That's an awesome random reference.
She's a force. U2 should be very nervous about her rumoured new direction, also.

Her and Bono could have a talk or two about stylish eyewear.

In ACTUAL rumors (?), there were talks about an ABBA reunion for this year.
Music in general should be postponed.

How much of that was physical product vs downloads?
Because Adele was one of those artists who seemed to have multi-generational fans...you know, the college kids downloading to their iPods and Droids, and then the mom/grandma generation going out and buying the physical album.
(I say this as a mama who is young enough to do the downloading thing but my own mom wouldn't know how to download a song if she tried.
)Ugh... I really hate Coldplay and even more after reading this thread
Seconded.

Again, are we assuming that the music "they want to make" songs have no hooks or guitar in the first place then? They've never really strayed from writing songs like that in the first place, so why start now?

Copy & Pasted from the "Peeling off the dollar bills" thread:
Some guy over at u2start.com heard from a guy who knows Dallas Schoo that talked to him in LA this past weekend. Said that the album is coming out in August, with a bonus disc being available, and that they are planning 7 dates at the newly restored L.A. Forum (no date given). He also said U2 are doing something at the old LA Sports Arena in April, but that seems unusual. Just passing along yet another rumor. August seems pretty likely for the album release, honestly, given recent comments.

Something at the sports arena isn't that crazy if a tour was due to start in May... acts use the place to rehearse as nobody else really uses it (I think u2 may have used it as a rehearsal spot before)
But as there is no album yet, a tour starting in May, thus the need for an April rehearsal space, is incredibly unlikely.

Asia (often stylised as ASIA) is a British rock band. The band was formed in 1981 as a supergroup of four members from different progressive rock bands, namely John Wetton (former bassist/vocalist of such bands as King Crimson, Family, and UK), Steve Howe (guitarist of Yes), Geoff Downes (keyboardist of Yes and The Buggles) and drummer Carl Palmer (of Emerson, Lake & Palmer, The Crazy World of Arthur Brown, and Atomic Rooster).
The band has gone through many line-up changes throughout its history, but in 2006, the original line-up reunited. As a result of this, a second band called Asia Featuring John Payne exists as a continuation of John Payne's career as Asia's frontman from 1991 until Wetton's return in 2006. In 2013, Howe retired from the band in order to pursue other projects, and was replaced by guitarist Sam Coulson, completing the current lineup
Asia began in early 1981 with the apparent demise of Yes and Emerson, Lake & Palmer, two of the flagship bands of British progressive rock. After the break-up of King Crimson in 1974, various plans for a super group involving bassist John Wetton had been mooted, including the abortive British Bulldog project with Bill Bruford and Rick Wakeman in 1976. Wakeman left this project at the urging of management, according to Bill Bruford. In 1977 Bruford and Wetton were reunited in U.K., augmented by guitarist Allan Holdsworth and keyboardist/violinist Eddie Jobson. Their self-titled debut was released in 1978. But by January 1980, U.K. had folded after one lineup change and three recordings. A new supergroup project was then suggested involving Wetton, Wakeman, drummer Carl Palmer and (then little known) South African guitarist/singer Trevor Rabin, but Wakeman left this project too, shortly before they were due to sign to Geffen and before they had played together. Wetton's Caught in the Crossfire solo album (1980) did not fare very well in England.
In late December 1980, Wetton and former Yes guitarist Steve Howe were brought together by A&R man John Kalodner and Geffen Records to start writing material for a new album. They were eventually joined in early 1981 by drummer Carl Palmer, and finally by Howe's recent Yes cohort, keyboardist Geoff Downes. Two other players auditioned and considered during the band's formation were former The Move and ELO founder Roy Wood and the aforementioned guitarist/singer Trevor Rabin, who would go on to be part of a reformed Yes in 1983. Rabin, in a filmed 1984 interview included in the DVD 9012Live, said that his involvement with Asia never went anywhere because "there was no chemistry" among the participants.
The band's first recordings, under the auspices of Geffen record label head David Geffen and Kalodner, were considered disappointing by music critics and fans of traditional progressive rock, who found the music closer to radio-friendly Album-oriented rock. However, Asia clicked with fans of popular arena acts such as Journey, Boston and Styx. (Indeed, Kalodner had once introduced Wetton to Journey's short-lived frontman Robert Fleischman, with a view to Fleischman becoming Asia's lead-singer. As they worked on material together, Fleischman was impressed by Wetton's singing and felt the voice best suited to the new material was Wetton's own. He left Asia amicably.

So its cool, the storm missed the area... but it's 0 degrees out with wind chill minus 15.... it's really come down to this, the cabin fever has taken it's toll on every living thing in this house. Provisions running low (alcohol, mostly). I figured it would have been Missybor doing me in but now some clarity hits. Ybordog who is down to chewing on his own limbs looks at me as if Im tendrrloin. I will sleep with one eye open tonight.

This. I remember loving to look at the art on my parents' record collection when I was growing up.
Def Leppard and Journey were amazing as far as cover art went. I wish I could get my hands on those old albums....as far as I know, they're rotting in my mom's basement.
