    OMG Mark, it's not false! North Star is the greatest U2 song ever recorded. It's working for me! I'm so excited! This is the greatest U2 album ever!!!

    I even got a complimentary virus and a few trojans. In case you didn't guess, it is a definite fake.


    ROFL! I knew North Star would be awesome!


    I already found out it was fake
  2. It's Six O'Clock just has Eno reading various times of the day out over some slow background noise.

    I wanted to have fun with the fakes. The first one was circulating around August this year.
  3. New U2 song next week?U2, Coldplay, John Legend help launch (RED)WIRE (Billboard)

    Some of the biggest names in music are contributing exclusive songs to (RED)WIRE,
    a new digital music magazine launching on World AIDS Day (Dec. 1).
    U2, Coldplay, the Killers, the Dixie Chicks, John Legend, R.E.M. and Bob Dylan are
    on board for the initiative, from which all proceeds will benefit HIV-infected people
    in Africa. MSN.com will host a kick-off party on Dec. 1.

    For $5, users will receive a new issue of (RED)WIRE every Wednesday, featuring an
    exclusive song from a major artist, a song from an artist (RED) aims to showcase,
    a multimedia piece that could encompass video or photography and a look at how proceeds
    are directly benefiting Africans in need. The materials will be downloaded to a
    custom player and automatically loaded into iTunes.
    Users can send two free issues to friends and will be rewarded if those friends
    join. ''Artists are already saying, 'I want to give you a track for
    those people who brought friends in,''' says (RED)WIRE founder Don MacKinnon.
    ''That's the biggest idea: using social networking to actually change
    the world in a unique way.''

    U2's track was recorded just last Wednesday, Nov. 19, while the Killers, Elton
    John and the Pet Shop Boys' Neil Tennant teamed up for the Christmas song ''Joseph,''
    which MacKinnon describes as ''like a power ballad.'' This is the
    third year in a row the Killers have penned a holiday song and donated proceeds
    to (RED).
    Also coming is the first new Dixie Chicks song since the group's Grammy sweep
    in 2007, ''Lucky One,'' and Elvis Costello and the Police jamming
    on ''Watching the Detectives'' and ''Walking From the Moon,''
    taped during Costello's new Sundance Channel show ''Spectacle.''
    Additional (RED)WIRE offerings will be announced in the coming weeks.
    MacKinnon is particularly enthused about the creative directions open to (RED)WIRE,
    especially with such high-profile artist participation.
    ''I had a meeting with Jay-Z, and he wants to talk about artists to be featured
    in that spotlight slot,'' he says. ''Big artists may curate an issue.
    The whole goal was to create a creative platform. When somebody says, 'I do
    all this photography and I want to put it in as an extra,' That's when I
    go, this is going to be really cool.''

  4. where did everybody go?
  5. well all the americans are passed out from all the turkey


  6. Oohh..thanksgiving ofcourse..we Europeans don't celebrate, so here I am.


  7. can I join?

    (I couldn't resist going OT )


  8. OT indeed....my fault .....not like there's anything to keep us on topic though


  9. Okay, since there's nothing really to discuss: we had a You Too a few months about which new song sounded most promising...What do you guys think now?

    I said North Star back then cause it sounded (title-wise) like Vertigo, Elevation, The Fly, etc. (short title, great word to rhyme on)

    Now I'm really looking forward to the 7-minute NLOTH, which is the new version of Mercy I think
  10. Was NLOTH one of the beach clips? The one with a guitar solo similar to Acrobat's at the end. ie Clip 1.
    Because that is one great song in progress.

    But it's only 4 mins, (but it starts in the middle of the song) so unless it's grown longer, it's probably Moment of Surrender or something. And is Mercy on the album even?

    They said it would be, but probably re-worked (different lyrics, slight change of melody) a la Native Son/Vertigo

    That's good, it could be better, more interesting towards the end.
