U2log Podcast Episode #005 Now Available

We’re back with another episode of the illustrious U2log podcast!

Click here to jump right to the podcast or read on for a summary of why you might not want to click the link:

In this episode we catch up after a long hiatus from recording and find that Chris and Christopher are a little rusty in the ways of the podcast. But we did manage to chat a bit about the European tour wrapping up, the North American tour kicking off, Christopher’s plans to attend a concert, U2’s appearance on Sat­urday Night Live and Gavin Friday’s birthday bash (that’s the section to listen for the sound of Chris getting fired by Caroline — it’s Gavin’s 50th birthday naturally).

U2 kick off new season of Saturday Night Live

U2 played four songs on the Megan Fox hosted Saturday Night Live season premiere last night, three of which were broadcast: Breathe, Moment of Surrender and Ultraviolet. The fourth song, With or Without you, was played after the credits – high five to the band for not mollycoddling the viewers at home. Moment of Surrender was a little shorter than normal and spiced up with some New York/SNL-inspired free form rap.

    The third set of results from the 2012 U2 Fan Survey is now available, and it takes us through your votes on U2's albums and songs. As a reminder, the survey was open from April 5th through April 30th. We received completed responses from 3,530 fans in 79 countries this year, both of which are down from 2010.

  • The Resource Miracle May 22, 2012
    [Note: This essay appeared in the May 28, 2012, edition of TIME magazine.] It's become the go-to cliché of modern economics. Natural resources are a "curse." When a nation is over-reliant on one or two commodities like oil or precious minerals, corrupt government ministers and their dodgy associates hoard profits and taxes instead of properly […]
