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

btw

nice job y'all. m bison and alextc in particular killed it, imo.

was listening to it again this morning and was struck by how thematically cohesive it is - internet age referendum / reflection on fame, pop music, social justice, stunna shades. maybe that's what makes it seem more aurally cohesive, the riffing on topic?

also wanna give a shoutout to "stand up comedy", the chewy off-center center of our tootsie roll pop clusterfuck

still have not heard actual U2 album lol

lol, from The Ideal Copy newsletter sent out today:

The new U2 album is out today and we are bewildered that only one customer has ordered it from us. Many ordered the single which only results in more head-scratching about the album. (Speaking of the single, Get On Your Boots, we are attempting to track down the 3-Track CD single and will hopefully have that next week.)

It's tough to compete one price with the retail giants, but we're pretty sure we have the lowest price on the Vinyl release, plus we've finally activated and confirmed the Japanese Edition which does have one Bonus Track.

lol should we forward them our link, see if they do any better

oh good, when the album flops they can blame us

Universal Music Group today announced a Q1 earnings impairment due to a surreptitious copycat release of U2's latest album which caused mass consumer confusion. Said one befuddled music fan, "I listened to what I thought was an Internet stream of the new U2 album, and it sounded like Bono's idea of a sick joke. I was so paralyzed by fear and loathing, I couldn't bring myself to buy it at Wal-mart. Also, the economy."

oh my god that is classic.

HAHAHAHAHAH is that real??

uh

I was so paralyzed by fear and loathing, I couldn't bring myself to buy it at Wal-mart.

ahahahaha!

well done ilx

Guys, think about it for more than a second. Edward III made that up. (Funny but in no way true.)

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

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.

vote The Suburbs

the next Strokes album could be a candidate

Defintely the new Arcade Fire album, although preferrably the joke tracklisting that was floating around. In fact, I volunteer to be the midwife that brings Neighborhood #5 (Hockey) kicking and screaming into the world.
