LP13 Discussion - Rock Bottom: Still No F#@&*ng News!

[Headache in a Suitcase]

If official universal records twitter accounts are tweeting it out, even accidentally, I would imagine there's at least some shred of truth to it all.

I bet Edge is pretty hairy. probably the hairiest of all of them.

Inspector Clouseau said the info is false.

Roll your 'R' with your throat in "InspectoR" with a French accent

I said that earlier

Now yes...back in 1979. Adam was the Hairiest

 

[Aleh_Hewson]

Well, someone can dress up like a pizza delivery guy, knock on Eze's house door and ask Bono what's the real deal

Yeah they at least must be basing it on some kind of rumour... whether this is true or not (which it most likely isn't), it's still something I guess.

What if they called the album "Sirens" because every song is a duet with a different famous female singer?
Oh wouldn't that go down like a lead balloon! ?

A new version of Streets with Mary J Blige will definitely be gratefully received.

True or not, 'Sirens' would be a pretty cool album title. Plus, it's not a really long title!

 

[PhilsFan]

Almost every company's Twitter account is manned and operated by interns or new hires in their early 20s.

 

[prbiker15]

But yes, my initial thought when I saw that it was the possible name of the first single was 'Pearl Jam'.

(Pearl Jam's version is just beautiful, though)

 

[dan_smee]

Can't. Get. Excited.

Sirens the new solar? Account hacked? I just can't believe it yet. As Ax said, give me two listens and I might come around...

Oh boy, second time I edit this post.

So. I did some checks. On May 22nd, U2Valencia posted a picture of a siren circuit scheme, as a hint, as a cover on their Facebook. This proves that U2Valencia even came before Universal Colombia with this 'siren' thing. This could be seen positively - meaning 2 different sources have the same (or similar) piece of news; or negatively - if some bored dude working at Universal Colombia actually reads U2Valencia Facebook - but if that happened, the label should fire him/her, don't you think?

interesting!

They captioned the picture: The Future

Regarding the tweet, I would think that if it was just some intern goofing around and making stuff up, they would send another tweet and issue an apology/correction. The fact that they haven't addressed it might lend to the idea that someone said something they shouldn't have.

Zoo Lemon- nice find, by the way. That's actually kind of cool.

 

[prbiker15]

Interesting stuff.

Agreed. Ranks up there with some of my favorite Pearl Jam songs, which is a very crowded list.

"Yellow Moon" is great as well.

Deseando oir todas las sirenas del mundo empezar a sonar!

Don't know Spanish, but I'm guessing that was a hint

I hate the internet sometimes

Post of the year.

Hmmmm.

Like a siren she calls to me...
You've got a head full of traffic, You're a siren's song...
The sirens are wailing but it's me that wants to get away...

There must be some truth to this from Insiders...Even more if this started late May

I can't believe they've planned this one since the early 90's...

Too many clues dropped here and there in the lyrics..

Good job Jick !

 

[Hewson]

Sirens....Pearl Jam copycat

Its an album of cover songs since Bono has had writer's block for 50 years.

 

[Hewson]

How can we add tags to threads?

I believe the thread creator is the only one who can add them.

 

[Salome]

"The term "siren song" refers to an appeal that is hard to resist but that, if heeded, will lead to a bad conclusion."

So perhaps this could be seen as the final evidence that the band does indeed know about the existence of Interference.

Universal Al Queda just tweeted:

"Death to America, Soccer Moms, and U2"


We're getting close!

U2 Releasing “Sirens” In September According To UMG Tweet, Album Rumored For November - Stereogum

A music blog reporting the same thing based off that tweet. "Sirens" would be a good title, I'm a fan of U2 using shorter titles recently (Ordinary Love, Invisible, maybe Sirens).

In this case, "sirenas" means indeed "sirens".

Interesting that they were sending this out on 5 July
