“The Air Is Heavy….um, Heavy As A TRUCK?

Those interested in hearing U2’s new single “Electrical Storm” should try out this site, which has three mirrors to download the song from, as well as the lyrics. I’ve heard it, and I just think it’s mediocre, competant but uninspired. It reminds me a lot of “Staring At The Sun” from Pop, but with some leftover All That You Can’t Leave Behind bombast on the choruses. They can do a lot better than this, but it’s not awful. It’s at least a lot better and a great measure more subtle than the over-the-top saccharine on most of All That You Can’t Leave Behind, so I’m grateful for that. Oh, and judging by the transcript, Bono’s lyrics aren’t getting any better… (Note: this link is no longer working as of late this afternoon – I guess this, and all the other sites hosting the song got hit with cease and desist orders from Interscope – sorry. Check your favorite file sharing service, I’m sure you’ll be able to find it easily.)

All I’ve Got Inside Is Vacancy

I’m guessing that today’s sudden burst of search engine referrals looking for Redd Blood Cells mp3s might have something to do with the small article about that project in yesterday’s New York Times. If you’ve come here looking for them, I’m sorry, but I can’t really help you unless you go on Soulseek. You can download them from me there…
