I have an acoustic version of Laid that's not too shabby. It's played in a club setting, very intimate sounding. Let me know, and I'll throw it up for your perusal.
that would be great - I had forgotten what a great song that is - I had always linked this song with Just Like Heaven - probably because of subject matter:)

on a different topic I saw a commercial today that greatly upset me - It was for Ritz crackers with Modern English's "I Melt with You" playing over an animated cracker
It was so not right

Yeah, that's not the first time that song has been used improperly. I think they hawked for Burger King before that. Well, if you want to help defend U2, you can always point to I Melt With You as truly selling out.

The song will be up soon. I think it's interesting how we all associate things differently. For example Just Like Heaven and Laid came out 6 years apart! The reason why I even took a chance on James in the first place is because Brian Eno was producing them back then. (1993) It was magical time of music discovery for me :D -- Ok Laid is up there.

I'm happy to say that I've gotten Nurse Chrissi... Laid

In terms of the deleting issue - Yes if you have your ipod set to automatically update songs/ipod
if you don't want this to happen (say you have more songs in your itunes library that what you want on your ipod) go to preferences
ipod
click manually manage songs and playlist - this way you have to drag and click each song onto your ipod - plus it lets you hook your ipod up to other computers with itunes

** Bartender gets up after watching U2 on SNL with a fat grin on his face **

Appletini's coming up!

** Mixes up a little sour apple mix and Vodka, stirs it up and pours a couple of drinks for the ladies **

When the customers speak, we try to respond, we'll serve just about anything liquid here... within reason :shifty: :D

** Thinks about the feasibilty of flavored coffee :hmm: **

We already serve tea, why not more coffee choices? :yes:
