On first listen now - kept stumbling into the lousy rip (the 63MB copy where it sound like someone was recording off a mic pointed at their computer speakers) all day and told myself I wouldn't listen through till I found a good one.. then I found the good one with the bonus tracks. First...

Got the RSD single - love The Blackout in general - spending $13 US on basically one song felt a little.. uhh.. unique.. but I've done worse. Spent probably $20ish back in the late 90s for the Batman Forever soundtrack solely for HMTMKMKM. The remix feels Pop-era to me - there's some synth...

Figured it out - it was a mashup of the original recording of Driving... and the USA/Kevorkian mix of New Year's Day. Still not sure where the Loft got it from. Mods you can delete this thread.

Tried scouring youtube and googling for this but came up with no answers - When I was driving home from work today I had The Loft (Sirius station) on and to my surprise they were playing Bono's rendition of Driving to Midnight Mass in Dublin Christmas Eve, but unlike the versions on youtube...

That was so awesome! Kudos U2 and EoDM for working this out. After watching the interview on Vice, I didn't know if Jesse and co would have the mental strength to get back on stage this quick, never mind in Paris. Fun watching Jesse rock a stage that big - especially using the ramp and...

Co-worker of mine in an adjacent cube usually has a radio on tuned to a station that plays basically Top 40 and mixes in classics from about the mid-80s forward (i.e. A-Ha, Journey, Wham). SfS came on today and I was pleasantly surprised.

Out here in Phoenix, Zia Records was running a fantastic Labor Day weekend sale - buy 3 used get the 4th free - any mix of CDs, vinyl, books and/or DVDs.. went in with my wife on a batch at one store on Saturday and then did another haul today at a different location:) Used the sale to support...

Not sure how experiences in other sections were but the crowd around my row were really into the show - probably more so than previous tours I've seen shows on - were singing and dancing along to everything. Was in a higher up row in 123 which allowed for a great side view of the main stage...

Going to tomorrow's Phoenix show - hoping for a special Joshua Tree snippet (or even full song) outside of the staples, given that their travels in the desert southwest inspired that album in part.

Short answer, not likely overly congested due to the D-Backs games - their attendance is generally pretty weak. I did have a co-worker of mine tell me that getting in and out of the downtown area when there is a big arena show going on is pretty hectic - not the best traffic flows/only a couple...

Album that got me started on U2 - Rattle and Hum, my dad had a cassette copy that he played in the car a lot - and I came to like it a lot. Album that turned them into my favorite band - Pop - I remember buying it at Borders the day it came out or thereabouts, and then listened to it all the...

First post I guess - going solo - wife is fan, but not a fan enough to go to an arena show. Will be 6th time I've seen them live - one on Elevation and 360, and three on Vertigo. Arena was recently renamed the Talking Stick Resort Arena (same group owns a casino/resort of the same name here).

Seen them five times: Elevation - PJ Harvey (had a friend at the time who was a big PJ Harvey fan - when I told her PJH opened, my friend was very jealous.. but I thought the performance was pretty awful) Three times on Vertigo - First was Kings of Leon (well before they had any popularity and...

The album leaked yesterday. It's very good. I thought without Greg there wouldn't be as much guitar- maybe more keys, but there's a lot of guitar, jammy parts, lots of everything I like about Mutemath

I was at Boston 1 on 360. When I found out that SP was opening I was ecstatic- I had become a fan of theirs when Run got some airplay in the US. They didn't disappoint- Gary had his usual banter going and good spirits- the audience finishing Shut Your Eyes was an example of the good that can...
