New album talk - album coming when fish start riding bicycles

[Reg McGowan]

Maybe it's just an AirPlay on sunday not a physical release...

That would be interesting...we'll have to wait. I'm sure we will get a single title by the end of the month.

I am too very skeptical of this. I still think we're at least 3 months away from a single.

 

[Galeongirl]

Who goes to a store to buy a single anymore? iTunes is open 24/7.

Don't make me sound so old.

If we listened to every rumour on Facebook, Manhatten would have leaked by now - and the second album's track listing would have been posted.

I can't remember the last time I saw a CD single for sale in a store. I buy albums from local stores all the time. But singles? I've had to order all the U2 singles from NLOTH from Amazon.

What kind of fish? Or are they just fishing for information?

I don't remember, but at least I can tell you no bikes were involved.

I'm skeptical about anything not posted in American.

All american good looks.

the Newbury Comics store in my local mall carries singles from time to time. I bought the Magnificent, City of Blinding Lights and Stuck in a Moment singles there recently, as well as all three Electrical Storm versions that came out years ago.

Ok, so a LOCAL German radio station announces a U2 single release on a Sunday.

No way.

There's nothing about it on the German U2 board, and they would have the story and usually have very good connections.

Last single I bought was Vertigo on CD when it came out in 2004...since then, iTunes rules the record sale world

I still think we'll get a single by the end of the year without a doubt. If album is out in February like Larry confirmed, I'm betting on an early december single...

The Broken Bells teaser sounds like the Beegees

 

[Mrs. Garrison]

so do the Bee Gees

 

[Registered Dude]

Loving that teaser.

And the Bono-esque falsetto that kicks in around the 45 second mark has me feeling giddy for what DM can do with the u2 sound https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LVdHKUr12Og&feature=youtube_gdata_player

Shoot me now!

Especially since Bono's voice sounds so good in the This is cover. I want to hear this powerful voice Lanois was jealous of.

You bought every single from NLOTH?

Do their singles even come with any B-sides nowadays? I don't know. I can't even remember the last time I bought a single. It's only about albums for me.

Could be the date it's released for airplay?

Mostly remixes.

 

[jeevey]

Is anyone else a little surprised that the news of the photoshoot and the whole band being together lately does not seem to be making it out of the fan sites? A couple of months ago Alan Carr and Rolling Stone made note of these things but now they are not. We've seen them pick up on lots of tiny stuff from the fan sites, so is this intentional silence-keeping on the part of the press?

 

[Registered Dude]

Alan Cross mentioned the photoshoots..


of course, it could be that after years of "Album"/"no album", media outlets are saying, fuck it: nothing to report here.
