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...

Numb

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...

If I'm wrong on this, someone please set me straight. It seems like in a lot of inventories, setlist scribes will note that Bono did a lyrical snippet from "Hallelujah" at the end of, say, "Walk On" or "Running to Stand Still." I think this is terribly misleading. The live versions I've heard...

A perspective from the East Coast of the United States: Pride With or Without You One Beautiful Day Where the Streets Have No Name Desire Still Haven't Found Sweetest Thing Mysterious Ways New Years Day Vertigo Sunday Bloody Sunday All I Want Is You -- These are all songs I know I hear several...

Good review. Thanks for your reporting from the field. I would say, however, as one who only saw photos and a setlist on paper, I didn't at all get the impression this was a greatest-hits package, not with the exclusion of "With or Without You," "Mysterious Ways," "Still Haven't Found," and any...

Exactly -- and even if the child is 18, you would be kneeling because you still think of them as a child. I kneel because I want you some more -- want it to be like when you were so little I had to get on my knees to play with you and talk to you. But it's also that old metaphor for praying...

Souly -- E-mail me at MixingBliss@msn.com and let's see what we can work out. I think I've contacted the rest of you. If not, send me an e-mail at that address.

If you pay the postage, you may have any of the following 12-inch singles: The Unforgettable Fire single from Australia, which has the alternate versions of "A Sort of Homecoming (live)" and "Love Comes Tumbling." It also has "Unforgetable Fire" misspelled on the back. The Even Better Than the...

I would also add to this a few compilation and soundtrack songs, though there may be licensing problems for these, too: Until the End of the World (soundtrack mix) Until the End of the World (live from Greenpeace II album) Stay (Faraway Mix) The Wanderer (Faraway Mix) I'm Not Your Baby (from...

Here's my best estimate of what's missing, using the conventional criteria (stuff that had been released in some form at one time): Here's probably the biggest holes--stuff I really would have expected to see included: Can't Help Falling in Love (Mystery Train Dub) Lemon (Bad Yard Club Edit)...

There's one thing I'm a little blown away by, and no one has mentioned it. The digital box set has 400 songs. 400 songs. By my count, U2's 11 albums, plus two Best-of sets (with bonus B-sides), plus two EPs, plus two fan-club discs totals up to about 224 songs. What are the remaining 176...

Does anyone know of a book besides the Bible that gives a histrorical account of Jesus's life? I'm curious to see what details outside of the scriptures have been learned about his life. I suppose I'm looking for something based in some anthropology and analysis of other, non-Biblical texts...
