[RicardoObviouso]

scheduled for general motors place january 26th. anyone lining up for tickets next week?

[Crusader]

I am but I don't want to line up.

[RicardoObviouso]

visa - official sponsor of the impatient.

[Jarrod]

i wouldn't mind going to see them. i don't have visa though...nor any other credit card.

[Shiri]

Why?

 

Bla bla and you all know why.

[RicardoObviouso]

could it be because you're from israel?

[Shiri]

What does that have to do with me asking why he doesn't have a credit card?!

[Crusader]

There's nothing wrong with Israel. And credit cards can be bad for your health!

[Shiri]

Oh, there're a lot of things wrong with Israel but don't get me started... Lol ;)

[Jarrod]

i don't have a credit card because...ummm...no one will give me one? haha...oh geez, everytime i go into zellers i get asked if i want their credit card. but who doesn't?

 

but i wish that i could go see coldplay. maybe if i begged my parents, pledded with them, guilt trip them, maybe, JUST MAYBE, they'll let me use their credit card.

[RicardoObviouso]

or you could try to win tickets via jeff o'niell on the cfox morning show.

[Jarrod]

ummm...yeah...i could.

 

my sister tried to win tickets but they block out numbers from the island. oh well, it's not a big deal.

[RicardoObviouso]

toll free number. check it out.

I once almost went out with this girl, but then she told me she liked Coldplay, so I decided to never call her. No joke.

 

"You know how I know you're gay? You listen to Coldplay."

[Shiri]

How High Fidelity of you... Haha ;) Man, that's a good movie.

[crazycanuck]

How High Fidelity of you... Haha ;) Man, that's a good movie.

High Fidelity is fantastic, and pleases the music geek/rock snob inside of me.

But of course the book was better, because it was something that had to be played out in a book, though the movie did a pretty damn good job (even if they did change the continent it was set in).

[Shiri]

I never read the book, but usually books are better than the movies based on them, so I'm not surprised.

[crazycanuck]

the book was one of those things where it was really hard to turn into a movie because a lot of the story is played out in prose and thoughts, hence all the narration by John Cusack. The movie nailed the main bits, but there's so much more stuffed into the book, neverminding the scenes that had to be cut to trim the thing down.

i dated a girl for two months who's favourite band is evanescence. ;)

"You know how I know you're gay? You listen to Coldplay."

you know something, i sorta feel gay when i listen to their music too (by myself, of course), but i'll tell you something else.... i went to see them play in auburn washington with my girlfriend in the summer (coldplay fan) and it was BY FAR the best live show we've ever seen... and we've seen LOTS of big name acts live.

 

when i was in highschool i got parachutes for my birthday from one of my friends, i listened to 'yellow' a few times and never touched the disc again until i saw them in auburn. the day i got home i bought x&y, which i rarely listen to, and a couple dvds (which get more playtime in my car and home than anything i own)

[Daedalus]

I rather enjoy coldplay's music.

 

On a related note I went to a ball run by my faculty here at school and the amateur DJ club was in charge of the music. They played one rock song and it was "yellow" they also scratched(or whatever that rappy thing you do with records is called) to it . . . . Needless to say it was more like going clubbing in a suit with more drunks . . . it made me cry a little bit.

[crazycanuck]

Parachutes isn't that bad, I'll admit. But X&Y is one of the worst albums I've ever listened to. They're trying too hard to be U2, when, if they tried they could be a really good little pop band.

 

Oh, and Chris Martin writes shit lyrics.

More importantly than all of this, can anyone confirm if they are touring with Richard Ashcroft? Sure I could look it up, but what's the fun in that.

[Crusader]

I know Fiona Apple is touring with them and that the tickets are $49.50.

[RicardoObviouso]

richard ashcroft is touring in europe with them fiona is on for the north american leg. tickets start at 49.50 and go to 89.50
