A confession, but not the one you're expecting.

A confession, but not the one you're expecting.

So I'm sitting here, listening to the reissue of U2's The Joshua Tree Tree, and damn if they did not have it fucking down back then. Even the bonus disc, of unreleased tracks (FWIW, the version of "Sweetest Thing" they recorded in 1987 kicks the ass of the new millennial re-recording / single), slay ... and build ... and reach those anthemic stadium-fucking-heights that no band seems able to do anymore (sorry Win Butler y crew, you reach, and I love you for that, but it ain't the same.).

Man, am I in a fucking retro mood today, or what? Must be the Panic! in my veins.

Here, listen.

MP3: U2 "Luminous Times (Hold On To Love)"
