SPOT EDITORS OF U2LOG
Dutch photographer Lex van Rossen’s website contains just one picture. It’s a well known shot, but perhaps you’ve never seen it. Enjoy. It was taken in Rotterdam in ’87.
Lex van Rossen also took the fabulous cover shot of Chris Isaak’s Heart Shaped World and the cover shot of the book ‘Gavin Friday – the Light and Dark’.
MYSTERIOUS BRITS
Alberto from Spain offers the Mysterious Ways mp3 from the Brit Awards.
[ update: the zip file seems to be corrupt, we're waiting for Alberto to post a working file ]
MORE VIDEO
Thomas and Trabbie put up more Brit stuff at U2star.com. Watch the intro, best international group, One, Beautiful Day and Until the End of the World in real video.
ALWAYS IN FOR FREE PORTER
One of U2′s classiest covers can be downloaded for free from Amazon.com: Cole Porter’s Night and Day.
Alternatively, buy the great Red Hot and Blue album this song was featured on.
Or start shopping in the new U2.com shop. Which, thank heavens, is outside their main frameset. (It would be nice if they set up a European branch… so we don’t have to pay $15.00 on top of a 12.99 t-shirt. We ordered… but had to cancel. We’ll make an exception if they release Unforgettable Fire t-shirts…)
Full version of Beautiful Day
We’ve just heard the rumour that the full version of Beautiful Day can now be downloaded from Napster.
Being the nosy type of blog, we dug in and searched and downloaded and downloaded. However, we have only been able to find fakes. Mostly copies of ‘One’ renamed.
Can’t say we didn’t try, but we are beginning to believe we’ve been had.

- 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 […]
