Linear

I just bought the new U2 album 'No Line on the Horizon' - Deluxe edition from itunes. It was released worldwide this week. It sure lives up to U2's standards and comes with a 58minute video with their feature 'Linear'. It's a biker's paradise, I haven't even finished watching it all and it has already taken me to another place... speaking of bikes, I just passed my restricted motorcycle licence. Stoked I can now ride on the motorways legally, what a good feeling.

diamonds

I just watched the music video to a kanye west tune I've got on cd and its pretty powerful - watch Diamonds from Sierra Leone on youtube . Its on a similar theme to the film that came out last year - Blood Diamond. If you haven't seen that movie it's a must, great acting and so real it will cut you.

I haven't been blogging much lately. Not that I haven't had stuff to blog on because I've been having a pretty adventurous life lately... lots of fun in the snow and up mountains. I will post some more photos soon. Peace out.

Tuesday afternoon

I'm liking Daughtry today:

U2 rocking Auckland

Wow. U2 blew me over. What a powerful, spiritual experience friday night was. Mt Smart at Ericson stadium in Auckland, Aotearoa was host to the band of the century all the way from Ireland. My group managed to get into the front section where we stood about 3 metres from the stage where the Edge was playing. I loved the way the band made their own songs local by changing words to talk about Auckland, Aotearoa and Cape Reinga to the Fiords. Bono you're awesome! You can share the experience and watch 'One Tree Hill' from the concert courtesy of You Tube, note the koru patterns on the background screens.

Kanye West was pumping too but the crowd reception for him was disappointing, maybe I can go see him in New York one day with a crowd that admires him more!

counting down to vertigo

5 days to go until the band of the century play at Ericson stadium and I am AMPING! As we try our best at guessing what the playlist will look like I'm wondering what the queue into the stadium for General Admission Tickets is going to look like, there's a lot of space on a rugby field that big, I could be standing 5 metres away or 50. Anyhow, wherever I'm standing with a bunch of friends this is going to be the concert of the year by miles.
One thing that horrified me is that the official U2 website lists Auckland as being in Australia in their veritgo tour dates! Whats up with that? Anyhow... Peace and Love my readers.
