Shuttlecock IV: The Doubles

It's Bob Deal you really have to worry about.

Someone please laugh at my Motley Crew joke so I can feel good about myself and/or not have an emotional breakdown.

We are laughing at you, not with you.

 

[IWasBored]

we're not laughing at you, we're laughing near you.

You have hurt me with words!!

Back when I saw ZooTV in 1992, I spent all my merch money on 2 shirts, the white one with the blurry, colored silhouettes of the band, and the baseball jersey with "Achtung Baby" across the front. While I was skinny at the time, I bought XL because that was the style. Now I won't wear them because they're too big.

Anyway, some years back I found a ZooTV program at Amoeba for like $10-$15, though it was from the first, indoor U.S. leg and not a legit souvenir of my actual show (Chicago, September 16th at the World Music Theatre).

Today, on a whim I went into a local thrift store and found a good condition Outside Broadcast program, for the WTF price of $1.50. These are going on eBay for like $25 or more.

So I'm pretty happy.

Ha, those old XL shirts. I can't bear to get rid of the few I still have - two mid-80s era REM shirts, and a PopMart shirt. I use them as gymwear and occasionally sleep shirts.

I think I speak for most people when I say that nothing fits me.

 

[corianderstem]

I am so fucking happy I don't live in Buffalo, guys.

I saw this on Twitter - not sure if it's real or not, but it's fucking nuts if it is. This snowstorm stuff seems so alien to me.

edit, either it's not real, or it's old http://weknowmemes.com/2014/01/17-p...old-the-deep-freeze-polar-vortex-actually-is/

 

[corianderstem]

Shit, sorry. Thought I was in the random thread.

I'VE RUINED EVERYTHING.

That was actually taken at my place, and it's coke, not snow. Or rather, not that kind of snow.

 

[IWasBored]

Dude, get some head n shoulders shampoo or something. That's like the dried scalps of 10000 people.

 

[Kieran McConville]

BOOM!

I'm reminded of a Malcolm Tucker quote about dead skin.

That's one hell of a gateway!


I know. I'll see myself out.

Well, even if recovery takes three months like that article said, that would take us to January. leaving U2 plenty to time to be set for June.

 

[lazarus]

Or February, if you want to use the correct math.

And since they said at least three months, it could easily be March.

 

[joyfulgirl]

I think it also depends on what they mean by "recovery." Does that mean well enough to move around okay, or does that mean performance-level freedom from pain.

 

[Kieran McConville]

It's moot to me personally, but I'd be astounded if any tour takes place within the next year. Unless they go the Lou Reed Zootv route and have Bono croon a few bars from his living room while the other three play live.

 

[YBORCITY]

Or February, if you want to use the correct math.

And since they said at least three months, it could easily be March.

 

[YBORCITY]

Also is it that I've already over indulged on Ketel that the article said "U2 kicked off U2360 tour at Madison Square Garden".? There might be an inaccuracy in that article.

Party at kieran's

 

[lazarus]

Kieran McCokeville?

 

[Kieran McConville]

Don't call me that! I'll fucking kill you!

Sorry, that was the coke talking.

 

[BoMac]

Listening to the double album bonus disc for the first time. Other than Crystal Ballroom and acoustic Every Breaking Wave, a whole lot of meh.

 

[LemonMelon]

I hate acoustic EBW. I actually heard it on the radio first, it sounded like an Adele song with terrible vocals. Really not a fan of that arrangement at all.

Live version all the way.

 

[IWasBored]

I don't know what version of the song I heard on the radio because I've only heard the album version once, but it was pretty weak.

 

[djerdap]

That chorus murders the song. So much cheese.

 

[Kieran McConville]

Plenty of cheese to go around on the first half of that album. It's kind of shocking really.

 

[djerdap]

If there was one surprising aspect I noticed with the reactions here, it was downplaying it - how it's not as bad as the middle three on Horizon.

To me, it's at least twice as bad.
