[macphisto]

I mean, not RIGHT now.

But maybe in like five minutes? Keep us posted.

[stip]

songs of experience has been eliminated, and Acrobat is only the second song to be eliminated from Achtung.

[stip]

Next round is gonna be a bit longer just so we can start the next round clean.

dammit, I've got a scrap of a U2 melody running thru my head and I can't remember which song it is, not even sure of the lyrics. This is maddening!

[evenslow]

you could say it's roughly akin to a MOLE digging in a HOLE!

it was Red Hill Mining Town! glad I got that sorted.

[stip]

I know I've plugged them before, but if you are a U2 fan I HIGHLY recommend James. Laid (their best album) is about as good as anything U2 has ever done, excepting Achtung.

[evenslow]

I don't know that it quite rises to that level but it's very good. "Say Something" is beautiful.

[PHATJ]

I’ll definitely give those a listen when I can, stip.

[stip]

I don't know that it quite rises to that level but it's very good. "Say Something" is beautiful.

they are my 7th and 8th favorite bands. I think I'd have James edging U2 out slightly.

[stip]

kinda shocked that Love is Blindness beat Beautiful Day.


That cover was really good, though

[Bammer]

Is “One” still in this thing?
