^thanks a-chan. I just realized I'd seen that pic before :facepalm: and thanks Jesse... was wondering because I also got upgraded by Roadie Matt... though I think it may have been Matt Miller... it's hard to tell from that picture. :inquisitive:

would've been cool for Chicago to get it, but it's great that it'll be in Rio for the first games hosted by South America.

the book sounds fantastic! is there more than one Roadie Matt? Does anyone have a pic?

^:cheesy: Thanks so much!

^I just recently got AHMS, too. The only song I don't love is Disaster Button, but it's a great album. I especially like Engines, The Lightning Strike and Rocket. btw, I just discovered I could download Take Back the City for RockBand... played it for the first time last night... fun!

Oh, thanks for that! I hadn't heard that story. Do you know if there's video of it anywhere? @Strawberry Fields- Man on Wire in on my netflix queue. I've heard great things about it... I'm looking forward to seeing it!

I'm disappointed to hear that as well... I Love Pride and really, really hope it makes it into the setlist when I see them on the 12th!

Was it all necessary? Of course not. It's entertainment, pure and simple. and lest we forget, U2 is in the music BUSINESS.... it's all about the money they can make. I'm willing to forgive a little shameless extravagance and bloated ego in return for the many good things they do in the world and the great music they make.

In the last week or so... The Frames- The Cost Muse- The Resistance Snow Patrol- A Hundred Million Suns (finally!)

Young @ Heart [ame= ] [/ame] funny, touching, life-affirming and heart-breaking all rolled up into one. sooo good. and, they even do a rendition of Fix You.

bumping this up! they were on Conan tonight and are AWESOME. They've got a new album out called 11:11 This is from Letterman last year... check it out! [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V5VFWA2YKdo]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V5VFWA2YKdo[/ame]

PEARL JAM. I liked Nirvana when they came out, but now I feel they're seriously overrated. I much prefer Pearl Jam's Ten to Nirvana's Nevermind.

hmm... I don't know how I feel about the whole Spider-Man thing. It will be interesting, at the very least, I guess. Excited for "part 2" of No Line, though! Songs of Ascent is something I'm anxious to hear.

@William- I completely agree! :D

I'm torn between Here Comes the Sun and The End. Voted for The End. The music kind of encapsulates the feel of the entire album (esp. from the "oh yeahs" into the final refrain). And the lyrics epitomize what The Beatles were about, I think. Good luck with your project!

right this minute I'm loving KITE.

^They're supposed to be recording while still on tour? I haven't checked their schedule recently... do they have any breaks coming up?

^thank you. thank you very much. :P :lol:

cool! I wonder if there are any youtube vids of it out there... I'll have to take a look. :lol::lol: What everyone else has said. This is perfect!

^:lol: yeah, I managed to convince her to come along. I think she'll love it... we've got very similar taste in music! I'm excited to see what she thinks of them. :hug:

Sorry for the massive multi-quote, but here goes... Cool! Thanks for the info! :nice: Great review! Thanks for sharing it. :dance::dance::dance: Have fun! Fantastic videos, thanks! Looks to be about where I'll be sitting. That thing is monstrous, isn't it?!? don't know for sure, but I think it's pretty safe to assume they'll play even if it's raining! Have fun!

@tartpops- yes, it's been done, repeatedly, because it is sooo lovely! :wacky: welcome to the Chris thread! here's a similarly gorgeous one: :heart: Well, bye for now, girls! :hug:

^it's certainly different, but I really like it. :nice: in no order: 1. Lovers in Japan/Reign of Love 2. Death and All His Friends 3. Yes/ Chinese Sleep Chant 4. Strawberry Swing 5. Life in Technicolor ii 5.5 Postcards from Far Away (it hardly counts as a full song, right??) :P

Anna! :kiss: I know... time has flown. I'm so excited to see them. I even gave my friend a SP cd I made and she's turning into a fan now, too! :wacky:

@maccassidy- this thread gives such nice warm fuzzies, doesn't it? :wacky: Welcome, I'm Jen :nice:
