What is it with the U2 overload lately? Actually, I find it kind of ticklesome that you don't already own 'The Joshua Tree' or 'War!'

I have long had The Joshua Tree on vinyl. More generally, U2 have a new album out, and are selling tickets for stadium concerts here, and that always puts their back catalogue in people's minds.

You should see the Pinefox on Facebook, he is listening to ALL of U2's previous albums now.

Yes, that's who I was referring to!

I think U2's show here sold out in about 5 minutes and then they added another one.

Why the hell am I talking about U2?!

are you on facebook now?

Not yet, my friend. I'm holding out like some sort of fogey. I'm on last.fm, though.
