I AM FREAAAAAAAAAAAAAKING OUTTTTTTTTT!!! Chris looks so healthy and in great shape :D :D :D :D (I still don't like the piercing though) WEDDING BELLS + COLDPLAY + APPLE = One hyper over-excited squealing fan boy :wacky:

Oh and the mosque is 4 blocks away! FOUR BLOCKS AWAY! You can't even see it from the WTC! and it's a community centre, with a praying facility inside. I don't believe you can call the decision "distasteful" as I don't believe anyone did this on purpose. You know what? Just watch this video and you'll understand: [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QZpT2Muxoo0]YouTube- Keith Olbermann Special Comment: There Is No 'Ground Zero Mosque' - 08/16/10[/ame]

You guys, I love your outspokenness! :D America and it's democracy (which the world is sick of) means the freedom to practice any religion and the exaggerations made about this mosque are outrageous! Those protesters seriously need a chill pill because their view is racist, oppressive and dangerous. By singling out one "type" of people (whether it be based on religion, race or whatever) and you start to critisize them, THAT'S how a holocaust begins! Thank you to all you guys, from the bottom of my heart, for voicing your opinions and making yourselves heard. :)

I'm just going with the flow: RIP Jazz :( You will be missed!

Hahahahaha Muslim :laugh3: I'm Muslim and I know one when I see one. My dear ladies and gentlemen: Obama is not a Muslim. Sorry to disappoint :lol:

By the way, I respect guys (straight) who love Coldplay because they are usually noble, mannered and have a good soul. Just because you wear your heart on your sleeve, doesn't mean you're gay.

Ah! I'm so supportive of this thread. Go as far as to say, might be the best thread I've seen in some time. :lol: I am a man. I love Coldplay. I'm not gay. I'm not feminine. Let's beat the stereotype!

:lol: :laugh3: That's true!

Oh! and I hope no one gets offended, I'm half Arab so I know from experience ;)

^ you've got a point there! :lol: I'm wondering, what are your stereotypes about Arabs :P it's always funny to hear those! My stereotype for arabs is that they have big bellies, very big moustaches and have no regard for personal space :P

Arcade Fire - The Suburbs Florence + The Machine - Lungs

DO YOU UNDERSTAND???!!!?? Why I want a daughter while I'm still young! *shouts* The Suburbs - Arcade Fire :D :D :D :D

Al-Hassan :) Simple enough no?

I know right?! I was really shocked because I thought the females would rather have them straight and to themselves rather than be gay and into each other :lol: It's marvelous, bizarre yet ... in it's own way... entertaining :P

Fader - The Temper Trap

How do you like it? :)

Yeah! I'm waiting for that too! I'm waiting for the tracklisting of the mixtape you got. Although I think I know the first song. It's called Home -Edward Sharpe & The Magnetic Zeroes. Amirite?

Here's the link to download my mixtape if anyone's interested (the tracklisting is above) http://www.mediafire.com/?sharekey=ddd7c35a00ef1379ed24a2875c7fa58ea9517ba8fada3e7d16f8cf40558950b4

Yeah I have! I think Joy Division would've mastered that song! I could see why you'd choose it as a funeral song since Ian Curtis committed suicide soon after writing it. I wonder what funeral song I'll use :lol: what a gloomy subject haha! but I think I'd pick ... The Funeral - Band of Horses (obvious pick :P )

Asleep by the Smiths, I can see that yeah but Ceremony? A funeral song! I didn't expect that :lol: but I can see why...

I love it :D Always makes me happy :)

Just listened to my mixtape and I AM BLOWN AWAY. There's not ONE song I hated! Some liked less than the others but I NEED to know who made it because whoever she or he may be... I love them and they have an exquisite music taste! :D :D Here's my review: Track 1) What a reassuring way to start the mixtape with Radiohead! I recognize that voice. Even though I haven’t heard this Radiohead song, it’s right up my alley. “Just cause you feel it, doesn’t mean it’s there!” Beautiful lyrics, solid rhythm and a very ethereal song: especially the guitar riffs in the second half! It’s very eerie, borderline frightening; but in the good way. :) Track 2) Is it possible to fall in love with the person who made the mixtape? I know this song and I’m waiting RESTLESSLY for the album to come out! Arcade Fire – The Suburbs: an incredible song albeit, it is more “mainstream” than the earlier Arcade Fire stuff. LOVE it! :heart: Track 3) Rock & Roll!!! The beginning is deceiving because it makes you think it’s a slow, mellow song but it then explodes as the drums kick! Not a fan of the melody and it’s a little too chaotic for my taste so I’d rate it as 5/10. But for those who love drowning their thoughts in music and screaming their hearts out to a song: this is it! Track 4) This is like a fusion of AIR’s Mer Du Japon & The Flaming Lips. I like it, because even though it’s Pop Rock, it is very mellow and has a nice melody. 8/10 Track 5) Hoppipola by Sigur Ros! Ah! I LOVE this song! :wacky: (And it has an amazing video in my opinion). This is not a song as much as it is a symphony. I’m a sucker for violins; add in Jonsi’s falsetto, you get magic! The emotion in this dreamlike enchantment is unsurpassed. Exquisite! Track 6) Radiohead again. I was captivated from the first note! Very very beautiful and really goes well with Sigur Ros as it flows in the same atmosphere of high register. Slightly reminds me of the early days of Keane and Travis. 9/10 Track 7) Paolo Nutini? The voice is very beautiful and the accent is enthralling. Starts very mellow, in the realms of Jack Johnson and Radiohead’s Reckoner, then picks up after a while but remains in tranquil ground. The whistling adds the cherry on top and this soon will become my summer tune! Track 8) Okay, whoever made this mixtape is extremely mature musically! This song has kept me guessing as who is singing and where I’ve heard it. It really is a gem! Very “floaty” and the lyrics are so mysterious and moving. I was sedated by this song and had to put it on repeat. So dreamy and the pipe organ sound adds peace to it all. Track 9) This song really jutted out like a sore thumb. The previous five songs are so had me in a dreamy state of intoxication but this brought me down. The melody, lyrics, voice and piano piece are very saddening. I’d say this song is great for those gloomy days and really captures the essence of sorrow. A slightly cliché song for one of those Grey’s Anatomy or One Tree Hill episodes. Track 10) THIS HAS TO BE MY FAVOURITE SONG ON THERE!!!!! No lyrics, no words just pure music. Close your eyes to this song and it’s like walking on the moon with low gravity or diving underwater with sea turtles. I have NO IDEA how this person got away with putting this song on the mixtape because the rhythm, beat, drums and tune are so sexual. SO SEXUAL! Any lovers of the “Lounge” genre would worship this; and again, the violins held me at gunpoint. Absolute ecstasy! Track 11) Gimme Sympathy – Metric! HELL YEAH! A really good alternative song to rock out to! The song got me through the hardest times in my life because I’d just blast it and dance all my problems away. “Who’d you rather be, the Beatles or the Rolling Stones?” I LOVE IT! Track 12) No Cars Go – Arcade Fire. Again, is this person psychic?! He/she/it knows what I love! An amazing drum beat to this song, exquisite violins and horns! I recently went to an impromptu Arcade Fire concert and they played this as soon as I got there. Really got everyone moving! An essential sing-along on any iPod! Track 13) Starts similar to the previous track, running in the same lines, but intriguingly different. The psychedelic mushrooms of MGMT immediately start growing in your mind. Stereotypical psychedelica but gorgeous nonetheless. This is one of MGMT’s hidden treasures. 9/10 Track 14) :( I’m actually depressed the mixtape has come to an end! And this song is befitting to the sentiment. Radiohead again, which marvellously ties this journey together. The song skilfully says farewell and leaves you where you want to be: on cloud nine.

ok... seriously, I'm just listening to the mixtape I got and Arcade Fire was on there :') Whoever made this for me: I LOVE YOU :heart:

I already got someone assigned to me... its a secret :P But we could still exchange mixtapes if you want Anette :)
