gooooodness, far too much excitement for lil me tonight. *g*

- I found U2 bit torrents. <3 ..not that many people seem to be on, it's really going to take me a week to get anything, but holy feck is there a lot of video, it's allll good.

- I *knew* something had to've taken the place of u2bloodredsky in the realm of U2 bootleg downloads...and something did. u2bloodredskyhub. which, unfortunately, is ridiculously more complicated, but it's so going to be worth it because do you know what these people *have*?
FIVE FECKING TERRABYTES OF U2 BOOTLEGS.
So all of this registering for their forums and downloading and learning a whole entire new program (which fortunately looks like a cross between an ftp server and irc in terms of interface, so maybe I'll figure it out) and waiting a few days for them to sign me up for the sharing-thing and trying to figure out what the hell information I'm supposed to give them.. oh my goodness is this ever going to be worth it.
^__________________________^

- on a related note, it was on the afore-mentioned site that I learned that THERE *IS* A BOOTLEG OF THE ROCHESTER '87 SHOW!!!! \0\ /0/ \0\ /0/ I really *had* begun to lose hope, cos I mean, bloodredsky'd had nearly *everything*, esp. from JT tours on, but they never had Rochester.. but someone on the forums at bloodredskyhub asked if anyone had it to share - they had three songs from it already, and had seen the bootleg for sale on a site I've yet to check out... omfg I'm so excited, I've literally been looking for this show for *years*. ^_________^ Cos this's the one my parents went to, *and* it was the last time they played Rochester (I think), and, well, I *almost* went to it *giggles* except that I was only three years old at the time.

- I found (via linkage on one of the interference forums) that song Edge did for the new Batman cartoon! \0/ go here, poke around on that lil bat-logo to find the 'download mp3' option. well and they play it in the lil preview video clip, but it's lower quality. the cartoon itself doesn't look like anything special, pretty similar to most of the rest of what's out there right now, but holy *fuck* does the song kick ass. Edge = supergenius. <3 (It's only just over a minute long, but this just meant that I listened to it 50 times in a row instead of the maybe 25 times I would've otherwise. *g*)

- getting away from U2 for *just* a moment, the first round of presidential debates were on tonight, and that's always interesting...
and I still have no idea who I'm voting for, as Laur pointed out in her away message, it really is down to a 'lesser of two evils' thing again, and idek, cos I have some issues with both of them. meh.
but it's always amusing to watch britty flipping out. *giggles*
and it was funny too cos we're sitting there critiquing all over the place - and yes, even the colours of their ties (this is what happens after we took language in society last semester). mom pointed out that red = power colour, but I'm sorry, it just made Kerry look demonic. like it picked up on his cheekbones, then add that to the fact that he was generally on the offensive to begin with (as I s'pose he had to be), and.. idek. *giggles* Bush was all calming in the blue, but it wasn't a laid-back blue tie, it had funky lil patterns on it. And yeah Bush floundered some, but I'm sorry, that *is* a lot of thinking on your feet, I know *I'd* get lost.. Kerry missed on points too, they *both* talked in circles which drove Britty and I absolutely fecking nuts..

- in other non-U2 news, it would appear Daf and I're going to Alfred on Saturday. *G* which'll work out nicely because Laur's having a ddr party and I've not played in far too long. ^_____^ dunno yet if we're staying over 'til Sunday.. your call, Daffy, you're the one driving. *g* and I know most people besides me usually have hw and things.

- and back to U2 news cos it's just that happy right now. well, except for the title of the new album. *facepalm, groans* Why will they not let Larry have a say, this is going to look DREADFUL on t-shirts, and this's *TWO* ridiculously long titles in a row. and this one doesn't even abbreviate nicely. atyclb looks cool. htdaab doesn't. at all.
hot dab.
*giggles*
I'm sorry, that's just all I'm going to be able to think of it as, it's retarded.

- but the good news. *G* from Billboard.com, via Interference.com:
Just one week after hitting radio, and a little more than a month before hitting store shelves, U2 single "Vertigo" has already ranked on Billboard's charts. The song debuted at No. 46 on the "Hot 100" and No. 18 on the "Modern Rock" chart.

Both rankings are based entirely on airplay, so be sure to call or e-mail your local radio stations and ask them to keep playing "Vertigo."
