Check out the older Camille albums, especially 'Le Fil'. Way better than her record from last year.

The new U2 single probably deserves its own post. Maybe I'll start one tomorrow. Is there a video for it yet?

Cool - thanks for the rec on Camille!

The U2 video is supposed to premiere, oddly enough, on an Irish newspaper's web site this Friday. There have been some images posted online that have since been removed (I think), and they look very pop-art, very bright, loud and interesting.

I'm new to the community and am unsure how U2 goes over here. I've been a fan forever and am used to sighing, rolling my eyes and doing a lot of knee-jerk defense online since I see them get bashed so much. it's my weakness. Ha! ;-)

U2 (or Bono anyway) attracts a fair bit of derision here too - although I believe the majority secretly love one or more of their songs. See the U2 canon thread (http://community.livejournal.com/poptimists/343984.html) from a couple of years back for more.

A thread for the new single on Friday, then? Once the video's available? I imagine it will find its way to YouTube quickly. If nothing else, I anticipate the lyrics will be a "talking point".
