True, but it kind of irked me. It would have been one thing if they [officially] released it as their second or third single, or if they just would have debuted it at the festivals (for the purposes of being a festival/concert song); but to have it be the first one out of the gate? No. In my humble opinion, Major Minus would have been the best one as their first official single. That would set the tone for the era much better than ETIAW. I suppose another reason is that the lyrics of ETIAW sound like they were written by the boys' kids, instead of the boys themselves.

You have answered your own question.

oy methinks there is a thread in the Coldplay section for this

I have this really cool e-mail address called [email protected]. Actually I don't, but lots of places think I do. :nod: *cough*

I have the ominous "Jaws" tune in my head now. Everyone on the East Coast, please stay safe!

you're so cute :lol:

Indeed you did and I will be forever thankful! :dazzled:

even lower

I wanna say the Oracle has answered this already, but I'm not sure.

Not necessarily. I think she is simply saying that Paradise is the next [official] single. ETIAW was the first [official] single; Paradise is the second [official] single. Of course, that's not to say that it won't be on MX. It still could be, who knows. (Although I hope not... it's bad enough that I paid for it once already. :nod: )

I submitted my vote for the day :awesome:

Hmm, I don't know if there's a pic of all of it, but here's a little peek :D

Yeah I was thinking the same thing, so I'm glad you said it. If I remember correctly, at an awards festival a few years ago (not sure which one) Greenday made a snarky comment about them.

Considering the video was posted quite awhile ago, it could have been a really early version of MX (which we have only heard the intro to thus far at the festivals). I'm certainly not going to rule it out. Or maybe the whole point was that they wanted to show us that Guy can do more than just play bass.

When you get to be a serious grownup, you'll wish you were in this weird space again.

Watching thunderstorms all around us while we were playing softball! It looked so cool. Oh and we won both of our games too.

Do you not realize that your butt-crack is showing?

What don't you like about it?

Snagging tickets to the Lions game that will air on Monday Night Football. :wacko: Especially considering they sold out shortly after they went on sale.

hello my dear :wacko:

Hello and welcome! :nice:

Oh how cute, on the news they just said that the lemurs at the National Zoo started "alarm calling" 15 minutes BEFORE the earthquake hit. :cheesy:

It's all relative, of course. Apparently people in California said the same thing... one even tweeted "My phone's vibrate setting is stronger than that." :lol: But considering that pretty much never happens on the East Coast (the last one like that was something like 70 years ago), most people have never experienced anything like that. People close to the epicenter were like what da fuh... There was a scientist on the news last night explaining the difference between East Coast and West Coast earthquakes, it was really interesting! There's a whole bunch of little plates on the West Coast, so when there's an earthquake it dissipates into all of the little plates. On the East Coast, it's one huge plate so when the whole thing shifts, that's why people from so far away can feel it. Not to mention most buildings on the East Coast aren't built to handle earthquakes. If it had been much stronger, lots of buildings probably would have crumbled to the ground (according to that scientist).

:uhoh: Where? I see a banner for the VMAs, but not BTDMAs.
