11. U2 - The Joshua Tree (1987) I took this album very, very seriously. U2 were a “serious” band. I remember talking to a mate of mine about coloured vinyl and him saying that even if records were available in a variety of colours, U2 would still choose there's to be sombre black. Even the paper the LPs came in was matte in a time when everyone else was gloss. Bongo and the boys look sombre,...

Hello from Las Vegas!!! I'm having a great time in Sin City but you know what? I hated Vegas the first time I ever visited. The only explanation I can come up with was that I was overwhelmed by the tackiness and grandness of it all. Vegas has definitely grown on me. It is still tacky, but it is also a lively and fun city.
