The first single from the new album, “No Line On The Horizon” is streaming online today.  The album comes out March 3rd. Hard to believe it’s been more than 4 years since U2’s last album.  I remember trying to buy tickets to see them for the Vertigo tour and being unsuccessful, due to website issues.  I also remember they had a huge problem with scalpers then and a lot of people were upset.  U2’s been my favorite band since my dad bought me the Joshua Tree album when I was a kid…but I’ve never seen them live!!!  If they come anywhere near here this time, I plan to see them.  I think it would be awesome to see them at the Gorge.

I like the track. The guitars have somewhat of an Achtung Baby feel to them.

Its been about 8 months since my last post so I figured now would be a good time for another.

While there are many reasons for this long break, such as returning to school or playing too much Rockband and other videogames, the main reason was due to site issues and some frustration.  Not sure how, may have been my host, but my entire “mediaalbums” directory just vanished one day, along with all the videos and photos.  I was rather disappointed to find out that my host doesn’t backup folders containing MP3s or video files, due to size.  Without a backup I’d have to set the whole system up again and I really didn’t want to.  Aside from that I also had some issues with hackers and decided to lock down the site until I could fix everything.  Now that Wordpress has a more adequate method for inserting images and media, I’ve decided to resume.  I’m still in the process of changing the look and fixing/removing dead links and images so please excuse the mess.
