Coldplay

[Impeccable]

...what's the general consensus, especially in the US, of Chris Martin and his crew? They've got a new album coming out.

Am I allowed to like them?

[Loose Cannon]

I really liked them when they first started, but I've kind of gotten tired of them. I did like a couple songs on thier last album. The Scientist and Yellow are tremendous though

[Blue Demon]

I like em. Went to see them on their Rush of Blood To The Head tour...good show :y: Their newer stuff I find takes a few listens though. I don't mind their newer stuff, but their older stuff is def better.

[Loose Cannon]

I also love the song Fix You when it starts to pick up at the end. That's pretty sweet

[Impeccable]

Fix You is my favourite Coldplay song.

I was just asking as they seem to have this reputation as being whiny, especially their newer stuff. Wondered if this was just a British view.

[U-Warrior]

I like X & Y better than their first two albums. Clocks, The Scientist, and Yellow are all awesome tho.

[Indifferent Clox]

I think of them as Radiohead lite. But in an okay way.

[thedamndest]

I think you're allowed to tell a chick you like them if you're trying to get some pussy, but as far as actually liking them no.

[Zen v.W.o.]

lol Coldplay.


:n:

Damn

[El Fangel]

The Scientist, Clocks, Yellow, Fix You

Some of the best of their songs.

[Blitz]

I've dug them since Yellow came out. The new single is very cool. Apparently the new album is a departure for them.

[Indifferent Clox]

I made sweet sweet love to yellow, clocks, and the scientist one time. It was beautiful.

Requim's mom hasn't been the same since.

[Requiem]

You know how I know you are gay Clox?

Nah but seriously, Coldplay is alright. I like some of their stuff, but not a lot of it. I used to hate them when they first came out, but I gave them a second shot and ended up liking them more.

[D Mac]

nah

[Mr Regal]

Yellow and Shiver are awesome. I like most of the stuff they do......like though not love. I never listen to their music and thinks it's fucking awesome. They definitely have some quality tunes though, and are far more talented than most of the jokers churning out shit at the moment, like the fucking hoosiers* and scouting for fucking girls*.

Staged at Sonkaj&auml;rvi in eastern Finland since 1992, this ‘discipline’ dates back to the 19th century, if local legend is to be believed. Local villain Herkko Ronkainen used to swing his favourite local girl on his shoulders, an act that will be duplicated by couples competing in the World Championships on July 4-6, 2008.Mobile-phone throwing: In the homeland of Nokia, what could be more Finnish than this one? The next World Championships will be held on August 30, 2008 at Riihisaari in Savonlinna, eastern Finland. The organizer promises to provide “official WC mobile phones... During the throw the competitor must stay within the throwing area. The phone must land within the marked throwing sector.” Contestants may be relieved to learn that “there will be no doping tests. However the jury can rule out the contestant if his/her mental or physical preparedness is not adequate for full a performance.” 上海机票 (http://www.jipiao101.cn/)Sauna bathing contest: Some would say that sitting naked in a hot chamber is eccentric enough, but Finns have taken their national pastime a step further with an endurance test to determine the ‘World Champion’ at sauna bathing. The 10th Sauna World Championships will be held at Heinola on August 8-9, 2008. As many as 80 participants from 16 countries as varied as Kazakhstan and South Korea attended this increasingly popular competition in 2007. “Competitors have to sit in the sauna with buttocks and thighs on the seat,” say the rules. “Posture must be erect; elbows must stay on the knees and arms have to be in an upright position. The competitor will have to leave the sauna without outside help, otherwise the he/she will be disqualified.” Call the Heinola tourist office for more information on +358 0(3) 849 3615. 上海特价机票 (http://www.jipiao101.cn/shtjjp/shtjjp.html)Twangy Guitar Festival: The Taarasti art centre in Nastola near Lahti was the venue on June 28, 2008, for the annual celebration of that peculiarly Finnish style of guitar playing, a kind of melancholy country sound often preferred at lakeside summer dances.Air guitar playing: What is it about Finns and guitars? Or in this case, Finns who wish they had guitars? Masters of the phantom instrument gather each year at the Club Teatria in Oulu in northern Finland. Would-be Jimi Hendrixes and aspiring Brian Mays congregate to trade licks and strut their stuff, with ‘training camps’, lectures and demonstrations of the ‘sport’, as well as the competition itself. Traditional Finnish dominance has been challenged recently: the 2006 winner hailed from Japan, with runners-up from Australia and Germany. The venue will be held August 20-22, 2008. 上海飞机票 (http://www.jipiao101.cn/shgnjp/shgnjp.html)Winter swimming: Ellivuori in Vammala, southern Finland, was the venue in February 2007 for the annual Winter Swimming Finnish Championships.
