Yep - quite liked Neon Lights. I also agree that Smile would have made a nice B-side.

Why would they do that? Wasn't Breathe played? Even that's gotta be better than Vertigo.

Wonder what that last track on the three-track CD is. Probably the Magnificent video - or a Somerville track.

I hope that TBD is the Fez video. What is a TBD, out of curiosity (a download)?

A download on a CD seems to lessen the idea of physical purchase. After all, isn't that what you're buying?

Neon Lights is a cover?

(You know I originally thought it was COBL, way back)

And where's Holy Joe from? AB?

Neon lights is a Kraftwerk cover and a great cover to. Holy Joe is from Pop

@drew. TBD in this case means To Be Decided. Likely to be a video download of some sort as spread predicted.

Do U2 decide the B-sides or the record company? They do seem a bit shit recently. But JuJuman is right, other bands don't bother either. Is it because of mp3 do we think?

I guess both are having a word in it. I'd think that the band has the last word on it, though.
Mp3 and illegal downloading would be the 'justification' the industry uses. Not a valid point imho but that's what they use as standard. They don't realize that if they want people to buy something, they have to make it worth buying. Which isn't the case with the recent b-sides.

Absolutely. Magnificent live from Somerville could also be a nice B-side btw.
