U2 360

U2 finished its European leg of the U2360 Tour with a bang. They are now in the states and rocking. "Your Blue Room" off of Passengers and "Stuck in a Moment" off of ATYCLB are awesome.

I kinda like their old stuff mixed in with seven to eight new songs from No Line. "I'll go Crazy" is the best song off of the new long player, of course.

Wifey and I will see them again in Europe summer 2010.

And how about the fact that the boys from Dublin will have two to three new albums out in 2010.

Can't wait.
See you in a bit.

PULL EM' UP

Pull up your boots, shoes, socks or whatever you have on your feet in celebration of the new U2 single "Get on your Boots," which was released to radio on January 19.

As always Dave Fanning at 2FM in Dublin was the first Dee-Jay to play the song. "Boots" could have fit on Zooropa or Pop as it's a dance song and rich with Moroccan influences. I love Bono's rapping and Larry's drums, which are "looping" throughout the song. One can even here a little Todd Rundgren influence on the single. "Get on your Boots" is now available on iTunes and U2.com.

Full track listing for "No Line on the Horizon" which drops March 3 is:

"No Line on the Horizon"
"Magnificent"
"Moment of Surrender"
"Unknown Caller"
"I'll Go Crazy If I Don't Go Crazy Tonight"
"Get On Your Boots"
"Stand Up Comedy"
"Fez — Being Born"
"White as Snow"
"Breathe"
"Cedars of Lebanon"
