*helpless whimper*
*has left fresh teeth marks in side of hand*

I

need

U2iPod

and

digital boxset omFg

*whiiiiiiiiimpers!*

do you know what is IN that thing?! only EVERY single and bside EVER, *all* the way back to U2-3 and INCLUDING random things like J. Swallow and all, which I have most but not all of (and all downloaded and some sketchy quality, like the 11 O'Clock single), AND allllll those random remixes that were on the crazy tons of singles in the 90s-present (including all the Vertigo remixes, whihc're spread across like, three versions of the single)..
AND three entire concerts! (ehm, which I think I already own, with the possible exception of the 1981 Boston show..lemme check.. ...*laughs* I so do, that's the "Another Time, Another Place" bootleg. okbutstill, that's mad fecking cool.)
and most of these you can download individually (though that'd still rack up a looooot for me cos I need remixes like mad yo), BUT!!!

THE FIRST DEMO VERSIONS OF STREET MISSIONS, THE FOOL, AND SHADOWS AND TALL TREES EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

*THESE* are what were on ebay awhile back, that we were flipping the FUCK out over (so does this mean someone in the U2 camp *did* end up buying the things back?)!

..and even *if* that winds up being the same versions I downloaded off Napster eons ago, they'd be *good* quality on this, which'd be nice.

*twitching*

*a lot*

*and not just from the cold*

...now how to get $450 out of two/three sets of people whose individual Christmas budgets for me usually run just shy of $100? (two/three sets of people who don't all exactly get on so well sometimes.)

...

there are times that having a birthday so close to Christmas comes in handy. not often, but..

*spazzing like nobody's business* neeeeeeeeeeeeeeeed~~~
and it'll save me soooo much time aggrevation and possibly even money in the future, I'm sure U2 will coordinate things and all cos they're awesome like that and me having an iPod/U2iPod will be maaad conducive to me getting hold of concerts and new tracks and everything else.

and I *REALLY* need to go the feck to sleep.

I'm not really this selfish and needy when it comes to stuff, y'all know I'm not.. I.. just.. every now and again, there's something. this is the something. *paws at the itunes store, where the listing of alllll the songs on the digital boxset are visible*

p.s. "sun moon and stars" or whatever it was called is nowhere to be seen in this thing. I *know* I heard mention of it around ATYCLB, and it seemed it was being considered for or was a b-side to European copies of the Elevation single.. I really think I have it, or at least some early form of it, in soundcheck form from an undated Melbourne show, and it sototally kicks ass. hmmm.

..we thought the Monkees had a pretty big backlog of tracks left in the can? y'all have aaaany idea how many hundreds of dollars worth of stuff U2's got stashed away that's probably mad fecking awesome but either didn't fit an album or meet their extreme levels of perfectionism? *whimpers, paws at the babies*
this is a good start. really. but.. *head spins at the amount still unheard*
