Listening to the new U2 album. Remember release parties where you'd stay up all night on monday to get a new album at midnight. Then you'd drive around in your car with your lover and listen to the whole thing before going home. Well around here they don't do that anymore. Last night my hubby was going to get the new U2 at midnight but couldn't find anyone who was going to be selling it at midnight. I went this morning at 11:00 ish to Walmart (because it's close by) and asked for the album. A guy asked another guy who said "yeah, i think they're in a box somewhere" so he moved a whole slue of boxes and came up with an unopened box of precious U2 CD's. Weird, i was the first person looking for it today? maybe it's cause i was at walmart, or it could be the internet. I'm inclined to blame the internet, but since i love it, i'll forgive it.

So i'm listening to the new U2 album, it takes me back to my more obsessed days, but it's also new and that's amazing. Sometimes i don't feel like i breathe enough, and a new U2 song is like a deep breath! Thank heaven that Bono is using his voice again. I missed it. Granted, i still haven't even listened to the whole thing yet (i haven't mentioned that it's called No Line on the Horizon) but thank heaven that U2 is still making music. I needed this right about now!
