Recently got into collecting vinyl. Checked out one of the best records stores in town and was very confused that there was no U2 in the bins. They had all the usuals (R.E.M., Radiohead, The Who, Taylor Swift…). But no U2. I double checked several times. I was feeling all the feels of U2 being side-lined from an entire record store.
Eventually found them hiding in a tiny little New Wave sub-section. Sigh.
(Haircut pending. I’m very blind)
Seems like U2songs is counting down to something. Their Twitter account yesterday posted "THREE" and talked about the U2-3 single. Then today they posted "TWO" and talked about Two Hearts Beat As One. I'm guessing tomorrow will be "ONE" and then Tuesday U2 will be releasing their new single...
I remember when I was at the first time in a concert my big expectation was to listen With or Without You, Streets, Ultraviolet, Walk On, Original of The Species, Miracle Drug and these were really disapointing, not even close from the power of them in studio or oficial live audios. Ultraviolet it self I can't even take serious as if listened :( . One of my favorite songs and so empty in the concert, super sad.
In another hand the power of Sunday Bloody Sunday, I will Follow and New Years Day is unbelieveable, I knew it could be good, but I could not imagine so much. Edge almost really break the strings, each one of them plays perfectly, is easy to understand why it made them so famous in that time.
The big surprise because I was not expecting nothing from those came with Mysterious Ways, Elevation and Vertigo, specially Elevation, its impossible to stay quiet when they play those, the whole stadium go with them, now I know Why they never leave it out of the setlist.
Big Mention to Hold Me Trill Me, One, Zooropa and Even Better, all of them able to fill the Stadium perfectly
"'Street of Dreams' will be out in the coming week." - U2songs
Honestly, this isn't really a surprise. This week we were sent an email teasing upcoming news, and a new clip of the song posted to their YouTube. But today, they updated their channel to have an image of the single (as someone else posted today) and left the note "All roads point to the Street of Dreams". Right now, I just want some info on the album, name, date, cover etc. It's interesting that they release it the same week as the new Rolling Stones album, but I'm tired of waiting for something we know is coming. My guess is Friday, but any day works.
I used it for relaxation purposes XD
I hope you like this experiment I did
U2 - Bullet The Blue Sky
#laatstenummervoorhetslapengaan
My radio show this week is all about cover songs that are better than the original, and Neil Young made the list. What song did I choose? Listen to the full show here: https://www.mixcloud.com/CIDeMann/six-degrees-of-rockination-better-than-the-original-4-july-2026/
I found an audience recording of the first ever U2 concert I went to in 1992 (one of the best shows ever) on YouTube.
I downloaded an mp3 but the sound quality was ok and not great because 1992. So I uploaded it to Claude and had it remastered to sound less tinny and more modern and then cut it up into individual tracks and while it did that, I designed a cover. It’s not perfect but it’s quite good considering.
Now I have a new hobby to find more shows I want to revisit.
new instagram post about street of dreams! possible release tomorrow do we think !?!
I was re-introduced to U2 a couple of months ago following the reccomendation to play some of their songs on a road trip. This quickly became a life changing experience, as hearing mysterious ways for the first time in years flooded back memories of my Mum playing their "best of 1990-2000" album on the stereo while she gardened, and as i dug through that albulm myself I was enchanted by how fantastic U2 is. Prior to this experience, i had been primarily a listener of one band and one band only, being Sabaton, but following a dive into their more popular albulms and ones my parents had (namely "under a blood red sky") I have begun listening to a lot more bands including a very healthy dose of U2. So i come here before the court to request the hidden gems from the band's catalogue, so that my experience may be complete.
For reference some of my favourite songs of theirs are Bullet the Blue Sky, Staring at the Sun, Until the End of the World and Beautiful Day.
