Smack them Irish boys up

Buy U2, feel good
U2 items are being auctioned off for Amnesty International in a combined AI/fans effort. Get those ‘U2 best of’ promotional dogtags!
I think they’re pushing it
I think they’re pushing it a bit with the ‘domestic’ feel of the album. Songs about female, um, hygiene products?
Bon Jovi of course, started the copycatting with their ‘Keep the Faith’ adventure.
Bono Jovi?
Always and Summer Rain. Is covering Bon Jovi and Belinda Carlisle tracks a sign U2 is in decline?

Chastised
From our mailbox: “Your site is has an amazing design (much better than U2.com), but… IT HAS ERRORS IN NETSCAPE!!!”. Yes, it’s true, we buggered up. Netscape users will notice a problem in the bottom right hand corner of the page. We will work on the issue. [ should be resolved now ]
In the meantime, here’s more mail: “Guys lets rock it. I hope your new album turney will be a big one. That would be my first U2 concert with my favorite band. Believe in you, you can do it. You can do everything.”
And also: “Make it bigger please :-)”
Elsewhere in their mag, Rolling
Elsewhere in their mag, Rolling Stone call the single snippet a ‘throwback to the band’s pre-Achtung Baby days. Really Randoms: DMX, U2
Rolling Stone reports: U2 Stirring
Rolling Stone reports: U2 Stirring Their Souls in the Studio. “Sometimes you dream one up, and sometimes you find one on the floor.”
The cam is gone
The cam feeds from U2.com have died – time in the studio is up. This means U2log.com will shift gear. What gear, we don’t know yet – but there’ll be a lot to speculate about until the album is released, so keep an eye on things here.
For those with a webcam fixation, there’s always Big Brother.
