Hope this is the right place to post this... Check out this awesome video shot this week from the International Space Station by Ron Garan. Actually not a video, but a time lapse of HD photos of the earth from the ISS (Europe to the Indian Ocean) with Peter Gabriel providing the sounds. It is...

Check it out. This evening Monday April 4 (at 6:18 pm), a genuine U2 fan is launching from Kazakhstan, on a Russian Soyuz rocket, for six months on the International Space Station. NASA astronaut Ron Garan is a genuine fan. On his last space shuttle mission (STS 124), in 2008, among the...

After his being delayed by his recovery from a rather bad motorcycle accident this year, Daniel Lanois' new band "Black Dub" is finally being released November 2. But you can pre-order now (and comes with automatic free download of three songs). They are also doing a short US tour of some...

Oh boy. I really don't know what to make of this. I'll bet this isn't happening in Iran though. (link below posted from iPhone...hope it works) Boy-Girls Gone Wild! Trans Women Go Topless on Del. Beach | NBC Philadelphia

I've never posted in this forum before. I'm not very techie. Here is my sad story. My PC (Dell) completely croaked several weeks ago. Not sure what happened exactly, but clear it was a total catastrophic failure. I brought the computer to the local repair guy. He asked me what kind of...

I know this is an odd topic for a music forum, but this this TV commercial touches me. We all know Capt "Sully" Sullenberger as the pilot who landed the jet in the Hudson River. He's kept a very low profile since, and hasn't "cashed in" like you would expect most people would do (although I'm...

This story is one that will generate some passionate discussion I'm sure (in the US at least) From TMZ.com.... Report: Rush Limbaugh Hospitalized in Hawaii Posted Dec 30th 2009 9:46PM by TMZ Staff Rush Limbaugh has been hospitalized in Hawaii after suffering chest pains -- this according to...

Catholic Church & US Republican Party torch big tent and rebuild from obedient ranks Does God Hate the Kennedys? - Page 1 - The Daily Beast The story in the above link doesn't really match the title of this thread, but it is a worthwhile read. The linked article just reiterates what has been...

Don't know how, why, or for how long, but it's true. It's on a site called BlueBeat.com (never heard of them before). Yeah U2's collection is on there too. I just read about it in an article on ABCnews.com. I'd paste the link to that article here, but I'm posting this from an iPhone and...

"City of Blinding Lights" at O'Inauguration sealed "Streets" fate on next tour Personal opinion obviously but... I'm betting that this band would very much like to get past needing "Where the Streets Have No Name" in their live set for the first time since 1987. This song has brought the...

I'll bet it's not fun planning the size and expense of a massive stage show, and the dimensions of a world tour right now (given the worldwide economic downturn). The big question will be ticket prices I suppose. If these were ordinary times, there would be no reason to doubt that U2 could...

If you haven't done so, you ought to download this free podcast of Radiohead's final show on their recent US tour (Santa Barbara, California). I've posted a link to the "Radiohead At Ease" site. That should link you to the appropriate NPR (National Public Radio) site for the "All Songs...

I don't start many threads, but this one was too good to let go. Almost fell out of my chair laughing on this one... YouTube - George W. Bush & John McCain=My Buddy™ and ME!

This is just heartbreaking and infuriating (but you should watch it) I didn't know where to post this. So, I'm putting it here. This video leaves me speechless. I can't believe it's the 21st century and someone has to live like this. I can't think of anything else worthwhile to say. It's a...

Mein Gott! Wo ist Herr Brau?!

I went to the Pogues show at the Electric Factory (Philadelphia) on 3/13/08. It was my first time seeing the Pogues (though I've been a fan since my friend introduced me to it in college). I first heard the Pogues when my friend gave me the "If I Should Fall from Grace with God" CD on the...

Shane MacGowan (from the Pogues) has never been the poster boy for good health and clean living. However, I just watched that compilation video of "Here's to You Ronnie Drew" on U2.com. Shane can be seen throughout it, and frankly I don't think he can possibly have that much time left among...

Unbelievable but true: Bush made "democracy" and "freedom" sound like dirty wor Our country is so much better than this clown.

I have an extra ticket for tomorrow's presentation of the Liberty Medal to Bono (at the National Constitution Center in Philadelphia). I have two tickets, but because of sudden/unexpected family issues, one of the tickets is now available. So, if you are interested, I'll give it (free...

You. The person who is screeching and squealing through much of my "Hasta La Vista, Baby!" CD. Step forward for a severe thrashing. You know who you are. Your offense is most pronounced during "Please". Gggrrrrr!!

Is John Mayer's "Waiting on the world to change" U2's "Stuck" only w/diff words? Driving in my car today I heard a new song on the radio while scanning through the stations. I stopped on a rather soulful tune that, although I'd never heard it before, sounded like I'd known it for years. It was...

Happy Thanksgiving all. There is much to be thankful for. I don't intend to cast a shadow on what is perhaps the best holiday of the year, but this poem by William S. Burroughs is worth knowing (even for the sake of historic perspective). It is bound to upset and offend some, but this man has...

What was the "Killers" song that was played just before the Vertigo show started? Can anyone tell me what the name of the "Killers" song was that was played over the P.A. a few songs before the Vertigo show started? I'm looking for some new music to download (legally, of course) and I think I...

I wonder what (if anything) U2.com can offer as incentive for renewing subscriptions For most of the paid-up members of the U2.com world, it will soon be time to dig deep in the pockets and come up with the money to renew the annual subscription. I wonder what U2.com can consider offering (if...
