Seriously, does anyone miss grunge?

Fuck no. And I have friends that are perpetually stuck in the 90s. They put that shit on at parties and wonder why I get so annoyed

 

[IWasBored]

I was still listening to a lot of U2 in 2003, as I was not yet sick of them. That didn't happen til 2005ish.

I didn't get HTDAAB until Christmas Day 04.

2005 I probably spent the entire year in my bedroom listening to U2 and making threads in EYKIW as all my friends were out doing normal things like socialising.

I did a midnight release for Atomic Bomb...back when stores used to do that for music.

I believe UiU and I realized we were both at the same store for that. Sorta funny he, I, and Reggo have never met each other.

Shit, I forgot my actual favorite from 2003:

I made a donation earlier this evening. Hope your peeps are ok.

Thanks for donating. My family peeps are all okay.

How do those short number donation texts work? Does the donation come from your phone bill? They're always blocked on my work phones, so I've never been able to place one to see what happens. Luckily donations on Red Cross' site is pretty quick with Paypall.

Yeah, the donation is added to your phone bill. This is the first time I've ever used one. Glad to know the website is another option for people.

In 2005, dkm played the umass spring concert, and I went for free as I was still a student. And saw Nas and Fabulous as well, still making it the strangest show I've ever been to. It's probably why I hate Nas so much, and I'm still not sure I understand what fabulous is. One guy? Six guys? Either way, "when I say real, you say tall. Real! Tall!" remains the dumbest thing I've ever heard anyone try to get the crowd to sing along to.

 

[u2popmofo]

Laz, they opened for Radiohead on the HTTT tour. I remember singing along to Do Not Feed the Oyster, and some guy in front of me turned around and gave me a high five for being the only other person he could see who knew their music.

I donated off of their home page.

Good, glad to hear it...and no thanks needed.

 

[IWasBored]

Al Barr gave me a high five for knowing the words to which side are you on at that show I just mentioned. I'm sure I'd be truly embarrassed by my posts on here, were I to dig them up, from when I got back to my dorm.

Good to hear.

Tell me your thoughts on Into Darkness, immediately, you jackass.

 

[U2inUtah]

Have to say, this is probably my favourite Jigga record.

ALLOW ME TO REINTRODUCE MYSELF MY NAME IS HOV!

I drove from Utah to Miami to Detroit to Chicago and back to Utah in Spring of 2004 and I listened to the shit out of The Black Album and College Dropout on that trip. Good memories.

I did a midnight release for Atomic Bomb...back when stores used to do that for music.

I believe UiU and I realized we were both at the same store for that. Sorta funny he, I, and Reggo have never met each other.

If it was Media Play/FYE in Orem, then we were. I also did it for Pop and Best of 1980-1990. Where is Reggo? She hasn't posted here for awhile has she?
Also, crazy its been two years since our 360 show. Time flies.

As I recall, myself, Danny (bono_man_2002) and Ali (Alisaura) were in the pit on 360 when they played Mercy in Melbourne, and we all went fucking nuts as everyone around us stood motionless and bemused.

 

[IWasBored]

I saw Reggo post in some other thread recently, so she's not dead.

 

[IWasBored]

Yikes, at this rate we'll kill off this thread tonight and then some.

Yup, Media Play.

I was in Japan for Pop and the Best Of's release, so I didn't hear either of those until quite a bit after they were released. I have the Japanese versions of both though.

That's a weird combination.


Also, DEAR LORD:

This is why I never read anymore at work. Too easy to just sit on here and listen to music.

But enough dropkick murphys for now. Time for....

Did you guys watch that really lengthy Brian Eno interview that was posted on Pitchfork a few days ago?

Really, really great stuff. One of my very favorite people on Earth to listen to talk. I feel myself growing more intelligent with every word.

Anyway, the interviewer asked him who he thinks is doing "interesting" work these days, and the artists he respects right now. The first name he mentioned was Prince.

It also took him about 35 minutes to drop Bono's name for the first time. And it was actually when the interviewer put on a Coldplay song from Mylo Xyloto for Eno to discuss. He mentioned that both Chris Martin and Bono are very good at writing ballads, but talked about how Chris isn't afraid to put the ballads on the albums whereas Bono will write a beautiful ballad and toss it to the side saying "Enough of this fucking midtempo crap."

2006 was the year I listened Beck 90% of the time so The Information holds pretty good memories for me.

I didn't miss much, apparently.

 

[cobl04]

Killer new tune from Joe Goddard. Another EP due out this year. Hope it's as good as Gabriel, which you may have seen me quoting lately.

Joe Goddard Feat. Mara Carlyle - She Burns by Greco-Roman on SoundCloud - Hear the world’s sounds

I think the last midnight album release I did was for The Cure in 2004, back when there was still a Tower Records to hold midnight album releases.

I downloaded Bomb from iTunes as part of The Complete U2. I didn't get the CD until a couple of days later. In fact, I think Joyful and I decided we may have both bought it from the same Walmart in Gulfport, Mississippi, strangely enough.

Bravo, Bono.

Bravo, Bono.

It's funny, the song that the interviewer showed Eno was "Up With The Birds". It's the closing track on Mylo Xyloto.

She played it, and you could tell that Eno had completely forgotten about it and it took him a minute to even remember what the hell it was.

He produced the damn thing. I don't know, I just think it's kinda funny that he was involved in the day to day work on the construction of the album and probably never even listened to it all the way through. I got the impression that he maybe had never even heard the finished/mastered version of the song.
