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

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).
[SPOILERS] Rehearsal video’s from outside Camp Nou
Again, don’t listen to these rehearsal video’s if you don’t want to be spoiled for U2′s tour.
Walmart posts previews of U2′s No Line on the Horizon
We got the heads up from U2tour.de via Twitter: Walmart online has posted previews of all the tracks on No Line on the Horizon.
Update 02/08: Walmart has taken down all the previews, except ‘Boots’.
It’s always hard to tell from random 30-second clips, but early favourites for me are: the title track, Moment of Surrender, Cedars of Lebanon and Fez-Being Born. YMMV.
What are you waiting for? Have a listen and let us know what you think.
A blast from the past
We at U2log.com are once again excited to bring our readers some goodies to keep you company through the holiday season and into the new year.
This year we are happy to share with you a rare gem from our 1/4″ reel tape vault; radio ads announcing the upcoming release of Achtung Baby. One cannot help but to wonder what the media onslaught will look like next year as the boys get ready for the release of the next album.
This download (bittorrent) will be available for a limited time only.
Happy Holidays!
Permanent Hiatus
