Sh!t a Brick!

I’m in mourning. The BBC News has reported this morning that the new, highly anticipated U2 album, rumoured to be released in November, won’t be released until the New Year. Hellfire! I was SSSOOO looking forward to that. Now it seems all the new albums from artists I love are all coming out in 2009, goddamit!

That puts U2, Franz Ferdinand and Antony and The Johnson’s albums all into next year.

It doesn’t make a U2 tour kicking off in 2009 very plausible either. I only really have had two “before you die” events that I wanted to strike off in my life. One was seeing David Bowie live, which I did in 2002 at the Manchester Move music festival. The other is to see U2 live. Something which looks unlikely to happen until 2010 at the earliest now.

Sometimes being a music fan sucks!
