I'm no longer the U2 super-fan I used to be (in fact, I've been rather turned off by their recent albums), but I have to give props for this video.  It's great.  Apparently they got over 200 clearances for the footage used?  While that sort of thing sucks and highlights exactly what's wrong copyright today, at the same time it's good to see people looking at the creative possibilities that being one of the richest bands in the world can afford.
    

What albums are in heavy rotation for you right now?

• Basement Jaxx - Crazy Itch Radio - this album is, how you say, "bangin"
• Spoon - SXSW 2006 performance - not an album per se, but soundboards from the show - acoustic "I Summon You" and "Me and the Bean"  *squee!*
  
• Shout Out Louds - Combine EP - I can't stop listening to the Ratatat remix of The Comeback
• The Hush Sound - Like Vines - cavity-inducing, mind-worming poprocks
  

I'm just getting around to sinking my teeth into the new Eric Bachmann (which is amazing) and the new M. Ward (also quite good).
