Haha, me too. Well, I guess it's because even though I thought the stuff I just listened to was okay, I know for a fact that if, say, this was their third album, I'd probably be on a Henry Rollins forum right now dissing them all the time. You read correctly, I don't actually do that.


YouTube - U2 - Two Hearts Beat As One (Live @ Red Rocks)

IIRC, it's not a very good version, either.

I bet you're on an Ian McCulloch forum ripping into U2 right now, though.


Bono is embarrassing in that THBAO! Though I do love it when he tells Edge to shut up for a second.

Are you into spoilers? They're not incredibly clear, plus they have the odd waves and talking over, but you can certainly distinguish them. So if you've got the need, go for it.

I've just decided I won't listen, I'll wait till the album comes out.

Did you enjoy the marathon PM that hit your inbox the other day ax?

 

[Axver]

I don't see them being worth but yea, if you're into that stuff..

it's always nice to hear the sea tho...

U2's next album will just be a bunch of beach clips.

Sorry I haven't got back to you yet - will once I'm healthier and my head feels like less of a thick pea soup!

 

[Galeongirl]

and they call it, BEACH CLIPS!

 

[major_panic]

I got a War T-shirt for $10 today. Not an official one, but hell, it was $10!

 

[major_panic]

Also, V has returned, hi everyone!

 

[cobl04]

Not a problem! I sent an email to Deakin as well, just waiting on a reply.

How are you feeling? Any better? You must have a shocking strain.

Just figured out I won't be going to Melb or La Trobe Uni, I need around 95s to get into those courses

 

[The Sad Punk]

U-Wen!!

 

[cobl04]

V has returned

They have a new lemon flavour

 

[Axver]

Hey U-Wen!

 

[major_panic]

They have a new lemon flavour

And a crappy marketing campaign to try and seem "cool" and "happening". When everyone'll just buy V anyway cause it seems to be the energy drink of choice.

 

[major_panic]

So, what's rolling, people?

 

[cobl04]

Very true. I guess they're just reacting to the new flavour of Mother that's been brought out, literally advertised as better tasting than the previous one.

Red Bull only has two different types! Sugarfree and normal!

I'm picking up. I've improved throughout today. Tomorrow, I have a lecture I really want to attend, so assuming I don't feel totally dire, I'll try to attend. Not entirely optimistic though.

I'd advise anybody against coming to Melbourne Uni for undergrad anyway. Not because it's a bad uni - it's fucking fantastic, that's why I'm there. Rather, it's because any new undergrad student would be stuck doing their degree under the "Melbourne Model" introduced this year, which is fucking shithouse. As I got in before this year, I've escaped the stupid Model.

Haha, no. I mean, for one thing I actually like some of Rollins' output, I couldn't care less for McCulloch! Although I have been considering checking out some of the Bunnymen's better stuff after reading good things of it, but I wonder how much of it is just fan drivel. In any case, McCulloch is far more hilarious, no matter what he's talking about.

That might be the best bit, actually. Although, love handles aside, it'll be good to see it all cleaned up.

 

[Axver]

U-Wen, you been watching the Olympics? Specifically the Opening Ceremony?

 

[The Sad Punk]

Red Bull only has two different types! Sugarfree and normal!

And the Thai one, which is .

Though don't talk about energy drinks... I feel sick right now because I had a little over my energy drink limit today.

Even our years aren't totally immune, lots of people I know are missing out cause their subjects have been slashed.

Good to hear, what's the lecture on? And out of curiosity, what exactly are you doing at Melbourne? Postgrad degree?

I'll have to ask about these and this 'melbourne model' another time, as my eyelids are drooping. Night!

Missed the first hour, which I'm told was the interesting hour.

 

[The Sad Punk]

Night, extravaDanza!

Ah, see, I'm not too sure if I'm familiar with any of Rollins' output, but I've listened to some Bunnymen albums. I find they're good on the first few listens but quickly become dull and simply don't last. I've never entirely bought into the "U2 were Bunnymen ripoffs" argument.

Yeah, I can't wait for good quality footage. It's been far too bloody long coming.

 

[major_panic]

To add to my awesome purchase list for today, I got Queen's A Night At The Opera and A Day At The Races for $10 each! It's been a good day to be a fan of music thus far.

 

[major_panic]

Oh Ax, by the way, how'd the remaster purchasing thing go?

Nah, I'm still in undergrad, but since I started early enough, I get to stay in the old degree structure. The lecture tomorrow's on New Zealand's Treaty of Waitangi and is set to be the only lecture on a Kiwi topic I'll ever have the chance to attend at uni, so I'm fucking determined to be there.

G'night!

I haven't heard that much of his music, not even much Black Flag work, but I've read a lot of his published writings. Generally pretty good.

Yeah, I call a lot of bullshit there. Plus, McCulloch's ego makes Bono's look like it belongs to a 13 year old pseudo-emo kid.

Yeah, if you like showGAYship.

 

[Axver]

Oh, it's really hurt me in terms of subject selection. In PolSci especially, where this year I've done a couple of subjects I really couldn't give a shit about but I wanted to complete the major.

Now I wish I'd just done a double major in History.

 

[major_panic]

Yeah, if you like showGAYship.

When said showGAYship equals U2's performance of Bad at Live Aid, hell yes.
