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).
U2log Podcast Episode 003 Better Late Than Never
A week late but like most U2 albums, worth the wait – U2log podcast episode 3 is ready and waiting for you to come and say hello. It’s all Magnificent, all the time. We also stop in with George Clooney and The Edge in Malibu.
U2log Podcast Now Ready for Sampling
With the new album out, the upcoming tour, the possibility of another new album this year and Paul McGuinness single handedly saving the record industry from pirates (*cough*) what you really need is two guys named Christopher telling you their thoughts on what’s going on in the world of U2.
