Thank you Enrique, we’re confident the new album will be hotter than July.
You Too’ve got mail
In our mailbox this week, Vanessa says ‘I loooooooove U2′, Holiee goes: In the background there is someone! awww now thats dedication….at 3am in the morning on a sunday (!?!) and Tore ponders: Nice site! Check mine out as well, maybe not so good as yours!. To close off, Humbird praises: What a great site….I really enjoying watching it all….keep up the good work….the same as the boys are doing…I’m sure of that!
Keep ‘m coming.
Mundane desperados?
As a non musician (I sing, I play guitar, I used to play the piano – but none in any sort of professional way) ‘the studio’, ‘recording an album’ is something magical to me and I’ve always liked to keep it that way. Once in a blue moon you get to read an interview with a musician in ‘Sound on Sound’ or some similar geek muso glossy, and it ruins the layman’s experience of music. ‘Oh yeah, we had this bass groove lying around and we were jamming and got that on tape and then I improvised some lyrics over it… hey presto, our new single’. Ugh. I don’t want that! I want to hear about divine inspiration, no more, no less.
Referrer woe
We interrupt this broadcast with a message for a sad bastard.
Can the person spamming our referrers with their pathetic porn zip file, shove said zip up their hole? I believe ‘how-to’ instructions can be found inside the file.

- 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 […]
