Supposedly Vice are taking over the building.


Maybe some of the idiots who read it will start to see that it's not as cool as it tries (way too hard) to portray itself now.

The cool part was the Syro Surface, not the actual list:

Some U2/Apple backlash

Some more


Pretty much agree with all of it.

A free U2 record? Overpriced.

That band was good, not great, for a three-year stretch over twenty years ago. It is astounding they remain as popular as they are with the glut of terrible material they've put out in the interim and what absolute, unmitigated assholes everyone in the band appears to be.

I mean, am I alone on this? I know Smackie loves them, but the more "hip" 80% of this board, we all hate them, right? U2 is a total nostalgia act and a sucky one at that.

Achtung Baby is the one LP that I have a soft spot for. If I didn't hear "Angel of Harlem" or "Beautiful Day" ever again, I'd be OK with that.

U2 had me through Joshua Tree, lost me with Rattle and Hum, got me back with Achtung Baby, and lost me forever after that.

I've never seen them live and never bought a tshirt.

Some of my Irish ancestors had the same last name as Bono.

I wonder if i pass the Sidehatch coolness test?

Would have been cooler if you said 'after Boy, I really couldn't get into them anymore, '  'also I was fortunate enough to be in the crowd for  Live at Red Rocks: Under a Blood Red Sky and nabbed his sweaty towel when tossed to the crowd'

my peak U2 fandom was Live Under a Blood Red Sky/The Unforgettable Fire

With or without you and I still haven't found what I'm looking for make me want to vommit.....

on the other Where the Streets have no name still has that great buildup...

I have zero interest in U2 these days....that is all I got on U2.

I've never felt the need to defend my musical tastes,  and certainly won't start now.  However,  if you think my  choice of music defines my hipness,  then I am reassured that I am not the one with an issue.

I have tickets to see Social D,  Cock Sparrer,  Luke Bryan and Slowdive/Low show in the next two months,  and will likely  enjoy each one of them.   It's the beauty of my positive outlook and taking most things at face value,  ignoring the bullshit that gets most people so worked up.

Now if you'll excuse,  I'm going back to my Hall and Oates radio,  and doing so not ironically.   They make my dreams come true.
