  1. okay...I was just browsing youtube...it's sad to see that a song like Kesha's Tik Tok which is essentially talking about pedicures on toes and having a wild party gets 95 million views and a song like Love is Blindness which is talking about terrorism and has some of Edge's best works gets 1 million
  2. Haha, wait until you see the likes of Justin Bieber...


    Baby feat Ludacris - 742,016,135 views...

  3. fuck...
  4. one thing makes me happy tho and that's the like-dislike ratio for bieber compared to U2
    For U2 it's like 99 percent like over dislike. For bieber it's like 35 percent.
  5. Quality over quantity

  6. Yep, somehow.
    The whole music industry is messed up. 20 years ago everyone was talking about U2 or similar bands, now it's all bieber, kesha and all the other shit.


  7. So... finally. Me singing Rockin' In The Free World on my class' cabaret.

    Do we have any non-U2 covers topic I could post it in?
  8. No. But the Almost Better TTRT is no U2-specific, so I guess it could serve
  9. Nice job Olof, looking good too. I see you got the Bono-legs syndrome

  10. Thanks! Yeah... I pretty much gotta keep the beat of music with something... It's probably pretty annoying If that's what you meant.
  11. Just having one of those moments when you give yourself a bit of a mindfuck. Thinking to myself, if the human memory could be given a number like a computer hard drive, how much information can we really store? Googled it and the answers vary, as you'd imagine, since the brain is one of the most complex inks known to man. Some amateur estimates range from a simple 50kb of active memory, through to between 1-10 terabytes of actual stored information. One professor of psychology placed a huge number on the actual storage based on trillions of neuron connections that make up a memory. The number was 2.5 petabytes. Now, I can't even imagine that in life I could amount 2.5 terabytes if I recorded my life in HD, 24/7. But it's an interesting number. If I had 2.5 petabytes just sitting in my head, I wish I could connect myself up via USB and use some of it.

    Then I came onto my next thought, CPU speed. I mean, the brain is fast. But so Is a CPU, but both work very, very differently. I mean, hand the CPU a really difficult calculation and it'll return the answer when you press enter. But show it something that our brain has already learnt to recognise and the CPU will lose.

    And then there's also the point of actual seeing things. Our brain can process the world in the highest definition and resolution our eyes can see, just imagine how much processing power a computer would need to recreate the world we see. We don't even feel any strain when we open our eyes and take in the world, it's just so easy and so instant for the brain.

    Anyway, point is, I love my brain. Time to put it into sleep now though, after a quick defrag tomorrow morning and maybe a virus scan, I hope to come here and find another brain that is loved
  12. Another good mindfuck is to lie outside, stare into a star filled sky and think about how vast the universe is.

    I'll leave that for another day though, last time I/we did that, it was a long night. Fun though.
