Recommendations...

[hippy]

Doods, I joost had a really great experience...

Elevation Boston on my laptop...if it is at all possible for you to watch the concert on a comp or a personal dvd player...go for it! There's absolutely nothing to compare with being about a foot from Bono, Edge, Adam, and Larry

ALSO...I would highly recommend driving on the highway with the windows rolled down and Achtung Baby blasting...

Nothing like a little U2 to make me feel a lot better

Anyone else have recommendations of ways to fully enjoy U2?

 

[Stories for Boys]

i have certain songs, where they take over me when i hear 'em. i turn up the music real loud, close my eyes (well, not if i'm driving), and feel it...i love U2!

Do that all the time. My crappy car only has a tape player so I put AB on tape for the car. I actually wore one tape out and had to make another one.

I love listening to Pop really loud in my car.... it makes me want to drive faster (especially Mofo).

I also love listening to AB on a discman with the sounds going straight into your ears... you can hear the strings on WGRYWH... sigh... it's so nice. Pop Musik also highly recommended on a walkman, but not if you have heart trouble

AB=The ultimate driving album!

JT across the Mojave has healing powers that rival Lourdes. In God's Country in the Virgin River Gorge, especially heading west, is a wonderful thing, as well.

Discotheque and an open highway will put you in another place, most likely the pokey if you don't keep track of who is behind you.

Pop Muzik in the walkman at the gym. If that doesn't get your heartrate up, you're not human!!!

Heartland as you drive across the Midwest...

Never Let Me Go (off the MDH soundtrack) as you slowdance in candlelight with a gorgeous sexy man...oh wait, that's never happened to me.

 

[EPandAmerica]

POP full blast in the car is the ONLY way I can pump myself up for a day of boring desk work!

Except DYFL gets me in the mood for something that has nothing to do with desk work.

*****MONA'S TIPS OF THE DAY******

I like tip #3....I thought about doing this, and had forgotten.
Thanks for the reminder....
Besides Clayton, Mullen, Evans, Hewson(I don't think I'll find any of these), what other U2 "words" could be street signs???

 

[daisybean]

• If You Wear That Velvet Dress, best slow song to dance to
• Rattle and Hum also a good Road CD
• Best of: the best cd to fall asleep to

• Try listening to bootlegs on really good headphones, volume as loud you can stand it, with lots of bass
• Listening to albums in the car is great, but remember to listen to them on headphones sometimes, in otherwise quiet circumstances. I always find so many little things I miss listening in a noisy car
• Listen to Achtung Baby in Berlin. The songs fit it really well
• I'll second JT and R&H in the Southwest. Wow. Bonus points for listening to the "see the canyon broken by cloud" line from Beautiful Day while on a plane over Grand Canyon (yes, I'm a big dork)
• Listen to "Love is Blindness" turned way up, in the dark

• Listen to "Love is Blindness" turned way up, in the dark

AMEN SISTAH!!! that's one of those songs for me. i can feel it in my heart, and my head, and my whole body. i love it!

stoopid friend who refused to take pictures of the intersection of U and 2 streets... *mumble* *mumble*


Oh, and bootlegs + headphones + real loud = Woo!

LOL Mona! When I read the first post I was like...Get a friend named Mona, but not really, and invent this BDJPMS of people who can also help entertain you, but mostly she has to like Bono noises as much as you do...

1. Make U2 T-shirts...it's amazing how fun this can be...
2. Search high and low in EVERY store for anything REMOTELY related to U2...kinda like 6 degrees of U2...
3. I GOT A FEVER! AND THE ONLY PRESCRIPTION IS MORE COWBELL! *ahem* Where was I? Oh yeah...
4. Jesus thinks Zooropa is an underated album...
5. While we are on the topic of Zooropa..."How can beauty be so kiiiind to and ordinary guy..HEY-EE-AY-YAY
6. Related to that last point...*PETE YORN INTERUPTS* PETE: Fishy are these really points? FISHY: Hush you...anyway...related to that last...thing...It is soooo fun to listen to U2 with a friend who knows all of Bono's noises...and somehow the noises become more important than the music...
7. U2 at high volumes is ALWAYS best...Mona has officially blown every speaker I own...inside the house and out...but somehow...it was worth it...
8. Moulin Rouge...

AB at night on a fast interstate- Awesome!

Beautiful Day on a fast rural road on, well, a beatiful day!

UF on a long, trippy road with no stops for miles.

Best fast driving songs: SBS, NYD, Streets, Ultraviolet!

In God's Country and Red Hill Mining Town- best scenic country drive

Heartland in the heartland of course!

What everyone said, plus listening to God Part II really loud in the car so you can really feel those drums!

 

[mc]

whenever i wake up and know that its going to be a horrible day (eg the first day of exams) i put beautiful day on really loud.
MLK is a good going to sleep song.

 

[GypsyHeartgirl]

Martha, I drove through the desert playing JT too! It's a great experience!

 

[bono-vox]

I love being home alone w/the stereo blaring AB, Zooropa and Pop. I just got a copy of the AB B-sides, I'm waiting for a chance to listen to Salome or Lady with the Spinning Head really loud! BTW, these B-sides are great...
