Over here on dotmusic, Bono says the new album is a guitar-driven record. (*waits for Megs to start drooling*) "Edge, I must say, is really doing some extraordinary stuff." (*pauses as Megs basically orgasms and collapses..and is resusitated by a helpful Edge*)
Sounds good.. ^_^
New album - supposedly the end of this year or early 2004! YAY! ...or, then again..maybe something more like 2006? ..this *is* U2 we're talking about... ~_^
Also: starting February 8, they're running a new U2 exhibit at the R&R Hall of Fame, which "features around 15 items of memorabilia, including some of the outfits worn at live shows and in videos over the last 20 years.
All four members of the band have provided instruments for the exhibition, which will also feature lyric manuscripts, set designs, letters and video and animation ideas, reports Launch.com.
A floor of the installation will be devoted to the photography of Anton Corbijn, who has been responsible for a string of well-known U2 shots and videos, while Steve Averill's album designs will also be featured heavily during the run."
Yay for Anton and Steve Averill! ^_^ ...road-trip, anyone? ~_^

Oh! And guess what? Britty was showing me all of her A-ha videos (y'know.."Take On Me"? that's them..but they did a *lot* of other *awesome* stuff - she's got *me* falling in love now *g* .."Summer Moved On". *dies*) this afternoon..and one made me think of "Wild Horses", just in the beautiful black and white imagery of the band contrasted with a sort of story-thing in colour. So, after much silly aggrevation, we put my Best Of dvd on Britty's computer. And watched videos.
And ended up watching about half.
She's totally blown away, she's so impressed by all of their videos! :D
And she commented on how much she looooooves guys in drag..we actually watched the "One" documentary, just to see more. *g* ...and she agrees, Lar's gorgeous, and Bono is in "Wild Horses".."Numb" is one of the greatest vids ever *giggles*.....and "Please" is just amazing, it's what music videos *should* be like...it shows just how much potential they have, potential that's blatently squandered and tossed aside by most.....
Yay for spreading U2ness. ^_^

^~_~^
*coughs* Anyway...now that the evil internet worm of DOOM has apparently decided to take a nap or something and let us all back online...
Awww, Daffy! Wham Bam Adam's adorable. ^_^ Yay for sweet U2s who take care of us!
Megs...the hug-card U2-thing? wow. *giggles* Even *I* didn't think of that!!!! *laughs* ..well..ok, I thought of Lar when it started singing Elvis, but... ;)
YAY for your fic, Laur! So glad you finally got it up, I *love* that one. Will be a good girl and go review in a while...I oughta stop procrastinating and finish reading this chapter for my computer-class..whee.
U2 quote of the moment:
NME magazine: What do you think about when you're onstage?
Adam: "I kind of think how crazy is the singer going to get. And if he does get crazy who he's going to go for first and is there a mic stand near him? That's the most pertinent thing onstage.
Because when Bono's performing he goes where those songs were written and sometimes he doesn't come back for a couple of hours and he can go crazy."
- from a 1988 NME interview, reprinted in The U2 Mag ^_^
