Your Best Discovery of 2010!
Kings of Convenience, by far. That being said, I've discovered a lot of bands this year, including Keane, The Decemberists, Radiohead, Lifehouse, Oren Lavie, Jon Hopkins, Kaki King, Special Patrol, Something Corporate (was that REALLY this year?!?)... plus I've rediscovered a lot of artists too (most notably The Beatles). Overall, an awesome year in music... bring on 2011! XD

What are you listening to?
Thinking About You (Demo) - Radiohead

how hard is it to learn piano?
I found it fairly easy; I began learning keyboard when I was 6, then moved to piano when I was 8, so I found the transfer fairly easy. As for actually learning keyboard, I don't really remember - I think it was pretty easy, though. I know other people who don't quite have the coordination for it, though - each to his own, I guess :)

WHAT DID YOU GET FOR CHRISTMAS
- New phone! My current phone is pretty much dead. - External HD + case (finally, my dad can stop complaining about how I take up all of the space on our computer...) - Inception DVD - Family Guy Seasons 7 & 9 (thus completing my FG season collection, woo!) - Blade Runner DVD - COLDPLAY MUG FTW! - A diary/planner (go figure...) - FruChocs :heart::heart: - Ferrero Rocher :heart::heart: - A Bieber book... it was a joke present from my parents... :P - Pablo Honey Collector's Edition CD Still waiting of a couple of things, though.

Coldplay Presents :D
I got a Coldplay mug!! I opened it when my mum was on the phone, and I screamed 'A COLDPLAY MUG! I LOVE YOU GUYS!!', and she wuz all liek 'Shh, shh...'. It's not the Think Positive one that you guys are talking about, it looks like it's from the X&Y era (which is great because it's my favourite era in terms of both album and tour :D )... it's black, with 'Coldplay' written around it in dark green lettering. Will post pictures later xD

Top 5 LEAST fav Coldplay songs (B-sides included)
5. In My Place - Yet again, do not understand the appeal of this song. It was somewhat of a hit for them, I know, but it doesn't really do that much for me. 4. Life is for Living (Studio version) - The AROBTTH tour version is amazing, but the original is just crap. It's obviously been recorded in a different location to the rest of Parachutes, and most certainly one that isn't as quality a place to record. Chris sounds like he's drunk, too. As a track, it just doesn't work for me - Everything's Not Lost is a far better track to go out on. 3. Daylight - It's better live, but Jonny's slide guitar riff just doesn't do it for me; especially with the string section in the background. 2. A Whisper - Far too repetitive... maybe I just haven't given it the chance it deserves. Sometimes my friends and I refer to this song as 'A Whisper, A Whisper, A Whisper, A Whisper, A Whisper, A Whisper, A Whisper, A Whisper...' 1. 42 - It should be great... it's an awesome number, after all. But honestly, I just cannot get on with it. And I know I'm gonna get some hate for this - I do already from my friends who are Coldplay listeners. To be honest, the three versions of it I have (studio version + two live versions) are all one star in my iTunes, and are the only one star songs out of 2376 songs in my library. That is how much I dislike this song. (Dis)honourable mentions - Loveless (which doesn't technically count as a Coldplay track, but still...), Only Superstition (it has grown on me somewhat, though), Clocks (overrated, IMO), Pour Me (eugghhh...), We Never Change, Death Will Never Conquer & You Only Live Twice. I agree so much, it's ridiculous. Easy to Please is so much better than some of their other tracks.

Coldplay Presents :D
I've asked for Roadie, as well as some t-shirts and other stuff from the Coldplay online store.

You know you're addicted to Coldplay when...
I so read that as your closet friend... :P When your parents ask you to switch off the Christmas lights, and disagree, telling them that 'those Christmas Lights' should 'keep shining on'...

Do you think the members of Coldplay actually look at Coldplaying?
I'd guess so, yeah. Nope, I believe we are the biggest :D

Do you think the members of Coldplay actually look at Coldplaying?
Yeah, I think Phil probably does too.

My guess is no. Discuss.

The Decemberists
Well, I just downloaded The Crane Wife 3... amazing stuff! Now getting some more of their tunes :D

The 'Who Else Would I Like?' Thread
Okay, I'll check them out too :) And yeah, I listened to the album again yesterday, and it's not bad... certainly not their best, but not too bad. I was the same with Jack's Mannequin's (another band you might like) album The Glass Passenger. It took me a couple of listens to like it, but now it's one of my favourite albums... Everything in Transit (their other album) is better, though.
-
The 'Who Else Would I Like?' Thread
Yeah, she's great. I've only got a couple of her songs at the moment, but I'll download some more (possibly an album or two, as well) in the next couple of days. Plus, she worked with Kings of Convenience for a couple of songs on my favourite album of theirs, so that automatically makes her awesome xD And I agree, Hopes and Fears is Keane's best album. I'm listening to Perfect Symmetry at the moment, and it's not exactly the best album out there.
