Shuttlecock! Part XI - We've got that swing of confidence

[elevated_u2_fan]

Band? I just like Italian dinosaur cartoons:

what's with the pig in the apron in the background?

*waits for Lance's Mom joke*

 

[No spoken words]

Stand up Comedy is the worst song on the album, in my humble and honest opinion.

 

[martha]

I'm back from Target and I don't have a fever. yay.

Now, off to Bose headphones, old-fashioned stereo, and recliner land.

See you in a few.

Enjoy!

this has probably been talked about already but no UK bonus track this time around, what's up with that?

 

[corianderstem]

I just entered a contest through a radio station for a trip down to the Shirley Manson-hosted thing in LA. I don't quite understand what the "thing" is, but I know she's involved as a host.

I think other cities' stations are doing call-in things, but this one required you to answer a bunch of U2 questions. So less about timing, more about your skills with Google, a good guess and some luck.

I admit I had to Google - like I know the name of the church Bono and Ali got married in? But there's one question pretty much everyone will have to guess at, unless they stalk this particular DJ - 'how many times has DJ xxx seen U2 in concert?' I guessed 7.

We'll see!

Dalton can likely work out some sort of joke about her being a pig, and how as a Jew I can't eat swine, etc.....

 

[Irvine511]

no copies of the album at the Borders right next door. just the display copy. what gives?

it was sold out at the Starbucks, though. i guess that's a good thing?

i want to add that, like many good things, it's a grower and not a shower. give it a chance and it will expand with every listen.

M I RITE GUYZ!?!?! LOLZ.

 

[corianderstem]

U R right as always, Irvine.

How many times have you listened to the album, Elfa? Approximately.

 

[LarryMullen's POPAngel]

Anyone got a cigarette?

So you like it????

Marry both of us!

Seriously, those who love Crazy are a bit crazy themselves - not my favorite on the album, in the slightest.

But she's forgetting that supreme bit of ass suckage: "Stand Up Referee."

Hey!

How many times have you listened to the album, Elfa? Approximately.

too many times, the new Neko Case finaly broke me from it's spell...

My iTunes at work says 31 times and that's not counting the 'pod

 

[phanan]

Picked up the standard edition at the local independent store for $10, and got a free poster, which I'm betting is the same one that comes with the deluxe edition, which they had for $65.

So for another $55, I could get a DVD that I'll most likely never watch and a nice book that, while I'm sure is well done, wouldn't exactly be something I'd look at a lot.

I'll stick with the $10.

I need the new Neko Case.

Is "finaly" a Canadian word, Zoomerang?

31 times at the least, nicely done.

 

[lazarus]

So do I pull my Best Buy switcheroo or no?

Easy there BoMac, get the new Neko Case, it's really good

I'm actually a lot more anal about the language than he is, but for whatever reason I get away with it without as much fanfare as he gets, which pleases me.

the fact that you don't put a lameSUPER COOL "Grammar Police" badge in your sig helps as well...

True THAT.

I wouldn't, but, I'm not a fucking cheapskate like you, so, by all means, do it.

 

[phanan]

Looking at it in the store, I would think even your Amazon version would have to come shrinkwrapped, because the thing folds out both ways from the middle.

Your call though.

 

[joyfulgirl]

Stand up Comedy is the worst song on the album, in my humble and honest opinion.

At least I'm in good company in the vast minority.

 

[LarryMullen's POPAngel]

I'm glad I ended up at Best Buy - they had a Wonder Woman display with copies of an animated dvd I'd all but forgotten was coming out.

So, yay for dorking out all over the place.

 

[BoMac]

I put it there as a joke as per Sicy's suggestion.

 

[joyfulgirl]

2. Is it just me, or do Bono's shoes get more and more ridiculous each year?

It ain't just you. (I now call them Herman Munster shoes). However, I do not like it when my officemate who calls him Bohnoh makes fun of his shoes. Only we who love him are allowed to make fun of him.

 

[elevated_u2_fan]

your my hero!

 

[BoMac]

your my hero!

I see what you did there.

I think the only song that was a real grower for me was Breathe. It was just so-so at first and then suddenly

Of the other songs that I love, I actually liked them a lot on the first listen and grew to love them more. The other songs I'm not crazy about now I wasn't crazy about on the first listen either.

I actually like everything but just started skipping Stand Up Cock and White as Talcum yesterday.

 

[impy13]

So do I pull my Best Buy switcheroo or no?

Do it. I'm getting the vinyl from them for 66% off. Fuck 'em!
