I need lunch. But I can't be bothered making anything, and it's too cold to go outside and buy something.

I may just go and drum for a while.

Cold? COLD? It's FANTASTIC outside. So fresh and crisp and nice. When I went out at 9:30, the Bureau was recording the temperature up my end of town as 6.7, with the apparent temperature actually down at 4.6. Now it's 11.2 (9.8 apparent). Delightful. I love autumn.

Guys... YTMND - What is Indiana Jones?

Thank me later.

Where do you find these things...

It might be jumping the gun but it can't hurt, right? I will become a famous comic book writer or die trying. If I want more than anyone else it is in reach.

Like this famous poet:

Dude, their guitar player even moves like the Edge whilst playing.

I think if Coldplay did a video where they just stood still, people here would think they were trying to be U2.

Re. Coldplay:
The only time I ever was like, wow they're the same group was the first time I heard Speed of Sound. I really did think it was a U2 song I just didn't know.

When I first heard Speed Of Sound, I thought "oh, it's Clocks ... wait, this isn't Clocks ... Clocks Part II?"

YTMND, short for You're the Man Now Dog, is one of the best sites on the Interwebz.

Dude, I'm Asian. Where I come from, 20 degrees is considered freezing. People go up to the hills (which have a temperature of about 20, 22 degrees) dressed like people are now, only with more padding and insulation.

I don't keep journals. It just seems like I'm writing a large blackmailing of myself. Haven't done a thing like it in five years.

hehehehe


hey kids, aural hallucinations are bad news.

Nah, people'd probably start accuse them of trying to be Oasis.

 

[major_panic]

That being said, the ad actually looks pretty good. And the music's not bad either (I think)

 

[Screwtape2]

I don't think Coldplay sounds anything like U2. It is a knee jerk reaction to a deep seeded fear that U2 isn't the best band or biggest band in the world. Ever since Bono said U2 were trying to be the biggest band in the world, this fear has been around. If not Coldplay, a different band. The U2 fandom has a great fear that brings out jealousy and anger. You can hate Coldplay but to say they are ripping off U2 is pathetic and sad. I'm sorry but that is what I believe.

It is so sad how true that is.

Dude, you were born in BRITAIN. Don't use your race as a cop-out here.

Also, checking the Moorabbin Airport station (I think you said that's the one closest to you in a previous thread?), it's actually been warmer down your way this morning than here. I'm still waiting for it to get cold enough to justify getting out the heater. I'm sitting around in t-shirt and trousers now.

 

[major_panic]

Just watched the Vertigo iTunes ad, and there's some serious

WE R SRS RAWK STARZ

happening there. Especially Adam and Bono.

Funny thing is, that ad's what got me into U2 in the first place!

The irony is that the fear is unfounded. U2 is still the biggest band in the world when you take into account both album sales and tour revenue.

But we know what some U2 fans are like. Just take a stroll through EYKIW...

I've never thought it any other time, but as far as Speed of Sound is concerned, I had no IDEA who I was listening to, that's why I was so confused. I knew it could't be U2, but I was convinced it was.

 

[Screwtape2]

So I'm finished with my first original comic book script. I just have to read it through again tomorrow to make sure everything is right. Who would like to read it? The dialouge and characters really come out. I assure you all it is pretty good.

I think they sound similar, especially on some songs, but hell, they do have their own sort of sound, and occasionally make decent music. I might even have to look at this new album of theirs.

Post it here and we'll all have a go at critiquing / providing feedback?

Exactly. The best band in the world is subjective and Coldplay will never reach the popularity of U2. I wish people would back off and either like Coldplay or move on.

YouTube - Coldplay - Beautiful Day

I'll be the judge of that, Screws.

Can you send me a copy please? prisonjake@yahoo.com

Also, are you a DC or Marvel guy?

I don't know what the temperature is, and I don't really care. I just want warmth damn it! It's probably cause I haven't opened any of the blinds in the room yet...

I know. I admit that Coldplay are heavily influenced. The band even said it was heavily influenced by Kate Bush's Running Up That Hill. You can hear it too.

DC FOR GREAT JUSTICE!

(actually I like both, but tend to prefer DC, myself)

And Screwy, I'd not mind having a look either, if you don't mind, of course. uwenlow@gmail.com

Vertigo iTunes ad: Watch as Bono pretends to be a 5 year old pretending to be a rock star, Edge makes it very clear who the ultimate guitar player is by showing us every huge riff he hits, Adam takes Bono on for "SRS MOOZUSHUN" poses and looks, and Larry looks like he's a bored robot!

 

[The Sad Punk]

Hey guys.

Screwtape, I'd like to read your script, especially since I plan on writing/illustrating a comic sometime in the near future.

See, I think it's a bit too warm in my place and I'd like to let some of the cool outside air in.

But if I opened a window, then I couldn't sing along with my music.
