Bono on today’s release of Songs of Ash:

The songs on Days of Ash are very different in mood and theme to the ones we’re going to put on our album later in the year. These EP tracks couldn’t wait; these songs were impatient to be out in the world. They are songs of defiance and dismay…

Always happy for new U2 songs. Listening now. 🎶

@manton American Obituary made me cry.

@manton Thanks for sharing this. I like U2 a lot and will definitely buy* this one. As an aside, the fact that they have a sort of blog on their website to share news about the band, made me happy.

• I don’t pay for streaming. I by CDs or music with no DRM to listen to it on my iPod 😊

@vladcampos I sometimes want to go back to just buying music. It was simpler.

@manton People say it’s the best way to support artists. Not sure if this is really true, but it’s still possible to buy DRM-free music on iTunes and even synchronize it with the iPod like we were used to doing back then. Which blows my mind. Anyway, I just got the album for €5.99 😉
