Shuttlecock XVI - Cobbler's Revenge

[Danny Boy]

You're not supposed to do that.

 

[GirlsAloudFan]

I'm not the only one staring at the sun, you guyz. Hahahahahaha. Whatever.

That's a good U2 song imo

 

[GirlsAloudFan]

So U2 is sending "Blackout" promotional shit to fan club members in the mail.

This is hot.

 

[coolian2]

The fan club gift is getting lazier by the year.

Next year: "what should we send?" "Ehhh.....do we have any business cards left? Send those"

Stealing from the Sun.

Some major insider info on a SOE listening party. Info on 4 different tracks but apparently not The Blackout.

Biggest nugget: guest vocals on one track by Lady Gaga??

 

[martha]

Thanks for posting that!

I AM EXClTED

"Summer of Love" sounds the most interesting of the four he talked about there. Also, sounds to me like Gaga might just be on some sort of backing vocals and not featured prominently on the track. Kinda like Chris Martin on "Iris (Hold Me Close)".

I'm excited too. Honestly, SOI wasn't horrible and it's the one late era album I can listen still its entirety. So I have high hopes for the next album.

 

[corianderstem]

SOI is very good, and I will not hear otherwise

 

[cobl04]

Nah, Songs of Innocence is bad and so was the release strategy. Here's hoping this is significantly better (which won't be hard)

Exactly. Really good album, especially the 2nd half.

and my axe!

 

[david]

SOI's backside is really good.

I think you and Travis are in the minority here as the big outspoken voices against SOI. And like David said:

SOI's backside is really good.

The back of SOI is the best series of tracks they've released this century with the possible exception of ATYCLB's first side.

 

[corianderstem]

Nah, Songs of Innocence is bad and so was the release strategy.

YOU'RE bad and so is YOUR release strategy.

 

[coolian2]

Can never argue with a good backside

 

[david]

Especially a backside as tight as SOI's.

 

[martha]

I prefer NLOTH to SOI as far as modern releases go.

No Line has better stuff up front, that's for sure.

But I do agree that the second half of SOI is the most consistent run they've had on an album since Pop, and for me that stretch includes Volcano too.

You need a good backside when your front side is so dull.

Absolutely. I love Volcano.

It's the Tits.

Fuckin LOL

 

[Kieran McConville]

What happens if they don't have any business cards (the nice ones in Cillian Rail) left? What then? An unused condom from Larry's stash? Or, God help us, a used one.

[Kieran McConville]

yaaay, a POP... thing.

 

[coolian2]

Those things are nearly old enough to gamble, which is fitting given that's what you'd be doing if you used one.
