Have major huge concert etc. write-up to do, but first!!!!!!
Went *FAR* too long w/o checking U2-ness.
According to mtv.com, "U2 will release their second greatest-hits compilation, U2 - The Best of 1990-2000, on November 12. The first single, "Electric Storm," will be released in October and is one of two new songs on the 17-track album."
Waiiiii~~~~~~~~~~~!!!!!!!!!!!! *is spazzing out for the third time tonight* (well, about *this* for the third time. *g*)
*SO* incredibly cool - I've been wanting to hear "Electric Storm" for soooo long now...prolly nearly a year ago, I first heard the title...err, thining about it, maybe only six months or so, but STILL! Yayyyyyyyyyyy!!!!!!!!!!!! ^_^
..and lesseee.....*calculating*..."Sweetest Thing" was the "new single" (tho actually a remake of a b-side *g*) back when they released the first Best Of...that was...hrm., what year? '99, right. ATYCLB came out in 2000.
^_^
..which means....probably new album in 2003 (not that far away!!! *G* ..and they *have* been known to release stuff in months *other* than October..tho they *do* seem to like that month ~_^)...which means tour!!! Possibly 2003, should they release the album early enough...most likely 2004. Hrm. ...actually, this's good, cos it gives me some time to start saving up. ^_^ (Daf and Laur, I suggest you do the same. You're both SO coming with me, to at *least* one concert. ...ehrm, tho *you* guys might be the ones driving...*g* I can get tickets semi-cheaper thru the fan club, but then, last time I was limited to two, altho.......wtf. This is still two years away!!! *IF* they stay on schedule, which they neverever *do*. *laugh*)
