    Anyone for a Desert Island?

    So, er, I don't come here as often as I used to. But I'd like to. And a DI would be a wonderful way to reconnect with y'all. I definitely have the listening time available for this. And I've been meaning to make a new list for years now. Anyone else as keen as I am?

    FRIGHTENED RABBIT: The Winter of Mixed Drinks <3

    New album means a new thread. I have the new album. It's really really fucking good. You can have it too, if you're industrious.

    Bootleg Tagging

    So, I'm a tagging Nazi, and I won't add any bootlegs to my iPod until I can figure out the perfect system for tagging. I'm tossing and turning with the date format I'm going to use, and whether I'm going to put the stadium and the tour name in the tag. And don't even get me started of...

    Triple J Hottest 100 of All Time

    So, in case you've been living under a rock in Australia, or just overseas - Triple J is an Aussie radio station that, this week, starting today, is counting down the Top 100 songs of all time as voted by the plebs that listen to it. The story so far: 81 Common People Pulp England 1995 82...

    Fuck you.

    That's my message to you if you don't like 'positive' U2. Me and my mate were having a heart to heart earlier about how cynical people with agendas can drag your life down. We were on a U2 kick, and we were listening to songs like Yahweh, Walk On and Grace, which get a bad wrap around these...

    This decade's greats

    The other thread gave me an idea - what are the records that people are going to look back on and call defining? I'm not asking for your favourites - well, I am, but your favourites balanced with sales, impact, cultural acceptance and critical evaluation. I don't want your favourite obscure...

    fuck off.

    LCD Soundsystem are amazing.

    Don't know if they have their own thread since I can't search. But Sound of Silver is one of the best albums I've ever heard.

    My alternate HTDAAB

    I know there's about a million of these threads, but I can't search, so meh. Just whipped this up and it kicks all kinds of ass. 1 - City of Blinding Lights 2 - Vertigo 3 - Miracle Drug 4 - Sometimes You Can't Make It On Your Own (the version from the Bonus DVD) 5 - Love and Peace or Else 6 -...

    Perfect time and place for a U2 song...

    surely we've all been in situations where you've got your iPod plugged in and U2's playing and the song just fits the time and place you're in perfectly... what/when/where/etc. for moi: -IYWTVD: just now, walking back from the computer labs on campus back to my room. it was dark, quiet and i...

    Mercy - lyrically weak?

    i really do like Mercy, and i do think it has the potential to be a classic... but before this happens, it needs to be reworked lyrically in parts. musically, it's fantastic. but some of the lyrics are just so... dumb, and lame, and so, so obvious, they can't hold a candle to U2's better work...

    my first dream about U2

    so i was back home in Adelaide at my Aunty's house. but it wasn't a regular day. i was watching U2 live on TV, they were playing in Adelaide that day and i assume they thought it was a good idea to broadcast it live on TV. i also assume it wasnt their only adelaide show, because i would have...

    One Step Closer: The nearly-classic

    OSC. It's a very good song, one of my favourites, but it can be made far better, if it's performed live. You get the feeling listening to it that it's definitely building up to something - it was made to be performed live, basically. The only things missing from this song are a life...

    Greatest hits - with a farken good twist

    OK, you gotta compile your own greatest hits album... HOWEVER... You can only choose a track in its original track listing spot... for example: Track 1 - has to be either Zoo Station, Streets, ASOH, Vertigo, I Will Follow, etc... Track 2 - has to be Miracle Drug, EBTTRT, Elevation, etc... I...

    Album covers

    Yo, where can I find pictures of the album covers (in particular Pop and AB), that are, well in true terms, as large as possible? I'd like to make a giant sticker of the AB album cover to put on the back of my laptop and I'm having trouble finding an image of an appropriate size.

    This segue would be badass.

    I don't know if it's been done before... but after listening to these songs, one after the other, on shuffle, I thought they'd be awesome live. One Step Closer > Streets. The end of OSC could go into Streets much like the Slane DVD, and how AIWIY goes into Streets with that long note :drool...

    I finally figured out what Staring At The Sun is about...

    Look at the lyrics. It's true.
