A big thank you to the U2Fam on twitter who gave us stuff to chat about. Songs on SOS that could be at the Sphere. SOS songs potentially replace the original. Why Two Hearts Beat at One and The Fly are amazing. All things Adam, including his garden. What our new (currently hypothetical) show on U2X should be called.

Oh me, oh my it has been a busy few days in the U2 world. We unbox Songs of Surrender while simultaneously review A Sort of Homecoming. There's also NPR's Tiny Desk, U2X content, Apple One and goodness knows what else we reference. This is not a review of SOS. This is a gut reaction, a discussion, a discovery. We hope you come along for the ride. We've got plenty of questions for Bono over whiskey and cake and a report from the ground of one of the 40 Songs in 40 Cities promotions. (Thank you

Answering the question, what songs are we most excited to hear reimagined? We tasked each other with picking two songs from each record to be most excited about. 8 out of 40. Sometimes it was easy, other times it wasn't. We hope you'll listen and play along.
