsee myself having access to any spare copy. else i'd be more than happy to help out a fellow Malaysian.

meh. it's just got to (always) be the popular/famous/Grammy-winning/Grammy-nominated one that gets picked on. poor guys. :\

seemed like Coldplay do have a private jet from the video footage in the 60 Minutes interview. tho i don't recall them specifically saying it was Chris Martin's private jet. well, in all fairness, it looked like a small commercial plane really...not one of those fancy schmancy jets. there were the band + other ppl onboard the plane, tho it was like pretty much 1 person : 2 seats (the plane only had 2 rows of 2 chairs each with 1 aisle in between, not very 1st/business class looking if it was a commercial flight).

we should just keep it frozen at 42 votes for #4...just for posterity's sake! :D

actually, in reference to the interview quoted in your siggy, methinks "Liquid Amber" has a nice & cool ring to it as a band name...heh

what are you trying to post anyway? usually you can right click on the image & select "Properties". you'll see the full URL for the image then. or if you're using Firefox, you can see an option to "Copy Image Location" when you right click on the image.

couldn't go for the launch too, Pai. i'm still in Singapore right now. tho that shall be remedied by a visit to the Krispy Kreme shop once i'm back this month end-ish. :D

i'm not sure how the logistics arrangements of a music band for overseas concerts go, but i would imagine that it may be more cost effective to use a private jet/plane than booking up seats & cargo space on a commercial flight just to get the band + roadies + equiment (technical + instruments) all around the world? not to mention that some of their concert dates are pretty tight. i was recently looking up airline policies on bringing musical instruments onboard a flight & unless you're checking in your instrument (chance of mishandling/loss), some expect you to buy another ticket just to get an extra seat for the instrument. & he's married to an American actress who works primarily in the US/Hollywood...he's bound to rack up air miles one way or another when going over to visit the wife.

ah...anything comfy'll be fine. just be sure to have fun at the gig! that's more important, imo. :D

SQUEEE-ness!!! another month closer... :dance: is it a bit mental that i've kinda taken to somehow hoping that they get another support act & it'll come down to either Snow Patrol or Kaiser Chiefs? cos realistically, i don't think this is remotely likely... *sigh*

how about "Starfish"? ;)

hmmm...yeah, i guess the credit crunch kinda messes things up these days. but will definitely drop you a PM next time i'm eyeing any Coldplay goodies online. :)
