U2 Album Coming Out In October, Or On New Year’s Day, Or At Some Other Undetermined Date
2:00 AM on Thu Sep 4 2008 by rtelfairm
Because I’m assisting our Idolators from a location far from the shmancy “Mac” computers at the Idolator flophouse, I don’t have access to the macro that brings up the “the next album from [blank artist] has been delayed until [blank date]” template for quick-posting. So I guess I’ll just have to write this up by hand: According to Bono, the next U2 album–previously scheduled for release later this year, and a major component of UMG’s 2008Q4 business plan–has been delayed to some vague date in “early 2009″.

Bono Clearly Needs To Move Somewhere A Little More Remote
2:45 AM on Mon Aug 18 2008 by Maura
Over the weekend, some enterprising U2 fan decided to sit outside Bono’s beach house in the south of France–not because he wanted to stalk the philanthropic frontman, but because dude was giving the immediate area near his house a listening party of sorts, blaring material from his band’s new… More »
Online Petitioners Still Haven’t Found What They’re Looking For

If you dislike Bono, it’s probably for one or more of the following reasons: 1) he writes epic, yet somehow quite boring music; 2) that heinous iPod commercial; 3) he (allegedly) misrepresents Africa in his (allegedly) misguided attempts at AIDS relief. If you subscribe to the latter, there’s now an online petition pledging “a ton of money to fight AIDS” if–and only if–Bono retires from public life.

Bono Backs Away From Manager’s Radiohead-Bashing Ways
9:30 AM on Mon Jun 30 2008 by anthonyjmiccio
Like U2’s manager, Paul McGuinness, Bono firmly believes that all problems can be solved by haranguing people in power and pleading for charitable donations, rather than actually changing economic models. But one thing Bono won’t do is dis Radiohead, one of the few successful bands with any critical cachet whatsoever. So when McGuinness decided to call the Internet release of In Rainbows a failure, Bono felt it necessary to send a letter to NME making clear that while their manager doesn’t want the RIAA to consider these upstarts’ hair-brained schemes, U2 thinks the band are “courageous and imaginative,” etc., smooch smooch, let’s photo op with Barack sometime.

Jessica Simpson Is Country Now, Y’all!
12:30 PM on Wed May 28 2008 by anthonyjmiccio
Jessica Simpson’s always been a bit of Daisy Duke (yes that is ZZ Top with her above), but it’s still a little surprising to hear her abandoning pop, twanging up her voice and surrounding it with steel guitars on her new single, “Come On Over” (gee, that title seems oddly familiar). The song is blandly competent, but I just can’t get over the opening line, “Leave your dishes in the sink/ leave your ice cubes in your drink/ just come on over. Leave my ice cubes in my drink? As opposed to where, my nipples?
