Square One 26 - Don't Panic 13 +

brand new eyes put Paramore into my top 10. Possibly even top 5. I had their first two albums and never really thought they were anything special. Admittedly, Riot > All We Know, which is what made me give them another chance.

I find it exhausting sifting through Triple J's stuff these days. It seems to take a long time to find the good stuff. Maybe I'm just more impatient now.. :P Right now I'm listening to Eskimo Joe. :D

Square One 26 - Don't Panic 13 +

Yeah these are the two left. I can't see why Politik was wiped out, but hey. Square One 28 - Don't Panic 11 +

I believe I now have LESS CDs than when I last posted here. But I have more vinyl. CD: Parachutes A Rush of Blood to the Head Live 2003 X&Y Viva la Vida or Death and all His Friends Prospekt's March LeftRightLeftRightLeft Vinyl: The Blue Room EP Shiver Yellow Trouble Don't Panic In My Place The Scientist Clocks God Put a Smile Upon Your Face Speed of Sound Fix You Talk What if The Hardest Part Violet Hill Life in Technicolor II A Rush of Blood to the Head (LP)

Sorry, Don't Panic is better. Square One 31 - Don't Panic 8 +

That's pretty much exactly what I was thinking. It's like it's implying that she thinks Chris could possibly cheat on her in private. Far out. Bad wording.

Teacher handing out assignments: Teacher: Chris? Chris: Yup, right here. Me: *head snaps up because this Chris has an English accent and you wouldn't put it past Chris to pose as an Engineering student in an Australian uni*

I have butterflies. :) They're pretty but they don't do much. Haha.

When your MSN conversation with friends goes like this. Me: The word "technicolor" doesn't have a U. Friend: are you basing this off Life in Technicolor?

Noooo. Square One 32 - Don't Panic 7 +

Oh my. You people are amazing. I recently was a little low on cash, so I've pretty much sold all my singles. I just have the four albums, Prospekt's March, Live 2003, LRLRL, and the singles boxset.

I've stopped ranking the albums.. Can't do it anymore.

I just realised today that I haven't listened to the album version of The Hardest Part since LRLRL came out. Guess I like the acoustic THP?

Ode to Deodorant 7 - Brothers & Sisters (tape version) 6 Bigger Stronger 13 No More Keeping My Feet On The Ground 9 Such A Rush 12 Brothers & Sisters (CD version) 17 Easy To Please 8 Only Superstition 14 Don't Panic (Blue Room version) 4 See You Soon 20 + High Speed 10

I've never seen this thread before. I guess I have to answer all the questions. Right now. ASSIGNMENT #1 You are told you have to leave immediately for a deserted island for a taping of 'Survivor'. You can only bring five songs by any single artist with you on your MP3 player for entertainment while you are there. What five Coldplay songs would you bring? 1. The Scientist 2. Life in Technicolor II 3. See You Soon 4. Yellow 5. Swallowed in the Sea (tad inappropriate maybe, but that’s just how I roll.) ASSIGNMENT #2 (for girls and some guys) There is a picture shortage, and you are only allowed to see pictures of one of the four Coldplay members for the rest of your life. Who do you choose to look at? Will FTW. ASSIGNMENT #3 Your friend, who has been living under a rock, has no idea who Coldplay are. You can play exactly ONE SONG to convince your friend how utterly fantastic they are. Which do you choose??? LiTII (latest obsession, as you can tell.) ASSIGNMENT #4 You have to pick one Coldplay single (like, the CD, including b-sides) to listen to the rest of your life; what do you pick? Fix You ASSIGNMENT#5 You must choose 5 Coldplay songs to be destroyed and never listened to again by anyone. What's your 5? 1. Green Eyes 2. Clocks 3. Lost+ 4. Chinese Sleep Chant 5. Ode to Deodorant ASSIGNMENT #6 Be honest. What DON'T you like about Coldplay? ("Nothing" does not count as a valid answer for this one and all "nothing"ers shall be spanked with a hot iron rod) I don’t like how huge they are. Sometimes I feel like a conformist when I say, “Coldplay is my favourite band.” ASSIGNMENT #7 You are part of the first manned mission to Mars and will be gone for many years. You can only take one Coldplay-related piece of memorabilia with you (CD, DVD, book, poster, etc.) What do you take? Ooh, tricky. Parachutes. : ASSIGNMENT #8 While recording one day, tensions rise and the boys decide to settle their problems the old fashioned way: a free for all cage match. If you were placing bets who would you choose? Jonny hands down. ASSIGNMENT #9 You are drinking with Coldplay. Who can you out drink and who will be the last man standing? I can outdrink Chris (maybe). Will will be the last man standing. ASSIGNMENT #10 Chris, Jonny, Guy, and Will all simultaneously propose to you at the same time. Which one do you say yes to? JONNY PLEASE. ASSIGNMENT #11 Everyone dies someday. If it were up to you, which Coldplay member would you want to die first? (Whether it's tomorrow or 30 years from now) Guy. I don’t know why. I love Guy, I just.. *runs* ASSIGNMENT #12 Somebody offers you ten million dollars to never listen to Coldplay again. You are currently dying of poverty. Do you take the money or spit in the mans' face? Take the money, move to a foreign country, and keep listening to Coldplay. How on earth would he ever know? ASSIGNMENT #12.1 (AMENDMENT) You cannot think of another way out of this terrible mess. The offer is tempting. You're facing a very hard time ahead if you don't get the money to pull yourself out of this. Ten million dollars is no small sum, but would you be willing to sacrifice never hearing Coldplay again to get it? What do you choose? No really. I stick by my original plan. It’ll work well. ASSIGNMENT #13 If you could only watch one Coldplay music video for the rest of your life (and no others whatsoever), which one would it be? The Scientist fo’ sho’. ASSIGNMENT #14 After Wembley, Guy decides he's had enough and quits the band to become a monk. Should Coldplay: A) Disband completely and stop touring/recording; B) Find a new 4th bandmate and carry on touring and recording; or C) Not replace Guy, but continue touring and recording. b) New bandmate. Change isn’t always a bad thing. ASSIGNMENT #15 Chris, Guy, Will, and Jonny decide to take some time off of Coldplay and go solo for awhile. You can only buy one of the four albums. Whose do you buy? Will, no competition. He is one talented man. ASSIGNMENT #16 After a Coldplay concert, you get into your car and, miracle of miracles!, you see Chris, Guy, Jonny, and Will each get into separate cars right in front of you!! They all go separate directions. Which car would you choose to follow? I’m not a stalker. … But Chris. ASSIGNMENT #18 What five unplayed songs would you go absolutely crazy for if Coldplay put them into their set? By ‘unplayed’, do you mean recently, or EVER? I’m going to assume unplayed as of VLV tour. Swallowed in the Sea Amsterdam See You Soon Til Kingdom Come Don’t Panic ASSIGNMENT #19 If you were stranded on a desert island and could only take one Coldplay related thing what would you take and why? My Coldplay shirt. Because a CD would be useless without any method of playing it. And desert island! No electricity. :D

Whoa, I've been gone for a long time. How was VLVODAAHF eliminated? Parachutes 10 + A Rush of Blood to the Head 13 X&Y 19 -

This is true. I saw loads of middle aged people at the concert I attended. I also saw some teenyboppers, but as a band gets more popular, they will ALWAYS attract more 13 year olds.

Yellow 19 + Clocks 9 - Talk 3 Lovers in Japan 11

Life in Technicolor 7 Daylight 1

Erm. I don't own it, nor am I planning to buy it anytime soon, but it sure looks pretty. http://www.coldplaying.com/forum/showthread.php?t=62753

I USED to love the original, but I don't think I've listened to it at all since May. Hm.

Nah, it's way cooler on vinyl. I finally caved and bought it the other day. Some of the songs stop a few seconds before the end... do any of you have that problem?

Hey, it looks good. I'm looking forward to this.
