U2 Latest News

Policy: Trademark Headwear Needed
QUICK: name me an Irish band that isn’t U2. Hard, isn’t it? It’s not that Ireland doesn’t have a rich and rewarding rock music history – oodles of excellent bands have tumbled forth from Eire – it’s just that Bono and his ageing chums cruelly overshadow almost every single one of them. Thus, I’m pinning the Hopes Of A Nation...
Memes that went viral b4 the internet
I can’t imagine how memes ‘went viral’ b4 the internet created an incubator in which 2 spread. How was the whole world able to rally behind an Xmas wish 4 ppl who aren’t educated enough to ‘get’ the concept of Christmas? Weird 2 see old memes/people like Bono, Sting, Boy George, Steve Aoki, Ronald Reagan, and other vintage musical celebs who turned into...

Animal Collective is a Band Created By/For/On the Internet
This is a post about Animal Collective I listen to the Animal Collectives on a weekly basis. I think I ‘like’ them because they are differentiated from ‘traditional music’ and ‘modern indie music.’ When I listen to them, I exist on a higher plane of musical appreciation and consume products for ‘all the right reasons.’ For the past couple...
The Daily Graboid
Lots of great stuff this week, as the new album Middle Cyclone from Neko Case certainly comes out on top with having both excellent songs and equally good cover art.  Honestly, she could release an album of her just reading from a phone book and I would probably buy it.  I’m sure we can all agree on this one. A couple of other albums that I would personally recommend have...
