Hey, it was me! I started it.
Top work.
Wow, the memories. What a place this was, in its glory days.

Hey, it was me! I started it.
There was a Song Survivor tournament in EYKIW in early 2008 where a number of threads had turned into quite extended chats. First round for Pop really took off and we maxed out the thread way before the poll was due to close, so we continued the chat in a random different thread - the joke was that we'd get EVERY old thread closed for reaching the post limit. At this point we had no proper name but referred to the "postwhorehouse".
We hatched the plot for the Kunstmuseum Liechtenstein gig and after that we were banished! I can't recall who started the first thread in the designated chat area (Varitek maybe?) but whoever did it called it the "Australia Superthread" because a large proportion of posters either lived in Australia or were deemed to be honorary Australians. From that we decided each subsequent thread would go somewhere else in the world - initially some were chosen just for their obscurity but of course the rude and funny names quickly took over.
I also miss the days when I’d present alternate U2 song choices per album and get railed because U2 is and was perfect in their selections.
im sort of generally pulling myself back from social media or any online community at this pt, its sort of tiring for me
Yeah, I’ve always been grumpy they never properly recorded 11 O Clock Tick Tock. With the issues surrounding October, that would have also been a good place for it to show up re-recorded.
Twitter sucks ass dawg
Yeah it's weird to me that it never got redone, especially as it was such a live staple.
I definitely wouldn't do alternate lists these days like I did in the past, but good stuff. Surprised no JT changes, as I think that album can really benefit from a modified order.
But these are all songs I wrote on acoustic guitar so I could play them live alone if no one was free.
Bono rang and wants to know more about your methods.
Good luck mate.
