  1. It's quite ironic that last week Music 'Critic' Jim Carroll writing in the Irish Times (the other major newspaper in Ireland) suggested the opposite to Brendan O'Connor, he reckoned that U2 should just accept that the creative well has dried up and become the new Rolling Stones and just do greatest hits tours or the festival circuit. That's the way it is here, everybody has an opinion on U2.

    Whatever your opinion on directions, etc. the bottom line is that U2 need to start recording and releasing music of a high calibre again. It's been too long. O'Connor is right in saying that the stakes have been raised for the next release. Also, in the meantime unless they are stockpiling songs or saving them for movies, they should set up a soundcloud account or whatever and make some tracks available to fans for download.


  2. Edge: "hey little fellow, whats your name?"
    Rat: "my name is Mouse, DangerMouse"
    Edge: "are you really going to help us in our studio-kitchen?"
    Rat: "that's what I'm here for.... I'm giving you the receipe for a tasty new album in 2013!"
    Edge: "I'm salivating already, can you help us back on our feet please, we want the Michelincritics to like our U2 dish.... we're pretty desperate..."

  8. Bono and Edge will be on Letterman tonight:

    If you're planning to tune in tonight to see Bono & The Edge talk to David Letterman on The Late Show, you won't be disappointed. They're the only interview guests on the show and spend two full segments with Dave talking about the U2 360 tour, Bono's injury and, of course, the Spider-Man: Turn Off The Dark production.

    But according to a friend of ours that attended the taping, there's also a nice surprise: an acoustic performance of "Stuck In A Moment You Can't Get Out Of." It happened during a conversation about songwriting, when Edge suddenly reached behind his chair and grabbed an acoustic guitar so the two of them could sing the song. Bono explained to Dave that the song was written about late INXS frontman Michael Hutchence -- and also admitted that Adam called it a "sissy song." After Bono & Edge wrapped up their chat with Dave, the Spider-Man cast came out and performed "A Freak Like Me Needs Company" during the show's final segment.

    The Late Show with David Letterman airs on CBS stations at 11:35 pm ET/PT. Thx to Suzy for the report from inside the Sullivan Theatre!

  9. Letterman just starting now on the East Coast in the US. Interested to hear what they'll have to say about the tour, future, and Spidey. Excited for the acoustic Stuck (as excited as I can be at least) and the Spidey song
