In the months leading up to the release of ATYCLB, the band's website offered up, one by one, little flash animations that you could download and play on your computer. The file would play snippets of the new songs (Kite and When I Look at the World were the two I remember most) with very simple...

Hi All - I wondered if any Mac users out there could give me a recommendation for some sound-editing software. When I had a PC, I was an avid user of Creative's WAV-editing tools and used Roxio's CD Creator to convert formats and import audio from extranal sources like my turntable, cassette...

What appears on this page may change someday, but it's pretty funny now. http://www.amazon.com/Stop-Clocks-Oasis/dp/B000JJSRU2/sr=8-12/qid=1164911234/ref=pd_bbs_12/102-3979710-6059321?ie=UTF8&s=music

Re: Re: Version of Walk On on U218 I don't think so -- that was the "Single Version" -- the 4:12 version that was done by Nigel Goodrich. Yes, they both fade-out with a repeated verse of "Halle-halle-hallelujah," but the true "Hallelujah Mix" is only 3:58. Also, it doesn't open with that quiet...

Seems like we're getting mixed signals on which version of Walk On is in the compilation. I've heard a rumor, based on "leaked" tracks, that it's 4:28 in length. I've also heard it's labeled the "Radio Edit." Here are all the studio versions I know of. Between 2000 and 2002, this was the...

If it is 2008 for the new album, that means they will attempt to release *something* in fall 2007 -- probably something from the vaults. Could very well be the DVD of PopMart.

As experimental and out there as Passengers was, there's quite a bit of U2 flavor in it, undeniably. And the argument could be made that it was an essential exercise for the band to reach the next few artistic points on the plotline of its career. 1. United Colours of Plutonium. I always...

Put me in the "Love it" camp -- I thought it was a refreshing take on the Righteous Bros. version, which felt dated to me. It is simple, tender, and raw. I also always thought it sounded kind of sexy -- a good candle-lit room song, with the sleepy distortion in the beginning and then the...

Fun game. I made one of these once and called it "U2tronic." Using your favorites, I'd sequence them this way: 1. Zoo Station (Rock 2000 mix) 2. Lady With the Spinning Head (Extended Dance Remix, I assume?) 3. Staring at the Sun (Monster Truck) 4. Mofo (Phunk Force) 5. Lemon (Bad Yard...

I had some fun with this once trying to sequence and fade in songs for a fantasy set list in iTunes. It sort of worked. I called it Popsicle. 1. Popmuzik --> (into...) 2. Even Better Than the Real Thing (opening with the Appollo 440 sample and into a live band version) 3. Zooropa (minus the...

Kind of pointless to add another viewpoint to this debate, but what the heck. Far as I can see, there's three major viewpoints: 1.) People disappointed that this release wasn't more aimed at loyal fans and showcased truly the band's best work, whatever it be. Stay, One Tree Hill, Acrobat...

Nicely put. I couldn't agree more. Thanks for taking the time to craft such smart commentary.

Always Forever Now-->Always-->Beautiful Day Everyone obviously knows about the link between Always and Beautiful Day, but listen to all three of these and see if you notice cameos of some of the synthesized sounds from Always Forever Now in Beautiful Day (listen deep into the mix). And there's...

I thought maybe that was the case. I'll have to find out which ones--looks like it was Popmart shows in Canada, Califronia, and Chicago. And this is my point--without careful transcription, a collector would never know based on a setlist whether to seek a show that has "Hallelujah" listed as a...
