Listening Party
Ah, this sounds great. I'd love to participate, but 4am is no fun as I have to get up for work at 6. :\ Have fun though. :nice:

THE LOST EPILOGUE - FINALLY!
The answers were pretty obvious imo. It's an insult to the series and the audience's intelligence. I wish they hadn't bothered making this. In some cases (Lost is definitely one of them) it's better to keep the mystery instead of coming up with crap crappy sucky shitty stupid videos like this one. Seriously, why did they spend a third of the whole thing on another instruction video? That's so season 2. And don't even get me started on the dialogue and the acting. Pfft. :dozey:

Updated list:

Arcade Fire
That makes me want to listen to Arcade Fire. :tongue:
-
Italy!
In Rome you have to pay to sit at a sidewalk cafe. It's ridiculous. :inquisitive:
-
Skype.
Skype is so convenient (=cheap) to call to landlines. I only use it when I'm abroad, so I don't really see the point of using it to call other skypers. But then again, I don't have much contacts. :tongue:

Arcade Fire
GOLD. :bomb: I don't have an Us Kids Know account. What does it say?

I'm going to get lost in Georgia

I'm going to get lost in Georgia
You don't want to do that, seriously. Sand + bike = :disappointed: (and it's much, much harder than riding on a road) I would take small roads along the coast. And you can easily do that in 3-4 days.

Kristen Stewart
Her facial expression always is like this: :blank: Makes me wonder how the hell she became an actor. :freak: (and if she had some sort of freak accident involving botox)

Italy!
Hm. Hopefully you'll read this before you leave. Some tips for Rome (besides the obvious tourist attractions like the forum romanum and the Colosseum, the Pantheon, Villa Borghese etc etc, which you also must visit if you've got the time): - Capuchin Crypt, Via Veneto 27 This is a bit dark and morbid, but very interesting to see. It's a small six room crypt where Capuchin monks nailed bones of dead monks are nailed to the wall in various patterns. Each room has its own function and theme. It'll cost you half an hour at most and entry is by donation so if you're in the neighbourhood this is definitely worth a visit. The crypt is near Barberini square and it's more or less in the centre of the city. Il Gesu (close to the forum romanum and Trevi) and Sant'Ignazio (Piazza di Sant'Ignazio, near Trevi fountain) are beautiful baroque churches with frescos on the walls and ceilings that look as real as anything. Especially Sant'Ignazio is very interesting to visit, because one of the frescos depicts a dome and from certain points in the church (a lot, actually), the dome looks real, even though the ceiling is flat as a pancake. Santa Maria in Trastevere (Piazza di Santa Maria in Trastevere) is perhaps one of the oldest churches in Europe and probably one of the first churches in Rome where mass was openly celebrated. The mosaics are very much worth seeing. Oh, and they have a part of the holy sponge, which Jesus apparently used to.. drink from (no bathing). :tongue: Santa Maria in Cosmedin (Piazza della Bocca della Verità) - forget the church (I don't actually mean that, the church is lovely), stick your hand in the Bocca della Verita and hope you'll get it back. :D The Vatican Museums, the Capitoline Museums and Villa Borghese are also good places to visit if you're interested in the classics. If you're lacking time, go for Borghese. Pompeii is awesome if you have a good guide (it's a VERY big place). Keep an eye out for the whore house, it's funny. :nice:

Radiohead
:shame: I bought it last December. :disappointed:
-
Arcade Fire
The setlists so far are :awesome: :bomb: :dance: I want to see them soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo badly. :(
-
Radiohead
Same, but for me it's The National and Portishead. :( At the moment I don't really care about anything Radiohead related except solid LP8 news tbh. :\ (though I should probably listen to HTTT at some point in time, but I'm holding it hostage for LP8 news :P) :whip: :whip: :whip: :whip: :whip: :whip: :whip:

Arcade Fire
It's harder than it looks, right? :D
-
Arcade Fire
Photos usually look better in b/w in my experience. :tongue: I wanted to say the b/w one looks awesome (very Arcade Fire-ish :D), but Jo beat me to it. :nice:
-
The National
Lemonwooooooorld <333333333 Go see them in small venues if you can. Their performance is better suited to those than to festivals and larger venues. Can't wait to see them again, next week and also in November. Both are festivals unfortunately, but I'm not really complaining about seeing them three times in half a year. :D Arcade Fire triumphs The National hands down (depending on the location, setlist and atmosphere of course) so it's a very logical choice.
-
The National
That's harsh, basically choosing between The National and Arcade Fire. What did you think? :nice:
-
The National
Did you see them at Osethingie? Aww, I nearly missed this post. :heart:
-
Arcade Fire
I might go to the Düsseldorf gig as well if they don't announce a Dutch date. :wacky: ..or I could just go either way and buy a ticket already. :tongue:
-
Arcade Fire
Ha, that tends to happen. But how did you not get excited about them in 2007? I have to say that's pretty difficult. :D Whaa, so they are filming the audience/band members again? The way they did that really annoyed me last times cause I couldn't spot the cameras. :tongue: But the confetti looks pretty awesome. :nice: I listened to the album for the first time last night and while I wasn't blown away, it has potential (and my father agreed). At first I was afraid it might be too long, but luckily that wasn't the case. Actually I was kind of disappointed that it ended and I immediately wanted to listen again. A good sign. In a couple of listens I'm pretty sure I'm going to LOVE the album. The only thing that kind of disappointed me was the lack of Régine. I'd expected to hear her more and while Sprawls II is pretty good, it's nowhere near In The Backseat.

The Snow Patrol Thread
Actually, that was the same year and the episodes were only days apart. :nice: I remember because I discovered them a couple of months earlier through Bones (they played Somewhere A Clock Is Ticking in a midseason episode) and I was surprised to hear Snow Patrol three times (twice GA, once ER) in barely a week. Then I really became Snow Patrol addicted. :tongue: Um, yeah. I remember a lot of weird random stuff that's not really important. :')
