I hope you had a great birthday curveaway. I am trying to message Gary on ican hover but don’t know how. if you know could you let me know!..
As far as I know, you can’t, because he has his ask box disabled. Probably to keep from being inundated by us crazies. ;) Do you have YOUR ask box activated? I’ve looked for it on your page, but...

Coldplay @ Glastonbury
A few observations
I’m actually starting to like the new “uniforms”. Not as “uniform-y” as the Viva outfits. That’s a good thing.
Guy looked like he was actually enjoying himself out there. Seemed to play with a lot more enthusiasm than he was at the end of the Viva tour.
Chris sounded really, really fantastic
Us Against the World is really lovely
That was...

My life on Earth (so far...)
Today I turn 35 years old. It’s funny, because I always looked at an age like 35 and thought, “Wow. That’s really grown-up.” And here I am. 35. Married. Two children. A dog. A mortgage. All those “grown-up” things are part of my life. ARE my life. But, I still feel kinda like a kid sometimes. My husband asked me yesterday, “When you were young, what did...

U2 still get me every time
Watching a stream from Glasto and though I haven’t listened to any U2 in months, they still have the ability to give me goosebumps. Their set is looking effing epic right about now.

"Moving To Mars" revisted
OK, so I’ve had the chance to listen to it a few more times. Apparently, it’s a grower for me. Here’s some more concrete observations and the few things that are keeping me from loving it whole-heartedly.
Don’t really like Chris’ vocals at the very beginning. I typically love when he sings in his lower register, but this just doesn’t sound great to me.
When...

Obama on gay rights →
It makes me sad that he can go as far as saying this, but can’t take that extra little step for fear of scandalizing/offending/pissing off one (closed-minded) segment of the population.
One day, hopefully very soon, we will look back at this whole debate with the same disbelief with which we now view laws that prohibited interracial marriage.
“I believe that gay couples deserve the...

icanhover:
just saw this. it is extraordinary. if you see two movies this summer… see this twice. ewan mcgregor hasn’t been better since trainspotting and christopher plummer is always incredible.
actually you could see Super 8 by JJ Abrams too. it’s like he took all my favourite movies when i was 12 years old (the goonies, ET, close encounters) and made them all at once with modern special...

(Watch!) Florence + the Machine live in LA →
NPR has an entire live show available to watch until June 28th. It will then be for sale on itunes. She’s fierce. Would love to see them live… they were just here taping an episode of Austin City Limits and I wasn’t one of the ones lucky enough to get tickets. :(

frosch0607 replied to your video: ACL Artist of the Day- Elbow- The Bones of You …
There are some great songs on “The Seldom Seen Kid”, but as a whole, “Build a Rocket, Boys!” works even better for me :)
That’s the new one, right? Thanks! I’ll definitely check it out!

pemberley-state-of-mind:
(pointetothesky asked me to make this one a reblog-able post. So here you are. I hope you like it).
That´s hard to say cause I love every single word pronounced by Matthew with his deep and beautiful voice.
1. “You must know. Surely you must know it was all for you”.
2. Of…
few things in life make me swoon the way this movie does. *sigh*

There’s a slight possibility it might actually rain today. Fingers crossed.
I can’t seem to drag myself away from the effing computer.
My summer schedule is not quite turning out the way I planned it (see above)

Awww, Jen, you’ll find them! Sometimes one can look EVERYWHERE but won’t find the thing and then, all of a sudden, it re-appears. I’ll keep my fingers crossed for you.

Coldplay's Glastonbury performance on VH1
approximatelyinfinite:
Automatic cheer-up about the NJ gig: They’re showing Coldplay at Glasto “live” on VH1 on Saturday at 10PM!
It was originally going to be shown in IMAX and I was going to go, but that was cancelled. I didn’t expect to be able to watch it from the comfort of my own home without using illegal proxies and streams from the UK!
What a lovely birthday present this will be from...

excuse me while I wallow.
I can’t find my engagement & wedding rings. It’s been a week now. I only take them off in 3 situations: when I’m showering, when I’m washing dishes and when I’m going to the gym. In each case, I have a distinct place I put them. I tore those places (and pretty much the rest of my house) apart looking for them. I had hope that they would pop up in a place...
