well, im in pittsburgh now for the semester...lovin every bit of it. The dorming life is quite the shit believe me. The courses im takin are pretty hard but im gettin by. But im lovin it down here...havent met any U2 fans yet but you know what they say about people from the south
As for the new album, i think it's great. Fav song by far is Sometimes You Can't Make It On Your Own...without question. I think its my favorite song ever. Ranking wise, I never had a favorite album of theirs anyways, so its kinda hard to place.
Unfortunately, I wont be able to see them at all on the first leg, which is good because i wont be spending any of my money for school (im not working down here) but bad because I was really looking forward to seeing them at least once. The fall leg of the tour should be good though...im really looking forward to that. Wherever they come close I want to see them
Im pretty jealous you're seein them twice...but have a good time. If a flight to phoenix wasnt so expensive id buy ur tickets off ya haha.
As for other bands, I just got into the Foo Fighters (i remember u really like them), this british band Muse (go and buy the album Absolution NOW), Coldplay, The Tea Party, The Arcade Fire, Interpol, Keane, The Killers, Matthew Good, Nirvana, Oasis, Pearl Jam, The Postal Service, REM, Radiohead, Snow Patrol, The Hip....and last but not least, this new Canadian band Pilate....The next time you're in Canada buy their album Caught By The Window. Its the best $12 you'll ever spend. They're gonna eclipse U2 as my favorite band with their next album. These guys are amazing....check them out at Pilate . com They sound alot like early U2, coldplay, travis....pretty mellow alternative rock. But it's amazing stuff. I saw em a bunch of times this past year when they played in Buffalo and they blew me away every time. Really, really good stuff.
