Hmmm... love the Killers but worry when lead singers start doing solo projects, as it often pulls the band apart, delays albums, etc.? Brandon Flowers to Release Solo Album | Spin Magazine Online

Saw this today and the overly-dramatic headline made me laugh: Bono Becomes The Worst Investor In America – 24/7 Wall St.

Check out the image: Pitchfork: Watch the Strokes Recording New LP :wink: I can't really tell if this was Strokes-sanctioned, or just something that a Pitchfork design editor came up with. Either way, good stuff :applaud:

This song is awesome - it just dropped this morning... :drool: Thoughts? Yay or nay? YouTube - Happy Birthday Guadalupe (kind of hilarious that the video stars Luke Perry. In college, my housemates and I used to play the "Beverly Hills 90210 Drinking Game," and one of the rules was to take...

I've never liked Pitchfork.com, that haven for pretentious indie-rock music critics and their ilk, and it finally dawned on me today that no thread exists to make fun of that loathsome site. Well, I bequeath to you, this thread. A fun link to get things warmed up: Joe Colly's Review of Them...

Just got back from BestBuy, where I picked up a copy for only $11.99 - what a steal! :drool: 2 hr, 40 min concert DVD, plus a 78-minute live album. Widescreen, 5.1 sound. Gonna blast the bejeezus out of this thing when I get home. Sorry next-door neighbors! :wink: Anyone had a listen yet...

U2 is performing live on American television tonight, on NBC's 'Saturday Night Live.' Are we allowed to have a setlist party for a 2-3 song performance? Well I hope so! :wink: I also hope Megan Fox is indeed on tambourines tonight, as rumored, while Bono serenades her with "Ultraviolet" ...

It's always had the trademark elements of a U2 stadium anthem: a big chiming riff, soaring vocal, heartbreak-and-redemption lyrics, and a sing-along chorus. Is there REALLY a better song on this tour?! :drool: Appreciate! :applaud: :bow: ...and this might be my favorite live U2 clip from...

Okay, so this is a little random. I think it'd be cool to collect awesome video/youtube clips, of bands/artists, performing live, where the audience participates in call-response style. For example, the whoah-oh-oh-ohs during "Pride" at a U2 show. But, you get bonus points for non-U2 vids...

U2 has been highlighting Aung San Suu Kyi's plight each night on the current tour, and the band is asking fans to wear masks to the shows in support. Today Hillary Clinton put unprecedented pressure on Burma to address human rights violations and spoke in strong defense of Aung San Suu Kyi...

Any truth to the rumor that the soundtrack for the new Spiderman musical (done by Bono and Edge) will contain some cameo appearances by Bono's Fly alter ego? Please tell me this is true... :drool:

A friend who works at Tapulous, a start-up here in the Bay Area, just updated his Facebook status: "Bono just came into our office!" Perhaps Elevation Partners is going to invest? Gotta love whenever Bono rolls into town... might have to attend Glide Memorial Church in SF on Sunday just to see...

Promo copies of Magnificent have been printed and are being sent to radio -- let's get a radio request campaign going, to help get the song played and heard. :heart: Call or email any radio station that you'd like, and ask them to play the song. It may be smarter to target the "main" radio...

I'm not ready to blurt it out yet -- anyone else want to? You first!

Whoah, cool: ============================== Exclusive: 'Boring' Bono admits new U2 album needed a twist -Jan 10 2009, dailyrecord.co.uk -by Beverley Lyons and Laura Sutherland MANY people have been saying it for years, but we never thought we'd see the day Bono admitted he's even bored of...

Don't think I've ever heard this connection made before, so figured I'd post it. In "City of Blinding Lights," Bono sings, "I've seen you walk unafraid," and "Walk Unafraid" is the title of a song by R.E.M. Cool :D

Just a wild thought :hmm:
