this is not "No Line on the Horizon" by U2

no I think that's an official press release from the future

All press releases from the future will end "Also, the economy"...

I'll just add to the chorus of this is totally awesome.

"stunner shades on/social justice/appearing on magazine stands"

BWAHAHAHAHAHA

i put a post up on my blog about this, too

http://voguingtodanzig.blogspot.com/2009/03/stunner-shades-onsocial.html#links

Two songs that directly parody U2 seems like just the right amount.

I like a lot of this! I think the Elvis Telecom track before it goes noizy is the high point (I like it after that as well, just not as much)

all i can say is it was awesome to contribute a jam to this, and that i am glad i bothered recording the vocal because it had to be done in one take in a closet while my wife was asleep and sick

Now that's dedication!

And to such great effect!

did your wife know you were in the closet?

oops that sounds like a personal question

honey, if you need me I'll just be over here in the closet, mocking bono

to great effect

i think now is as an appropriate use of this sentence closer as can ever be, but no she did not know i was in the closet, no homo.

when it posted, she listened to the song and called me ridiculous (busting chops, not hateful btw!)

hopefully she sang it to the tune of "magnificent"

i am now creating that memory regardless if she did or not

"Magnificent (Ridiculous Remix)"

Actually, there IS going to be a remix collection, surely.

Really can't pick my favorite on this. "Breathe" has maybe the best Bono goofing (and a really nice groove!), but I'm also a sucker for the Laurie Anderson flavor of "Stand Up Comedy"...

Bison, did you masturbate in the closet?

"U2 album! U2 album, lots of etc....
do all yr shopping.. AT WAL-MART!"

(srsly, well done all)

Guys, shall I host this on my helpful webspace?

I'm also a sucker for the Laurie Anderson flavor of "Stand Up Comedy"...

hey cool, somebody caught the sound i was going for!

this is nice! n/a your track is my favorite so far

bimble thats not where i handle my business, it is where i store things with a low priority for immediate retrieval

I nominate "mocking bono" as the new euphemism for handling your business

your roommate's been forever in the bathroom, is he mocking bono in there?

you all do understand that ILX is pretty much mandated to subject the forthcoming Limp Bizkit joint to the same treatment, right?

the Fügügüffü track sounds like beta band!

xpost to wanking joke: "Hang on, I'm nearly at the Edge ... aargh, it's gone Numb."

Anyway. This is a masterpiece, and I've sent a link to various dudes (including a now-on-a-comeback eighties musician friend; really interested to see what he thinks) and had some incredibly positive responses so far. Me: I just love it to bits.

Sign me up!

YES

Hell Yea! Sign me up for that! Song titles are bound to be genius.

I'm in as well!

I saw a CD of the U2 album this morning and the equal sign is actually a sticker on the wrapping!

ZS should do a "peel slowly and see" version that reveals santorum.jpg

the Fügügüffü track sounds like beta band!

Yeah it does, actually! I never would have thought of that. I think it's to do with the vocals.

I once got that same message for my blog. But nothing since then.

this is what i get for posting the sendspace link to this masterpiece on my blog:

All the more reason to send something indignant to some site like Boing Boing who make a living of getting bent out of shape about the DCMA

^^

The send space link in the first post no longer works. The streaming version is up. I've enjoyed "Unknown Caller" the most.

There's a Rapidshare link on my blog

I uploaded a new version to mediafire. this one has 320kbs versions of the "magnificent", "moment of surrender", "get on yr boots", and "white as snow".

http://www.mediafire.com/?mkjcx2mmyln

hey guys,
sorry I didn't answer last week, especially about the 320kb versions, but I was on holidays without an internet access (yeah, that still exists in 2009...).
So I just got to discover our album a couple days ago and I love it !
I agree with everything that's been said, especially how surprisingly cohesive it is.
So far, my favorite track might be "stand up comedy" but the whole thing is great (also the kanye/autotune part on "magnificent" kills me everytime).
It's an honour to be a part of this !
I haven't listened to the U2 one yet (and wonder if I will) but there's no way it can be as great as this !

http://www.go-quick.com/NoLine.html

Nice page. (OK, if I say so myself...)

hey alextc, if you get a chance, send me a 320kbs version of yr song and I will add it to the fairtilizer stream

ok, I will send it "tonight" (on the melody of "if I don't go crazy" !).
could you just give me your e-mail address, please (I don't remember if it's somewhere on this or the other thread) ?
