I absolutely adore this track (see Current Music). It's easily the best thing off Pop, and it seems to be made entirely of earworms. Gonna be humming it for the rest of the day.

Easy to play, too!

Have you picked up the new edition of "Joshua Tree"?

I stopped buying new CDs some time ago; I now only buy either second-hand or independant artist discs. It's my little ninnyhammer protest, y'know? On top of which, I didn't even know there was a new Joshua Tree. Why would they bother doing such a silly thing?

Remastered, lots of B-sides, video for "Red Hill Mining Town", Bono needs new sunglasses. The usual.

Curiously, allmusic.com doesn't seem to know about it.

Weak. http://joshuatree.u2.com/

Reading reviews on Amazon, I find:

The 14-track bonus audio disc contains a number of b-sides and unused tracks from the period that have previously been available elsewhere, but have never been collected in one place before.

That bit I've bolded usually translates, in my mind, to "we've suckered you into paying for more copies of the same tunes". Which is pretty unlike U2, to be honest.

It's always been one of my favorite U2 tracks. I thought I was completely alone in this, too.
