Cool! Get On Your Boots is a kick-ass song!

Eno's iTunes library is a U2 superfan's wet dream, with what seems to be hundreds of discarded songs and alternate takes. In some cases, Eno has written critiques in the 'Comment' field, such as, "This song needs faster and more urgent singing." He demonstrates the evolution of one potential single, Stand Up Comedy: it began as a tune driven by Middle Eastern-sounding mandolins, with Bono singing, "We don't know what the future's gonna bring." From there, it took on a You Really Got Me-like riff and a chanted chorus that revolved around the words "for your love" -- a little too close to the Yardbirds for comfort. Then it shifted again: new riff, new melody and a chorus that retains only the words "for your love" -- upstairs, Bono and Lillywhite are still working on it. Get On Your Boots, which began as a GarageBand demo by the Edge, went through a similarly complex progression. At one point, it was called Four-Letter Word. And at some stage it lost its central riff, leaving it sounding like what Lillywhite describes as "a Beck B side" that was in danger of being dropped from the record altogether.

Garageband is great, but unless you have an apple OS on your PC it won't work.

I read something a bit funny, Apple has more money than the U.S. state.

They need to cap the debt.
