Here's a bunch of good songs from Coldplay, the british alternative rock band that probably all of you are aware of.

Viva la Vida (won 'em a Grammy too back then, methinks)


Life in Technicolor II (among the best live action music vids I've ever seen)


Paradise (the popular, elephant escape VEVO corporate upload is pointlessly shortened for my taste, so here's a proper edit with some beachfront views instead)


And no, I'm not gonna post fokn Clocks; this ain't the backdrop to some teen american TV drama from the mid-naughties, damnit!

God I hate Coldplay. Such utter teenage pop drivel Although they have sold about 18 billion albums, so maybe it's just me.


Tombstone

I love Coldplay, so maybe it's only you.

A nice combination of Japanese and English lyrics and a great rock song. It is played during the credits of the movie "Rurouni Kenshin". I already posted the battle theme of that movie in this thread.

Eman, I sympathise...why is it that language teachers seem to be so sadistic? I think they feel the only way to get you to remember something is to go for maximum humiliation

My German teacher made us learn 99 luftballons by Nena. I remember when she appeared on Top of the Pops in the UK and traumatised a generation of British youth as she raised her arm to reveal underarm hair so long it could have been plaited! :o

Well, if our teachers are sadists, then they fit to us language-learning masochists really well, don't they?

I sang "99 Luftballons" during Karaoke in Japan, but I actually don't know the song very well. But it was one of the few German songs they had in every karaoke machine, even though the umlauts were wrong....

I'm sure you must have sung Dschinghis Khan in karaoke? :singer:

The Germans in our group always chose it...

That's a popular drinking song. I don't know it very well, but I sang it during karaoke with a Finnish friend.

We also sang this:

Good old Rammstein

Some friends of mine used to like Bestrafe Mich, but I don't think they got what the song was about...

I only like a few Rammstein songs. Yeah, most people like them until they get the meaning....


This is hilarious!

Hello guys,

this is something very unusual, astonishing and, to be onest, just fucking awesome.

A pianist in Poland built (probably for the first time in history) a musical instrument that Leonardo Da Vinci designed about 500 years ago.
It's like a cello, a piano and an harpsichord all fused together.

Sometimes I found myself to be very proud of the kind of beauty and magnificence that humanity might be capable of. This is one of these days.

Enjoy!
