SOE 28 - This is Meaningless. We're not getting anything newsworthy for a while

[Headache in a Suitcase]

I still don't get why people refuse to acknowledge that Ordinary Love did very well.

 

[kiwilad]

You know the one that always messed with me back in the day was With or Without You. I had this singer telling me he can't live with this person, or without them. The obvious conclusion was that the singer was about to die.

Eh...It did chart on the Hot 100 peaking at 84 but only for 2 weeks and that was due to the Oscar nomination/performance and it did horrible on radio.

I find it’s YouTube video views to be the most impressive aspect of that song at over 40 million,which blows my mind because I find it to be a snoozer but it seems to be liked by people, so I’m cool with that.

A single street in both examples you provided, and street cred is a single concept that grows as one entity. No-one has multiple ‘creds’ but they might have lots of ‘cred’.

Fucking autocucumber

speak for yourself. I have creds all over the fucking place.

I have no idea how well or not it did but it's a great tune.

Still cant believe it did not win against that idiot Disney nonsense.

speak for yourself. I have crabs all over the fucking place.

Hope you don't mind me correcting your spelling

Right... you don't like it. But it was had the most success of any song since No Line, and possibly since Bomb.

You can't just ignore that because it was helped by the Oscars and you don't like it.

The D.C. metro isn't just a metro, it's an idea.

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

And ideas shut down at 11

Where The Streets Have No Name
Where The Streets Have Zero Name
Where The Streets Have One Name
Where The Streets Have Two Names
Where The Streets Have All the Names
etc...

English is weird, right?!

That's genius, I like it.

Are we talking stone, king, dungeness, something else ?

 

[kiwilad]

I honestly don't know you well enough to comment

 

[LuckyNumber7]

I'm up your Zero Trees Hill right now, kiwilad.

 

[kiwilad]

I'm up your Zero Trees Hill right now, kiwilad.

Oh you are?! Bono still goes up there after each Auckland visit, apparently.

There is a new tree almost ready for transplanting to the summit. It's a long story...

 

[Danny Boy]

Where the hills have no tree...

 

[Iggy Fizz]

I honestly don't know you well enough to comment

Just having a laugh, it's all good

Aye. Do you think if I want long enough, Bono will appear?

I got just the right amount of gloom up here.

The YouTube stats are really surprising though, possibly anomalous, when you compare them with the chart performance and the last.fm stats. There are other songs with notable discrepancies between various platforms but Ordinary Love sticks out even among them.

Aye. Do you think if I want long enough, Bono will appear?

I got just the right amount of gloom up here.

If you stand on the hill at midnight and sing the song backwards three times into a mirror, Bono appears.

 

[LuckyNumber7]

What's really funny is there's totally sheep shit up here.

What sheep climb to the summit???

No. He won't. Cause U2 don't tour the antipodes. Cause they're... no, no I can't use that word.

Welcome to New Zealand, where there are sheep everywhere.

Except now the place is full of cows since we live under the Benevolent Dictatorship of Fonterra Dairy Co-operative.

I genuinely feel like I'm in Scotland.

 

[kiwilad]

Come to Dunedin. It actually is in Scotland. Just very very southern Scotland.

 

[LuckyNumber7]

We have a Dunedin, Florida. Means Edinburgh, doesn't it?

 

[kiwilad]

In Gaelic, yeah. Ours is colder than yours.

 

[LuckyNumber7]

In Gaelic, yeah. Ours is colder than yours.

Ours has more old people.

 

[kiwilad]

Ours has an uncanny amount of gingers

 

[LuckyNumber7]

Ours has an uncanny amount of people people who support the orange guy.

 

[kiwilad]

I can't trump that
