I don’t know why. It’s an utterly fantastic album. Maybe one day people will understand.

I don’t care who’s missing on that list or who’s been active before 2010. I come here to hear about new music, and all of this is new music. So many thanks Stereogum for the heads up: I’m really enjoying this mixtape!

It’s funny that you should ask this… I was a huge U2 fan in the ’90s. I don’t care much for their music since the “Beautiul Day” single, but I’m still vaguely interested in all U2-related news. Just some strange curiosity, almost always followed by disappointment, and then by a feeling of shame of having thought that I actually might have not been disappointed. I bought their last album and listen to it for maybe a week; it didn’t seem so bad to me. New music to feed nostalgia, I guess.

So, yes, I’m actually interested in U2 posts on Stereogum. But I don’t really know why.

Never a dull moment with Mr. Albarn. This will indeed be the soundtrack my summer’s soundtrack, and in fact it’s already my spring’s.
