Dear U2

I need that new album now. 
I don't care if it's not the-best-one-ever-made-by-the-best-band-in-the-world. 
I don't bother if it's not that good, if the riffs sound the same, if Bono's voice goes wrong.
I don't even mind if it's terrible, boring and like a big effort to sound new.
Just, please, release this record right away.

I feel lonely and lost, stuck in a endless writer's block. 
I need hope, inspiration, sunshine and good vibes.
I need to put your CD on repeat and dance around my place in the middle of the day.
I need a easy line that I can sing over and over, I need a smile on my face.
I need that guy with a white flag. (Or better, that hot guy in leather and sunglasses)
I need to feel at home, to believe again.
I need my old friends.
I need you.

Top 5 on Friday

Wow last Friday of the year! Are you in 2012 already or holding every single piece of moment left from 2011? 
Today The Music Memoirs brought us the

Top 5 musical things you wanted to get for Christmas but didn't

I really wasn't expecting and didn't get anything musical for Christmas. In fact, I'm too old to ask for things. I should be having kids and denying them expensive presents by now..

But if I'd have money or if someone would like to give me a treat, it would be nice to get

1. Achtung Baby Über Deluxe Box Set

2. Ten Collector's Edition

3. A nice vinyl player

4. Love is a mix tape: life and loss, one song at a time

(I've been dying to read this book but I still couldn't get it. It will definitely happen this year)

5. John Lennon People for Peace Poster

(One like this costs only $0.08 at Amazon! But the shipping costs to this country are totally absurd. That's a shame...)

The dream is over

Estava imaginando que o valor da caixa über deluxe em comemoração aos 20 anos do Achtung Baby seria mesmo cara, mas um pedaço dentro de mim sonhava para que não fosse tãaaao cara.

Hoje recebo um email da Amazon confirmando os meus temores: US$659!

O pior é receber essa notícia no mesmo dia em que foi anunciado o lucro de uma das empresas do Bono só com investimentos no Facebook: US$950 milhões! Mi-lhões.

Foda, não?
