Tidbits: Finals Week, 'U2ube,' NEED

Finals are this week. There's this shimmering light in the distance...It's. So. Beautiful. I think it's the light at the end of the tunnel. ;-)

U2 is promoting their new album U218 Singles on YouTube (I'm sure this has been done... or "U2ube" as I've labeled the bookmark in my browser.) The video for Window in the Skies is mesmerizing. The video syncs the audio/lyrics from the song with an amazing selection of videos from muscial history so that it looks like the people on the video are singing and dancing to this new song. Pretty amazing, I thought. There's even a shot of The Edge in the audience of some concert chillin' out. Check it out:

Also, I received my copies of NEED magazine. Wow. It's a page turner. I can't remember the last time I sat down with a publication of any kind and read it cover to cover. This is a must-read. Seriously. Go get your subscription. If anyone (local to me) wants to take a peek, let me know. I'm happy to share. I got The Dadoo a gift subscription. I called him today to tell him to expect it and that I wanted to wrap it up for him. But he said he already had received it and had immediately opened it and read it cover-to-cover. If you want a preview of the next issue, here's a link to a PDF of their current newsletter.

Happy December 19th.
