Bono also has been brooding for several years on the challenge of rejuvenating his chosen art form, the album, and locates much of the problem in the loss of the marriage of "listening and looking" that the vinyl LP once provided. He talked with tech companies, including BlackBerry, and worked with U2's photographer (and now feature film director) Anton Corbijn to produce "Linear," a dialogue-free, black-and-white road movie whose soundtrack was an alternative, prerelease version of No Line on the Horizon.

The secret, he believes, is to put display technology at the service of the musical experience. "It's album artwork. Not videos, because videos demand your attention. You need to think it's supposed to be on in the background when you listen to the music-a much more ambient experience. People could watch while listening-the way we used to when you'd open up, say, the Clash's Sandinista! and get lost in the lyrics. 'Where are they? Where's Nicaragua?'

"This format is coming-the relaunching of album artwork. A plasma screen, poof! Your phone, boom! While you're listening. Because music used to be an immersive medium, not just sonically, it was always the visuals, too. Elvis is an audiovisual phenomenon. The Beatles were audiovisual. It's harder and harder to get people to pay for an MP3 file, but it will be easier when you're getting something much more interactive."

Veddy, veddy nice tat!

what a cool idea to have a line notes frm a fav song!

[ClaytonsKitten]

Thanks Dazz. I've had the idea for awhile now, but never had both the time to get it done and the money to pay for it all at once. (Something about raising kids leaves you broke, I tell ya! ) Now that I've done it, I can't wait to show it off when I see the guys on tour!

[dazzledbylight]

what fun!
glad time and $ did a good merge for ya this time

[dazzledbylight]

what's your snow situation like?

[ClaytonsKitten]

We have quite a bit, but luckily it hasn't snowed since Tuesday. It warmed up the last couple days (like in the high 40s) but it's gonna go back into the 20s over the weekend and into next week.

[dazzledbylight]

aaawwwww


last snow was ? tues but got later rained out,
But we got ples all aroind esp anything that isn't midtown/lower Mahattan busness/commercial areas, same dow town Brooklyn i'd guess (lived there, too), and prob parts of the Bronx

but we ( in this part of bronx) finally getting somewhat rained away (yesterday) yay! At last!

we had near or above 50 past 2 days
weekend back into 40's, then 35 ish Mon

but damn better than all that 15 - 25F
they said we might some much colder....HOPEFULLY not for long!

[ClaytonsKitten]

Yeah Lil'CK was off school AGAIN on Tues bc of all the snow (6th snow day already this year....it's insane! They've also had a bunch of delayed starts bc of cold/ice...)

I'm hoping that it gets a little nicer in March...this winter has been absolutely CRAZY.

Now to try and stay up for Timberlake's full hour of Fallon.

[dazzledbylight]

yeah really!

watching Olympic stuff, news and soon Fallon

[ClaytonsKitten]

Yeah local news here. Then more Olympic stuff and YAY Fallon.

Although I'm not nearly as excited as I was Monday.
But Justin/Jimmy is always funny and so worth staying up for.
