Possible new song titles are starting to surface around the traps. The folk over at youtwo.net mention that the new single may be called “Electric Storm”, as reported in a Sydney newspaper. Whilst @U2 mention further titles such as ‘All Because Of You” and “Origin of the Species.”

Word from The Edge
One of U2log.com’s editors spoke to The Edge and Bono outside U2’s studio in Dublin today. Asked how recording was going The Edge answered the band has ‘so many new tunes’ a new record could be made out of it.

The Edge continued stating they ‘just didn’t have the time’ for that, because ‘the record company wants a record for Christmas (probably the single release), they’re doing the Greatest Hits with two new songs, and (and he seemed most excited about this) they are remixing the Pop album.
Bono added that the band is pressed for time and close to missing deadlines.

WHERE’S YOUR HAIR AT?
You may have already heard around the traps that Coldplay lead singer, Chris Martin, has suggested that the B’man has had transplants to cover up a thinning hairline. Dismissed as nonsense by a spokesperson for Bono, we can now reveal the truth via Bono’s own testimonial on hair replacement…..
