    Album 13: Arguing/Punning/Meme-ing/Discussion thread

    Sorry if this has been asked, but does anyone know if the commercial will air in Canada during the SB? We always get hosed up here because of this: Super Bowl advertising or commercials often aren't aired in Canada | CRTC

    Taking a 9 yr old to see U2

    Hey, i'm taking my 9 year old to the Vancouver show also (section 228 or something). I took him to Radiohead show at Thunderbird Stadium last August. He loved it (even though it stormed majorly).

    October 28 - Vancouver BC Canada

    Man, i only meant to buy 4 tickets for Vancouver, but ended up with 6. Not sure how i did that. (Overly excited, i suppose.) Section 229, Row HH. It's one of the ones behind the stage. Is the view going to be obstructed by stacks of amps and the sound system? I can't tell from the U2.com...

    U2 interview on Pitchfork.

    No, the NLOTH review was done by Ryan Dombal (or something). The interviewer is Mark Richardson...the only album review he's listed of doing of U2's stuff is the U2 Singles release (he gave it a 7). This Pitchfork interview was one of the strangest i've ever seen. I think, like everyone else...

    Unknown Caller appreciation thread

    One of the best U2 songs ever. So many great moments. The solo. The lyrics. The way Bono sings the main parts keeps me coming back again and agin. And (many others here at Interference have said this also) that synth break after "don't move or say a thing" is in my top 3 favorite u2 song moments...

    BREATHE Appreciation - Discuss

    CD lyrics say "there's a few things i need you to know." But...for the past month or so of listening to the leaked version, before i got the album package in the mail, i also thought he was saying "there's three things i need you to know" and then "three!" (you know, like the old dis: "I got...

    NLOTH Album Reviews - Professional / Web / Mag Reviews ONLY

    Canada's Globe & Mail: it says two and a half stars at the site, but i don't know whether that's out of 4 or 5 stars (i think the Globe only goes up to 4). I hate reviewers who's comments, in the end, negate each other. This reviewer loves to "loll about" in these songs, but they are "pompous...

    All deluxe versions delayed in Canada

    I just ordered from Amazon.ca this afternoon, and they replied by email saying i should get it by March 5th. I had first checked the Futureshop site, and they were saying delivery wouldn't be until after March 13th.

    Ranking the songs after >10 days

    I think they all get either A or A+ from me. All i know is, this is the only U2 album that i don't skip a song, even their supposed top albums (AB: i skip Mysterious Ways and Trying to Throw; JS: i skip Trip Through Your Wires; and UF, my previous fav album, i skip Indian Summer Sky and Elvis in...

    U2 at the BBC (Radio 2)

    Nope. Doesn't work out here in Vancouver. C'mon "British" Broadcasting Company. We're "British" Columbia out here.

    U2 listeners forty and over

    I'll be 45 in June. First heard U2 in the fall of '82...first year university (Regina, Saskatchewan, Canada...eh). The campus radio station had Boy only and they played the shyte out of it. And then came War, and the world really took off. I remember the local radio station in that early part of...

    BREATHE Appreciation - Discuss

    My fav song on the album. This song has all the best attributes (too many to name) of U2 in one song. The only thing that could've made it even better was if they had included that little guitar (keyboard?) bridge from the beach version right before Edge's long solo.

    Is the album version of Breathe a lot different from the beach clip version? (Sorry, haven't received mine yet...but i will from the other thread.)

    30 Sec Clips of NLOTH!!!! DISCUSSION ONLY (Do not post download links!!)

    I won't go into track by track, but i am curious about Breathe. The 30-sec version sounds different from the beach clip for sure...Bono going into that first chorus. I think i prefer the beach-clip version, but it's hard to tell, as the 30-sec clip ends just when it seems it was about to take...

    NLOTH Reviews Pt 2

    Haven't heard much about Larry's drumming (other than "are those electric drums on GOYB?") from the reviewers. Walt, can you generalize Larry's contribution? Like, does Larry sound...inspired? Are his drum patterns just as diverse as the songs (and Bono and Edge) sound? etc., etc.

    You've heard GET ON YOUR BOOTS? - Post all thoughts, reviews, discussion HERE Part 4

    Alright. Fan since the first album (i'm 45...UF is fav album). Finally got to listen to this. Must say song just nails everything right. It feels fresh and exciting and like a huge step forward for this band. Each band member shines (even with not-ideal sound quality as it's posted). Cannot...

    U2 NLOTH Boxset

    So, let me get this straight. On the CD cover, there's a line over the horizon, and a line under the horizon, but no line ON the horizon (which is a line all by itself)? That's deep sh!t, mang...

    Those Muslims Must Be As Backwards As Americans

    Oktar can't be the Mahdi. The Mahdi's at the bottom of a well outside the Jamkaran Mosque in Jamkaran, Iran. He's been waiting in caves and then this well for over 1,100 years (btw, what is it with my former bretheren and their hiding in caves and holes in the ground?). And, yeah, he's waiting...

    RA D IOHE_AD "IN/RAINBOWS" continuing discussion thread part VI

    For me, Videotape is the song of the decade. And this is the best album by Radiohead so far...a huuuge accomplishment.

    108 Die in Blast Near Bhutto in Karachi

    It'll be interesting to see how, or whether, Musharraf and Bhutto use this [if Musharraf wasn't involved] to strengthen their alliance i.e. "democracy with security" or whatever...change through fear...they can continue their push-pull toward their own individual goals citing a common enemy...

    Canada = buncha potheads

    Yup...different tokes for different folks. -------- More cannibis research is obviously needed...it does have huge medical potential. (http://www.drugpolicy.org/docUploads/lancet_therapeutic.pdf) But, recreationally, i don't know why it should be demonized more than alcohol.
