In fact, make that "when I go away from the U2 part of the Internet". I must admit I am surprised I haven't seen a single mention of this on Facebook except for posts by hardcore U2 fans. I really thought I'd see a couple of my musician friends bitching about a random U2 album showing up, or one of my tech-nerd friends commenting on the distribution. Nope. Nothing.

I've had a lot of mates bitching. I almost agree with them, such has been my indifference to the band over the last couple of years.

You probably won't like it that much (ie. most people unimpressed with 2000s output haven't been particularly won over by it). Why embarrassed?

Although the attention the other albums have got as a result of the stunt is a pretty good thing so ...

She is. (I have hundreds of these sorts of comics saved in places, but I hadn't seen that one - the last panel is perfect.)
It's weird - I'm mentally feeling pretty okay, and it's manifesting physically - getting pins and needles, tight (but not painful) chest, inability to focus, all that fun stuff.
How're you doing?

Just saw I got an email a week ago from some random band asking for a review on the An Ocean of Noise blog, god I haven't written properly about music in years but get so tempted to sometimes

I tried to get into contact with you a few times over the last year, as I was thinking of moving the blog to a full on site that I had ready to go.
I like writing reviews, I just don't know where to put them, that anyone would bother to read. I've kinda given up on the whole thing, though.

Did you actually email me? If so I really don't remember getting any
Yeah they're fun to write, just kind of hard to get an audience.
I also just bet and lost $15 worth of Dota 2 items on a match, I really need to learn that I'm cursed and have anti-luck
Oh and Ashley just putting this out there

I didn't email you, because I am stupid, so, that was on me.

I've honestly been tempted to write so many times, like last year I was lying in a tent at a festival listening to Stealing Sheep play and then just before their "big" song get taken off stage and thought that'd be something to write about!
One of the posts I did has 18k views, wow if only everything I wrote had that

Yeah, I hear that.
I just really enjoyed doing my 100 One-Hit Wonders listening, and I miss having an outlet to share that.
And of course, there's all of the lists I make during the year, as well. I wish I had somewhere to share those. I wish my writing was better so I could submit to someone, maybe, even, but I don't feel like it is.

But your typo in RMT made me chuckle when I woke up this morning.

Well if you're up for trying the whole blog thing again let me know, never know if we actually post might be able to get readers one day

Yeah, sure thing. I actually own the domain anoceanofnoise.com (I just host random crap I'm working on there, I think there's a karate site there right now). If you want me to set it up all nicelike, just say the word. Or, we can use the old one still, or we can start a new one with a new name. Whatevs.

I actually looked up AnOceanofNoise.com earlier today and saw the Karate site and thought it seemed very strange
I'm up for anything, although I think having a proper URL would definitely be a good start, we could always change the name if we wanted at some stage down the line

Listening to that album that a band called Vinyl Floor posted in our comments section last week, the ending of song three is pretty sweet. Then again I love anything with strings in it

Hey, that's nice when you find something worthwhile, even if it's from band spam.

My first review, felt appropriate as a first review, I badly need to relearn how to properly write about music though

How the hell did I miss 25 pages? Sorry guys, not reading all that... Did I miss anything interesting?

And yes, I posted that before remembering that someone infected the world's iPods with a free album last week.

So did you read then? Do I need to throw out my bulleted list of summation?

I'm going to take this to mean the album has not made a significant dent on your life.

Last night's trivia was epic. Literally the entire pub ended up hating me. I got pushed by some fuckwit who stole my penguin beanie. And now I have a gigantic hangover.
