Shuttlecock XXXIII: Is Bono Actually Enrico Palazzo? Discuss.

[elevated_u2_fan]

ugh, I'm glad I wasn't invited to that...

 

[u2popmofo]

I was, and your days are numbered, Elfa.

 

[IWasBored]

Also awesome to BG.

Spoiler

I've still never been to New York.

even the guy who's been everywhere hasn't been everywhere?

 

[martha]

Ah crap. A friend's wife died yesterday. Melanoma. He's been married many, many times, but she was finally the right one. They only had a few years together. He's going to be shattered when it finally sinks in.

 

[Jive Turkey]

I'm truly sorry to hear that, Martha

[martha]

Thanks, guys.

 

[corianderstem]

How awful - I'm so sorry.

 

[KhanadaRhodes]

i'm so sorry, martha.

 

[elevated_u2_fan]

last post on Jan 17th and it was about somebody dying? (sorry martha )

geez you guys, way to keep the thread going

so the tour is ending in Moncton? Really? Moncton?

Also, I don't have the patience to wade through hours of pointless drivel over in the album thread - what is the status on the new album and what are our chances of actually seeing it released before the tour comes back?

Not that I want to be helpful to you, but...

U2 to release new album on May 27? | News | NME.COM

GFY

 

[elevated_u2_fan]

a thank you and a GFY to you as well good sir!

 

[BoMac]

How have you been, douchey?

 

[elevated_u2_fan]

alright I guess,

Still out of a job wich sucks on many levels at this point but we are scratching by.

Are you still out west?

Maybe if you would actually have some skills, you'd be employed by now. No, seriously, I'm sure something good will happen soon.

You'll definitely get a job before the Leafs have a playoff year, so there's that.

I am still in beef and oil country, yes. I'll probably make my way out to the Moncton show because there's no way I can miss Arcade Fire and the 'Cock on the same bill. I mean, I've seen them play together three times, but that wasn't outdoors, in front of 85,000 people, and in a WTF-type place like Moncton.

May 27th is a Friday. It's also 3 days after I see them here, so I choose to hope they'll release it BEFORE I see them, otherwise I will be VERY unhappy to see a show where I'm not familiar with the new material.

 

[corianderstem]

People were yakking about that date being a Friday. Sounds like that actually would be a correct release date for the German Amazon site where it was found. Then someone else said that for past releases, a Friday release in Germany would translate into a Tuesday release in the US the following Tuesday, not before.

Unless I've already forgotten what I read three hours ago and have that backwards.

 

[coolian2]

plus it'll leak a week or two early anyway.

Which would make it the 31st here, if that date remained. Hopefully the band will realize the stupidity in beginning a tour before the album's released (even though it's finished), and push to have it out at least the week before the tour starts. Otherwise, I'll be hoping some music store in Australia accidentally sells it early again, as there's no way I'm illegally downloading a leak.

I'm listening to the Cape Town broadcast and have learned that my broken toe from last fall can now sustain the impact of serious jumping up and down.

 

[corianderstem]

Joyful! How the heck have you been?

crazy crazy busy but really good

I saw Irvine511 in DC recently, so he can confirm I am alive and well and busy.

E tu?

 

[corianderstem]

Glad to hear it.

 

[joyfulgirl]

Irvine had to fill me in on new U2 songs and forum gossip and stuff.

And we had Ethiopian food.

And I wish I had taken pictures instead of leaving my camera in the hotel.
