    US Politics XXXVIII: "Patriots" vs Reality

    Not necessarily. Many young voters really see it as a choice between two evils. See also this article: Young voters aren't warming up to Biden. They know it means Trump could win again. And older voters may be a bit more conservative, many people who were very liberal in the '90s are seniors...

    Lu! I'm shocked, shocked I say. :o :D

    US Politics XXXVIII: "Patriots" vs Reality

    Well, I do believe the district voted for Trump in 2020 by +2 or +3 (and not +31). Still, she lost by 7 points in 2022 and won by 24 points this year, so that is quite a swing.

    You can state what you want of course when you're more or less the only U2 forum still standing (as quiet as it is here anyway).

    Can someone help me identify this U2 song? Has anyone else heard of this song?

    Well, Shazam doesn't recognize the song either. But the vocals are definitely not Bono, not even close. The style is also more rootsy than U2, with vocals sounding more like Julian Casablancas from The Strokes. So it's remarkable that someone thought this might be U2.

    Can someone help me identify this U2 song? Has anyone else heard of this song?

    Sure. I have a Hotmail account (with Popmartijn before the @).

    That doesn't ring familiar. At least, I don't know a U2 song that has any lyrics close to that.

    This needs a little getting used to. No more blue crack... :s (And it seems that smileys aren't working either. :| ) (Oh, it seems some are...)

    Shuttlecock XXV: Cool Hats Club

    Same here. I only use Interference when I'm on a laptop. So with an Ad-Block installed there are no annoying ads. Never used the app. I don't like it when I need to use a separate app for every little thing on my phone.

    US Politics XXXVIII: "Patriots" vs Reality

    Yeah, we're waking up with a huge hangover here. That was not a good result. With every election I hope he suffers a big loss, but this time too many were protesting. And falling for his xenophobic rhetoric. Unfortunately. :(

    PRINCE IS GOD: The Official Thread

    Just announced, there will be a Diamonds And Pearls boxset. https://superdeluxeedition.com/news/prince-diamonds-and-pearls-reissue-confirmed-full-details/ Maybe not the most interesting album, but the contents do look nice. Next to the original album there's also 1 CD of single edits, B-sides...

    US Politics XXXVII: hiiiii Kevin, I’m your biggest fan!

    Well, they're also trying it in Tennessee, in a way. https://eu.tennessean.com/story/news/politics/2023/04/05/tennessee-house-lawmaker-expulsion-vote-future-of-gop/70081721007/

    Shuttlecock XXV: Cool Hats Club

    I'm interested, but not overly enthusiastic. I see it as a side curio. Hope the rumours are true that a new album (with new songs) is coming at the end of the year. That Songs Of Surrender is not a dead end into irreverence for them (like the Springsteen 'soul' karaoke album).

    Springsteen VIII - 2014, tour, album, etc.

    1528948940187373569 A European tour. I am happy. :) (But yeah, it's gonna be a long wait)

    US Politics XXXIV: Biden Against the Manchine (Live at the Sinema)

    The more accurate quote is: Problem solving will be easier when the Democratic party has the House, Senate, and White House. Republicans show time and time again that they can't do shit except pass tax scams that favour the rich and find further ways to destroy the democracy that is the USA.

    US Politics XXXIV: Biden Against the Manchine (Live at the Sinema)

    Pretty sure they vote to confirm. They are now in the spotlights for their foot-dragging on the Build Back Better Act and the filibuster changes, but usually they vote with the other Democrat proposals.

    Random Music Talk CXXX: The AFL Finally Gets Revenge on Meat Loaf

    The part just before your quote is one of my favourite stories about the recording of that song. Being so fed up about the complaining about the song needing a motorcycle he just turned some amps to 11 and created the sound on his guitar.

    US Politics XXXIV: Biden Against the Manchine (Live at the Sinema)

    Isn't that the goal of all Republicans? They don't have any ideas of their own. They just want America to fail.

    Achtung Baby 30th Anniversary Releases & Promo

    It's one of my favourite remixes of that song, because it is such a weird mix. I never cared for the original version of the song, but the Howie B, Hairy B Mix at least made something interesting of it. (I believe the David Holmes Remix is another version that I do like)

    Random Music Talk CXXIX: Gump attends a concert

    Where I noticed this was for Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds. Two more recent albums made the list (Push The Sky Away and Skeleton Key) but classics like The Boatman's Call and Abattoir Blues/The Lyre Of Orpheus are nowhere to be found.

    RSD Black Friday 2020 - Have we hit a new low?

    U2 are again participating in the RSD Black Friday event. The release is a 12" of Gloria with, apart from the studio version, three exclusive live versions. These live versions (never officially released on a physical format before) are from Dublin 1989 (or rather, the January 1st 1990 concert)...

    New subscribers gift for 2021

    They're probably already planning for a 10-year anniversary deluxe edition. Which no one will receive.
