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!

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

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.

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.
