Bono likes iLike: U2 release new song on the new social music web site
In advance of next week's 20th anniversary reissue of Joshua Tree, U2 has released a video preview of Wave of Sorrow, a previously unreleased track from the album's recording session which will appear on the reissue.
But the exclusive preview wasn't released through U2's web site or on MySpace or YouTube, which would be considered the more likely channels. Rather, the exclusive clip, which features Bono singing over his original 1987 vocals, was posted on the relatively new web site iLike, a "social music discovery service", which lets users download via iTunes and recommend music to other members.
Valleywag has the back story of how Bono's business connections brought the song to iLike.
Here is a video of Bono talking about the song and singing it:
