What's happening?

Making sure I didn't screw up the adding of the nominations and all that for the Artist League and also randomly flipping through tv channels while drinking a cup of tea

yourself?

This is sounding really good, and that's coming from someone who doesn't care overly much for Boy

So it's worth buying? I don't usually bother with remastered albums, but god knows U2's first three could use some patching up.

Let me listen to the bonus discs before I advise because. Honestly, yes Boy sounds better, but I'm not a stickler for that kind of stuff, so I don't know how big a difference it makes. My big deal is that i've never heard October, that's why I want it.

 

[bono_212]

Oh WOW. Out of Control sounds amazing!

Okay.

You'll be lucky to hear October for the first time in its remastered state! The original sounds like it was recorded inside a water drum. (Songs are awesome, though.)

By the way, I meant to ask: did you end up watching Wall-E the other day?

Having breakfast and coming to grips with having two weekends a week. It's weird.

no because my little brother got RIDICULOUSLY sick and ended up going to the ER. I'll probably take him this weekend

And I always meant to get October, then the rumors about the remasters came out, so I decided to wait. However, I did eventually buy it on cassette for $2 and...my response to the first two or three tracks was NOT kind.

I personally found October rather tough to get into, but once you're in.....

 

[Its Britastic!]

Mom is MAD at you for making fun of him

Haha... I went outside and started riding it around the front yard and he kept watching me from the window so when he stopped watching me I came inside and started fake crying... haha that was funny. Hes mad at me too.

Why'd you take his bandaid off?!

 

[bono_212]

forgot how much I love Another Time, Another Place. Everytime I listen to Boy I remember it's not as bad as I thought it would be.

 

[Its Britastic!]

I forreal didnt do that. I dont know why he said I did that.

 

[bono_212]

Liar.

 

[Dalton]

Oh man, that reminds me.

About a year ago, I was watching TV with my roommate. One of those annoying (RED) mobile phone adverts came on, claiming that the campaign would donate a kilo of food to Africa for every phone purchased. Said roommate turned to me and said "You're too thin. Don't worry, I'll go out and buy a red phone."

Classic.

 

[Its Britastic!]

Liar.

No Im really not... He is!

Reach out, rejoice!

Oh man...I've heard Rejoice like twice because of DI lists but like many things...maybe in context.


This unreleased version of IWF is pretty cool..I like whatever added instrument that is in the background, can't really tell.

And also, that bit of Fire after SATT was pretty cool, kinda left you hanging

And I LOVE SATT, that's a song I forget about a lot.

 

[Dalton]

GG, where in SA are you from again and why did you move to the great white north?

 

[coolian2]

One of my favourite songs on one of their best albums.

 

[bono_212]

I've never heard Touch before...not really getting a lot from it.

 

[bono_212]

Oh My! Speed of Life was pretty cool. It was instrumental, and all 70s U2ish at that. Awesome.

 

[GibsonGirl]

Cape Town. My parents felt it was time to emigrate (the sanctions of the late 80s financially fucked everyone over for the next ten years, even those of us who opposed apartheid) so I was dragged along.

 

[phillyfan26]

So, U2 and Bowie both have instrumental tracks called Speed of Life. Interesting.

T-t-touuuching yoooou. Never cared for it.

U2 steal from Bowie, Coldplay steals from U2, Coldplay steal from Bowie?
