Random Music Talk LXXXVII: Which one of you called my church?

[PhilsFan]

Hahahaha. U2 aren't releasing an album this year and it sounds like Bono isn't even confident in early 2014. That's fucking rich.

I genuinely am starting to not give a shit about their next album.

Haha was pretty much my reaction as well. They really have become a joke.

 

[nielsgov]

They really have become a joke.

Lol. Comments like this are a joke.

 

[mikal]

Lol. Comments like this are a joke.

I wasn't joking.

 

[nielsgov]

I know. I just think it's a stupid comment. In what way have they become a joke? What other bands are releasing albums 30 years into their careers? Especially bands with members as rich as Bono, Edge, Larry and Adam?

They're a band that vacations more than they work on music and I think they're a joke compared to my other favorite musicians. That's all I really mean by that. Wow dude.

 

[nielsgov]

I just think people are overreacting to a simple radio interview in which Bono is hardly going to give away everything. It's clear Bono's main focus isn't U2 anymore which is too bad but understandable. Calling them a joke at this point is just a weird statement to me. Not trying to attack you in any way.

Ah. I've actually been calling thema joke for a few years now.

And agreed that people are overreacting. The signs of a delay have been out there for a while now.

 

[iron yuppie]

This length of time between albums wouldn't be so laughable if they would just stop bloviating about relevance.

This.


Even with the $20 word.

But I thought all of the kids loved "Get on Your Boots?"

I hope everyone in U S and A is having an enjoyable holiday. I also hope you all buy the new Okkervil River album tomorrow.

I got mine on Saturday.

 

[Danny Boy]

I did not get the CD with the bonus tracks, but they are included in the digital download. I'm at least going to email them a friendly reminder tomorrow.

 

[u2popmofo]

I emailed them on Friday, and they messaged me back quickly saying it was a mix up and they'd send me the disc that day. Glad to hear they're in the download too though.

 

[bono_212]

Holiday...what holiday? Oh you mean this SUPER LEGIT BANK HOLIDAY THERE IS NO MAIL GOVERNMENT IS SHUT DOWN TOTALLY A HOLIDAY DAY THAT MY UNIVERSITY CHOOSES TO IGNORE EVERY YEAR day?

 

[Danny Boy]

Alright, I just shot them an email. Hopefully I get a response tomorrow.

I said all along we wouldn't get one this year.

I really haven't cared in a long time.

 

[PhilsFan]

Danger Mouse had me intrigued at least. But another delay? That says to me that they're back to being self-conscious about radio plays and shit.

 

[iron yuppie]

Well LM, it looks like you ran that ultimate thread survivor a year too early. These last two new album threads would have been serious contenders. I mean, who would have guessed that Lady Gaga is an illuminati initiate?

 

[PhilsFan]

I think I'm going to call Gaga's church to get to the bottom of this.

 

[LemonMelon]

I think I'm going to call Gaga's church to get to the bottom of this.

Dr. Dre has the number.

 

[No spoken words]

How do I word this best......

I don't waste much time thinking about the next U2 album.....nor do I care when it comes out.....it'll be released when it gets released.....but when things are official, release date, tour dates, etc......my interest will perk up big time, even if my expectations will be fairly modest, if not low.

 

[LemonMelon]

People on this board care far too much. One of these days, Bono is going to spout some bullshit about "maybe being lost in Edge's musical fire, we'll see" and one of those EYKIW regulars is going to send them on a trip to Belize.

My attitude mirrors NSW's.

Pretty much sums it up.

 

[Jive Turkey]

I hope everyone in U S and A is having an enjoyable holiday.

We have one too, jerkface

 

[martha]

That new album thread will keep RMT in thread titles for months.

 

[cobl04]

Not if I have anything to say about it. It's been too long since I made a thread.

 

[u2popmofo]

We have one too, jerkface

Maple Syrup Day?
