HAPPY BIRTHDAY, MR LAWRENCE To

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, MR LAWRENCE
To celebrate the drummer boy’s birthday, here’s a rare shot of him at work.

Taken by E.S. at a Boston fan press conference the date of which escapes us at the moment.

FARMCLUB Lots of readers are

FARMCLUB
Lots of readers are asking for Farmclub mp3s, but we haven’t got them. Yet. In the meantime, we can offer you ‘Bad‘ from that session, in Real Audio. Not bad at all.

You can also go to Farmclub, join up, click ‘watch’, choose U2 from the dropdown menu and see the entire performance and interviews in Real Video.

And while we’re multi tasking, why not read the AOL chat transcript as well?

This just in: more links to Farmclub stuff:
1, 2, 3, 4

U2.com DISCUSSION Over at community

U2.com DISCUSSION
Over at community blog “Metafilter” there’s a discussion going on regarding the new U2.com. For those of you who don’t know, k10k.net and Kioken are highly regarded in webdesign circles, and much imitated. We have lost count of the sites who ripped off the famous k10k buttons. We do think ‘Magic Minds’ who seem to have designed the U2.com site were, let’s say, ‘influenced’ by these two cutting edge design megas. And that’s not cool. Not that we here at U2log.com are particularly innovative when it comes to our look – which is of course highly derivative of U2’s current promo art work. But we think that if U2 are paying people to build their site they deserve something original. Otherwise we’re happy with U2.com. At least its there!

RACE AGAINST TIME Netscape users

RACE AGAINST TIME
Netscape users may have noticed some odd looking design on these pages. Fear not, the problems have now been solved.

This means we managed to beat U2.com to solving Netscape related aggro. If you want to see the new U2.com site with Netscape (and we know you want to!) – you will have to use this backdoor entry to the site. You won’t be able to see the Flash intro, which is.. um, flashy, and intro-ey.

(If you try surfing to www.U2.com you will be redirected to mini.U2.com and see the old ‘temporary’ site. If you try it without the www, just U2.com… you won’t see anything.)

Tip: Netscape users who want to see the Flash intro anyway can try downloading it here and play it from your harddisk.
