PowerSurge

I don't want to get my hopes up.
its been a tough week for high hopes.

folks, don't expect anything from this radio station by the end of the week
i heard that shit, it's just a commercial for some future 2009 u2 promotion, nothing specific
it may be premiered on BBC radio as usual, but i don't see it coming before the end of the holidays...people are too drunk for that on NY's week
So what are the chances U2 debuts their new single with a live version just after the stroke of midnight on one of the New Years Eve shows? Afterall 2009 is their year and what better time to make a splash.
Thoughts?
Discotheque instead of GOYB
yep. i said it yesterday.
and it would be dumb of U2 to have their world premiere on a holiday week, where radio, tv stations and newspapers suffer some of their worst ratings.
ya know... get on your boots is only two letters longer than discotheque.
So we've had the Spanish and the French come up with a hoax for the new single. Hopefully tomorrow the Germans will come up with something.
If any DJs had the single, it would have leaked by now BD leaked, Eletrical Storm, Vertigo. They were all played well before they were supposed to.
U2 mgmt will probably release the single to radio the day it's supposed to be played.
The one radio station that seems to be on top of the new U2 songs is the one in LA (KROQ? maybe). They played Vertigo first before anyone else. In fact, they even played it without mentioning anything. I remember a person on Interference saying they were in the shower and heard what sounded like U2 song. Big guitar and some spanish counting.
I expect something similar this time. It'll be played before we even know what's going on.

My money's on Jo Whiley at BBC1 getting it first...

Does this topic still serve a purpose since you know, it's past New Years Eve? ...

I thought that previously myself, but it turns out she's on maternity leave 'til February, and I really hope we won't be waiting that long for some airplay! She still might get an exclusive pre-album release live session with them, like she did for ATYCLB (and maybe HTDAAB as well - I was overseas and missed out if she did).
Don't know who else would be in the running from the Radio One DJ's...maybe Chris Evans on Radio 2? Very popular show, and he used to get U2 on TFI Friday, every week if you consider the Massive Heads!
