not one big thing.. it's the little things...
- band are talking about the album as though it's a done deal
- Bono citing Best Thing as "first single"
- production company tweets out that they're shooting a video with U2, then deletes tweet
- U2songs drops hint about at a December 1 release. If you follow their admins on twitter, you'll see that these folks are close to certain key figures in u2-world
- Bono playing SOE tracks to Pittsburgh media
- rumour about a summer single
yes, we've been here before.. and there's still time to put things off. But if it IS happening, new music is close
Whoa, i knew all of this except for the Bono playing songs for Pitt media.
Was there any written or verbal reaction from those that heard it? Pretty cool.

oh c'mon, this has been happening for years
seriously, all of the above is actually an annual occurrence in U2 land
we could get another excuse in September that the band has been blown away by the response of this tour, and want to take that creative energy into the studio.
That seems just like something they would do but I'm not sure if that would happen this time around. They will have so much momentum built by the end of the tour. Retreating into the studio for another year after talking about the new album and CLOSING shows with a new song just would make absolutely no sense.

Nothing this band has done has made any sense since Vertigo tour.
Every decision since then has been baffling.
-abandon LeoNothing this band has done has made sense since they scrapped the album they were making with Chris Thomas. Since they they've basically been a disaster. Maybe it all went wrong with the William Orbit sessions? I believe, without any evidence, that they were going to record an album with him and then bailed.
- abandon Orbit album (?)
- scrap Thomas album, causing delay
- bring in Lillywhite
- scrap Rubin album
- bring in Eno & Lanois
- delay album
- abandon Morrocan influenced art album for a compromised monstrosity
- record with Danger Mouse
- have it ready, then delay it for more work
- rework album with Tedder and Epworth
- have next album nearly ready
- work with every second rate producer alive
- delay, delay, delay
- random TJT tour while finishing (???) SOE
- still mixing, probably writing new stuff
I'm probably forgetting some things or getting some things wrong but U2 post-ATYCLB have been a complete mess
Hmmm should we be a little concerned that TLTTGYA seems to have gone MIA?, this band literally make no sense sometimes, Bono himself saying he didn't like the idea of having no new songs at all and that is what is happening now
Well The Killers released a new single today which I love and they have an album coming out soon. Arcade Fire have an album out soon as well. If we don't get SOE this year there's new music and other artists to listen to.

And they were tight lipped on Kimmel.
Back on the road in the Spring to keep management happy?
