Looks like I'll be at the March 9 show in St. Louis. Assuming I get tickets are the pre-sale. I'm assuming the cheapest ones will be around $50, which is okay. I wish I could afford nicer seats :cry:

Fixed it for you.

I just thought I'd make it bigger to highlight your idiocy.

I can say I have an irrational hatred for Nickelback. I can't stand the pompous attitude of the singer and the sound his mouth makes when he opens it. But I admit it's irrational.

I think "dislike" is totally rational, "hate" is irrational. "Hate" implies that you put forth an effort to despise the music, implying you take an active role in opposition to it. "Disliking" something means you simply don't find it pleasurable, so you don't listen to it: Which is far more rational to me.

I read the article. The problem with it is that your view is not "rational" in any sense of the word. Just because you write a formal blog entry and used big, ominous words doesn't mean you have ridden your logical fallacies. A few entries to clarify my point. ^This quote implies you were clearly irrationally biased against Coldplay in the first place. It means you forced yourself to listen to something you hate for little reason. ^This (particularly the bolded region) means you are being irrational in your hatred of the music. It's not warranted. You can say that you hate it, but give us an actual reason. And listening to something and "subjecting yourself" (your words not mine) because you like the producer is silly. ^So I have to find a way to like Katy Perry, seeing that she gets about 6,000% more airplay than Coldplay? Again, if you force yourself to do something, you're going into it knowing you're going to hate it. ^ K. ^ TELL US WHY IT'S BAD. You never do this in your entire article. Why not? You can't write a "rational" article without saying so. Again, it's not "rational" just because you used big shiny words (cite: the previous quote) Who is to say we don't understand the Coldplay hate? I think there is an inherent dislike of any band that produces hits on a regular basis (I can't fucking stand Nickelback). The problem with your explanation is that you don't say why your dislike exists, nor how it applies to the actual music. It would be "rational" if you examined WHY you dislike the music, WHY others dislike the music, and listen selectively to the music to reflect that. If you "subject yourself" to it, you're being just as discriminate as you have always done: You're just listening to music you don't like. Some people don't like Coldplay. I'm fine with that: I don't like plenty of music. I don't get why people love Glee so much. But I'm not about to try to figure it out. Because I already have: People have different tastes.

The Goldrush.

The only song by Coldplay that got really good radio support was Viva la Vida.

There is no HQ scan yet? PS: Your avatar is weird.

^ I'm an undiagnosed OCD-sufferer and closet germ-o-phobe. But thanks :) The periodic table was supposed to be a temporary addition for finals last December, but it has slowly become a permanent fixture of my bedroom. I hate my major so much!

^Damn! :(

^Yeah, but I wish I had taken down my periodic table and antibody table before taking this picture. Nerd Alert. :laugh3:

Well, the back of the vinyl has the cut-out MX, while the front has "MYLO XYLOTO" spelled out. So that's the normal vinyl. Is that what you're talking about? I think the "graffiti vinyl" will have some kind of pretty graffiti pattern on the actual vinyl.

To be honest, I just got this version of the vinyl to hang on the wall with my other vinyls. It's gonna look great when I get a frame. I have the pop-up coming (I think it's in different packaging, too) in December for my normal daily vinyl needs.

^^ I think that comes with the Pop-up too, unless I'm mistaken.

Came with this sweet-ass graffiti wall too. Jealous? :P

Well, I ordered the vinyl from Amazon. For way cheaper. And it's NOT part of the Pop-up. I'm expecting that in December.

Finally Finally Finally I got my vinyl in the mail!

IVE NOTIFIED THE POLICE. YOURE GOING TO JAIL. Get your affairs in order.

ALL CAPS! ALL CAPS! ALL CAPS!

Cake. Yellow. With chocolate frosting.

The LP has the best version of the art, for sure.

He's kind of egotistical.

I've been listening to Christmas Lights a lot lately.
