I'm feeling ever so slightly bored, so I figured it was time for another blog post.

So far this summer holiday I have:

• rolled down a hill
• tweeted 536 538 times
• posted a lot on tumblr (139 posts in August alone)
• rediscovered my love for Animal Crossing
• celebrated my sister's birthday
• listened to "2 In The Morning" by New Kids On The Block at 2am 5 times
• blown up 5 balloons
• read "To Kill A Mockingbird"
• consumed 32 toasted cheese sandwiches
• written 21 diary entries
• admitted my Joe girl tendencies (to myself, at least...)

Here's to the rest of summer!

Achtung Baby: All Grown Up

Yay! U2 have finally announced the release date for the hotly anticipated remastered re-release of it's (in my opinion) greatest work to date: Achtung Baby! The 31st October 2011 is the date set, which coincides with drummer Larry Mullen Jr.'s 50th birthday, and is just short of 20 years since the original album first hit the shelves on the 19th November 1991. The remaster is available in 4 physical editions as well as download, ranging from the standard CD with a provisional RRP of £13.20, to a limited edition Über Deluxe box set containing the original album, sister album Zooropa and 4 other CDs (presumably containing a lot of B-sides, reworkings and demos); 4 DVDs including Zoo TV: Live from Sydney and a new documentary about Achtung Baby titled "From The Sky Down"; a pair of Fly Shades; an 84-page hardback book; a sticker sheet; art prints and more, but it comes at a very hefty price: Amazon UK shows an estimated cost of £385.99. Other formats include the album with a bonus disc (for around £16), and the 6 CDs, 4 DVDs, a 92-page book and 16 art prints (£105.99).

Are you excited about the anniversary release of Achtung Baby? Will you be purchasing it when the time comes? If so, which version takes your fancy?
