New album talk - album coming when fish start riding bicycles

[digitize]

Anyone want to set up an Intrade-style betting pool on whether or not this will be new-album related?

What does the e-mail say? I just got one from U2.com that says "U2 subscriber's special-not to be missed" in the subject line, but the e-mail itself is totally blank.

Same here!

no, that's exactly right

Since the e-mail mentions a particular time (6:30 EDT US), maybe that means the new single will be premiering on Dave Fanning's show tomorrow night and the fan club can't share it until after Dave has played it. Yeah, that's a stretch. For one thing, the times don't line up.

this is how dreams are crushed, u2.com

Something to do with the 25th anniversary of rattle and hum i think. Is the picture in the email the recording equipment in the wareshouse from the rattle and hum movie?

If it isnt anything to do with new material thats just cruel from u2's part,they know everyones going crazy for new material, rumours are coming out all over the place and to tease us like this is "so cruel"

I was thinking the same.

That Tiesto bullshit on Thanksgiving Day should have burned me for good, but alas, I'll be checking in at the appropriate time. *sigh*

"show you some love", people, it's about Lovetown.

I'd be so down for a Lovetown DVD.. would subscribe to that piece of shit website in a heartbeat.

why would they release something from love town and do nothing for rattle and hum don't make much sense

I'm not so sure. Is U2.com really that clever?

I got that too, but it was at the old e-mail address I had with them. They also sent one to my current one, which had the information listed. Sort of odd.

Not only that, but how many U2 songs use the word 'love'? If it was a hint it seems rather silly to assume Lovetown.

 

[U2girl]

The new single title announcement ?

 

[Reg McGowan]

I don't want to crush your hopes guys, but i'm pretty sure it has something to do with Rattle and Hum's 25th anniversary. It could be an exclusive offer on a newly remixed package/album or a picture book with stories about the Lovetown tour...but hey, it doesn't hurt to dream a little

 

[Super Yo]

Wait and see...

Aargh, I'd love to think it's something related to the new album, but I'm pretty sure it's not, sounds more like Rattle and Hum anniversary stuff, since they posted RAH pictures on the official instagram a while ago. I wouldn't get my hopes up. "A bit special" doesn't sound like an album or single announcement at all.

 

[Van Cleef]

Live from Point Depot as the new subscribers gift?

Do you think that's actually a U2 official Instagram account though? Those pictures are so low quality. At least one is just a book or record(?) scanned on a copier, you can see the spine along the side. (Why do people think it's "official"? Does Instagram verify accounts somewhere?)

Unless of course it's the cover to part of the Rattle and Hum reissue or something...

 

[LedHed1234]

Has anyone been able to identify the picture? It has to be included in the email for a reason (you would think.)

 

[BVS]

I have to say, if it is a R&H anniversary, they did a pretty good job keeping it quiet for this long.

Can someone post the photo please?

Thanks. Is that the actual size of the photo? It's too small for me to make anything out.

 

[burningedge101]

I'm guessing they're going to stream the love town show "U2 Love: live from the point depot"

Already been released on the u2 ipod digital boxset so i hope it isnt that

In lousy mp3 quality....

 

[chork]

I do not want "something a bit special".

I want something that is a GODDAMNED MOTHERFUCKING MINDFUCKINGLY MONUMENTALLY MASSIVE IMPLOSION OF AWESOMENESS AND PURE FUCKING SUBLIMATION!!!!

Seriously, is that too much to ask?

 

[stigman]

Rattle and hum anniversary is gone now why would they announce something now about an anniversary that was last week

 

[mama cass]

$10 says its a lame remix
