Sometimes single in Canada?

[sniggirb]

Hey have any Canadians been able to find this single anywhere? I've had zero luck.

 

[Yahweh]

I went last week and wasnt able to find it myself...I read it was coming out last week but apparently not.

 

[Roland of Gilead]

I can't find it. umusic.ca is screwed up.

 

[GibsonGirl]

I haven't seen it anywhere. That's mainly because I live in a shitty old town in Newfoundland and have to drive two hours before I can reach an HMV.

Stupid Wal-Mart and their lack of U2 singles.

 

[Roland of Gilead]

I just checked umusic.ca again. They cleaned up their new releases page and have listed Sometimes... for a March 22nd release. Another week I guess.

 

[Yahweh]

I hope they are right this time.

 

[Axver]

Geez, would it kill the band to do some promotion or official announcements for this?

 

[Yahweh]

Sometimes video is being debuted tomorrow on Much On Demand at 5 ET.

 

[sniggirb]

Geez, would it kill the band to do some promotion or official announcements for this?

I agree. U2.com had all this stuff out about the Sometimes single in Europe and then almost fine print; North America look for ABOY, no mention of b-sides, formats or anything. It is really anoying.

 

[Roland of Gilead]

We should have our own U2.ca.

They're GOLD here!

 

[sniggirb]

I agree with you there, lets start one up!

 

[angel_28]

I saw the single for Sometimes at HMV 2 weeks ago bad news is it has the same song as the ABOY single Fast Cars...and thats it.

 

[sniggirb]

How much did it cost? Hopefully March 22 brings something good.

 

[angel_28]

i believe it was $4.99..or $3.99 something like that... yeah i hope the 22nd brings something better

 

[Yahweh]

That was an import though...I am waiting for the Canadian single...should be out this week.

 

[phanan]

Yes, the Canadian version comes out 3/22, and it will have the other B-sides that are on the single in the rest of the world (i.e. Ave Maria and Vertigo remixes).

 

[Roland of Gilead]

Okay, as of today (21st) umusic.ca has now listed Sometimes (Cdn. Edition) for a April 5th release.

 

[sniggirb]

This is over a month they have dragged it out!! Whassup with that? Is it really that hard to but out a single? By the time it comes out the song will be dead on the radio.

 

[angel_28]

Lol April 5th?...why does this not surprise me.
I'll check HMV tommorrow anyways just in case a miracle happens ...lol

 

[Yahweh]

Did anybody check the stores this week is it out yet?

 

[anitram]

I was in HMV briefly the other day, didn't see it there.

 

[angel_28]

I didn't see it either ....I hope one day one of those release dates are actually correct

 

[sniggirb]

If anybody finds the single tomorrow do tell. As of Monday afternoon umusic.ca still says its out tomorrow.

 

[Roland of Gilead]

I'm taking the trip today. We'll see if its out.

 

[Danny Boy]

The Future Shop website says they have it in stock.

Nothing new on this, I assume?

 

[senrab]

I live in a shitty old town in Newfoundland

 

[Roland of Gilead]

Here it is in my hands at last!!!

It is just one cd single.

1. Sometimes You Can't... -radio edit 96 bpm 4:51
2. Ave Maria - jacknife lee mix 3:35
3. Vertigo - Redanka Power mix 7:32

Can someome please explain the deal with the 96 beats per minute thing? As opposed to what exactly is the original version's bpm?

 

[maxpouliot]

got it too

 

[GibsonGirl]

It really is unfortunate.

 

[senrab]

It really is unfortunate.

I'm from the States and I've grown to love NFLD from listening to Great Big Sea (St. John's)...I would love to visit sometime. It looks so beautiful.

I understand your frustration in living in the middle of nowhere, though...I'm in the same situation.
