ONE love, blood, life
The late night/early morning February 17/18, 2009. Who could forget it.
This is the leak thread it happened in - "NLOTH: Do You Feel Leaked???? Leak Thread Part XI"
http://www.u2interference.com/forums/f196/nloth-do-you-feel-leaked-leak-thread-part-xi-193633.html
Highlights in case you've forgotten:
7:23PM: LemonMelon starts the thread:
11:15PM: lortonz - never heard from before or after that night - posts, as his first post ever on this forum, a link to a site containing longer clips of every track on NLOTH than we had previously heard. After literally days of fruitlessly waiting for something, anything, this excites everyone.
11:26PM: AtomicBono is the first person to notice that there is a 'buy mp3' button on the site.
11:29PM: In a frenzy over the longer clips, no one quite notices what AtomicBono said, so she says it again.
People take notice this time, and a bunch of people start saying to try it:

11:32PM: adh1542 becomes the forum's guinea pig
adh1542 keeps everyone updated with the download percentage as everyone waits(and a couple more people try to download it...popacrobat was the other one I saw).
11:37PM: adh1542's download is complete and he is about to see if it is real. Everyone holds their breath.
11:38PM: adh1542 alerts everyone that it is indeed real and full.
And then everyone goes nuts.
This thread is dedicated to the person who quite possibly lost his/her job over having enabled the 'buy' button, and to lortonz, who still only has two posts from that night, for bringing the site to our attention, to AtomicBono for spotting the buy button, to adh1542 for testing the file for us, and to U2 for making the music.

The madness continues.

This is my first post....
This website has the longest previews of the songs I've heard so far...nearly 1 minute.
Sorry if this was posted before.

Buying each track costs more than it does to preorder the entire album. There could be a difference.
