U2 Tour Dates - Now Official! — Page 167

OMG, Tiff! I think I need to PM Elphie and tell her to just stay away from the thread until she goes to her show! I hate to be such a wench, but I'd hate for her to have gotten this far only to get spoiled a month from go-time! She hasn't been looking at setlists since, what, June?!?!

Anyway, 10/10 is up on interference. I'm going to try to DL it now...well, what's up from it. They're track by track and only through 14, I think. Hmm...maybe I'll just wait and see if someone posts them in zipped files. Oh, and my friggin DellPod is screwed up (aaaaand I almost left it in my Feature Writing class! *headdesk!*) Actually, it's not the DellPod that's screwed up, it's the software. I dl'd it onto my computer the day I moved in, and then a week or so later, my computer started acting really funky (very, very slow; MS Word wouldn't open, etc, etc) so I set my computer back to the day before I moved in, and it wiped out the software (which I didn't realize until last night when I tried to upload 10/14 onto it, and the software was no longer there...which also explained the lack of Adobe Acrobat while you were here, Tiff, since I installed them together)...ANYWAY, I re-downloaded the software, but when I went to install the plug-in, it wouldn't take, and when I reopened Musicmatch, it came up w/ some update, so I clicked OK, but then, mid-stream, I decided I didn't want an update, that I just wanted to get it working and I'd deal w/ updates later. So, I reboot my computer, and now I've got some Y! Music 10.1 on my computer in place of Musicmatch 10.0, and NOTHING works! F*CK ME!!!

So, I'm waiting for 9pm to roll around (only a couple minutes away) and I'll try calling Dell and see if someone there can talk me through this! BLAST!

....ummm...maybe....

I talked to a very nice guy from Dell for over an hour!!! And he taught me a new way to do everything (uploading from the internet and from CDs)...I'm kind of pissed that I can't just do it the way I used to, but this seems to be working. I just downloaded 10/14 on to my computer and then onto my DellPod and renamed all the tracks/album/artist info.

Off to see if someone's put up a zipped version of 10/10 on interference!

---

I now seem to have no problem *knock on wood* w/ my DellPod. Musicmatch was all frigged up, but I've uninstalled it, and I ripped a CD, converting tracks to MP3 w/ WMP and then cut and pasted my zipped tracks directly from the folder in my music into my "music library" for my DellPod (in a folder/program that I didn't even know existed!!) So, all is good. Also, in uninstalling Musicmatch, the 10/14 show was converted back to WMP files, rather than Musicmatch. I haven't tried burning it to CD now, since I was plugging away w/ the other stuff until after midnight, but I'm thinking it might work now. And even if it doesn't, at least I've got both 10/14 and 10/10 on my DellPod.

*Pfew*

Anyway, now if only a copy of 10/8 would show up!!! *fingers crossed*

I have no idea how to send you links to my own downloaded versions of 10/10...Like my own Yousendit links. The track by track listings are up on interference, under Vertigo Tour, Audio/Video. I have no idea if the links will have expired by now or not though.

I PMd Elphie "warning" her of the potential spoilers, and she said she's probably just going to avoid the thread for the most part...I guess she's got finals and stuff coming up anyway.

Saw Capote and Shopgirl today (for free! YAY!) Both were very good. Jason Schwartzman was A-MAZING in Shopgirl! Beyond hilarious. And I didn't even hate Claire Danes!

No worries in NYC. *knock on wood* Maybe it's one of those "they go in three's" sort of deal, and I'll be good to go.

The roomies are here, so I'm probably going to go in the bedroom and read. No cartoons, but I'm still not keen on listening to the TV blasting not-so-funny comedies.

Later!

---

Ok...I'm back. The chair in the bedroom is really uncomfortable, so if I've got someone to chat w/ I'll put up w/ the bad, loud TV.

I was very surprised the MD speech was only two minutes long. It shouldn't take too long to transcribe.

If you're still here, I'll put a more detailed IML review, though there's one on the main board (from someone who's friend e-mailed it to them) that's about as spot on as you're going to get!)

ETA:


Pretty much everything you need to know about IML!!!

I read that thread already. Are you telling me that's seriously what happens?? I thought that was a joke thread! You're serious???

Yeah, it took longer to transcribe than I thought - mainly because he was so incoherent that I wasn't sure if I heard correctly. (The stuff I wrote is pretty much what I was sure of, though.) The most important bits: "kung-fu future" and the freakish hypothetical dialogue between the band sans Bono. (I mean, dude's standing outside a futuristic spaceship in the north part of Dublin and he lets freakin' LARRY do the talking? I didn't know we were ALSO on a parallel universe! As if.)

---

The Edge is actually the kung-fu future. HAHAHAHAHAHHA!!!! (I need one of those interference smiley things that has the head laughing and pounding on the ground)

I think he said "The Edge has actually come from the future!

HAHAHAHAHAH!!!

---

hey guys, what's shaking?

Hey Beks, nothing much. Go bump Bitches! What happened to it??

(And did you guys wanna see the BWW HH pics? I made notice of them on the BWW HH thread.)

Yeah...That review was pretty much right on w/ the glory that is In My Life. It was really bad. But sadly, there weren't enough laugh out loud funny/bad moments. Maybe it would depend on the audience you're seeing it w/ though. Though my friend and I did have a couple of times when we just couldn't stop laughing. One was the flaming angel talking to someone (in heaven, mind you) w/ an iPod on, and he said something about "You and your high-tech be-bop plugs" or something to that effect. There was something about the "be-bop" plugs (or whatever he said...actually, I don't think it was plugs) that just got us giggling, and we couldn't stop for a good minute (and considering the fact that we thought Bono's speech was 5 minutes minimum, a whole minute of failed-to-be-repressed giggling is a long time!)

---

That's such a Chuckles-the-clown-Mary-Tyler-Moore inappropriate-laughter moment! What seats did you have again? Pity it wasn't even, like, RHPS-type bad - but repressed laughter means SOMETHING was amusing, even if it was unintentionally so!

DO NOT PUT A NEW ROLL INTO THE DISPENSER, MABEL. Don't do it. If you need to pee, take a roll in with you and take it out. Let that evil bitch deal with it when she gets bad later on tonight/tomorrow.

Beka, how often do you go into the city??
