When are people going to to understand (and the press should know this) that 10 reasons exsist is about as likely to be the title of the next album as The current Rolling Stones tour being their final one! Come on The Sun, give us some real news as opposed to something that was said and reported all over the place months ago.

Fortunately, I've got a new lightning-fast laptop and I'm ready for U2 to release their next album (see how my over-zealous intro was related to the topic at hand). From what I've been reading, it seems like the timeline is new album in 2013, tour in 2014. If this happens, my prediction will have been right on. Do we have any more specific details regarding the progress of the album?

Welcome back anyway

If you're a fan of legendary rocks bands such as AC/DC, U2, and Metallica, to name but just a few, do we have a collector's item for you.

Our spies tell us that the legendary Irish recording studio, Windmill Lane, will start destroying a pile of original master tapes featuring famous songs by even more famous artists. Among the tapes are such rarities as an early version of AC/DC’s Thunderstruck, or Metallica performing with Marianne Faithfull.

Of course, if rock 'aint your thing, there's also Spice Girl demo tapes, early Riverdance demos, film music by composer Michael Nyman and soundtracks from films including Michael Collins, The Commitments, The Mask and The Talented Mr Ripley.

Reports suggest the tapes weigh a tonne, and are clogging up much needed attic space in the new Windmill Lane studios, in Ringsend. Hence the May deadline to get rid of them.

Admittedly, most of these tapes are demos, and are apparently of questionable quality. Still, for the AC/DC fan in your life who has everything, how could you go wrong with a master tape featuring an early version of Thunderstruck? We ask you.

A full list of acts who recorded at the studios can be seen at the Windmill Lane website.
