Book Review: ‘Rock On: An Office Power Ballad’ by Dan Kennedy
By Jennifer B. Kaufman
May 09, 2008
Described as a cross between the TV show The Office and the mock documentary This is Spinal Tap, Rock On: An Office Power Ballad by Dan Kennedy seemed right up my alley. Always interested in the music business, I picked up this memoir with some high expectations. In 2002, Dan Kennedy got a dream job with a major record label. A huge music fan since ... Read More
Rock Legends and a Little Rain Fill Memphis in May
By Landin King
May 06, 2008
Welcome to the home of the blues and the annual Memphis in May Beale Street Music Festival. Offering a first-rate soaking of rain and some encouraging tornado warnings, this three-day festival got off to a wild, wet, and wonderful start. With a wide array of acts, no set demographic of people comes out for The Beale Street Music Festival. Bands from every decade bring a different g... Read More
Review: All about the Cape—Ghostland Observatory Haunts Mezzanine, S.F., 4/17
By Luke Pimentel
April 26, 2008
I gave up my clubbing days a while back, owing to the fact that I was rapidly and inevitably approaching the dreaded Three-Ought, and was therefore no longer allowed to do any “real” partying. So, as I ventured into the claustrophobic confines of San Francisco’s Mezzanine on April 17th, milking a watered-down vodka tonic, I was more than a little self-conscious about the state ...

Book Review:‘Love is a Mix Tape: Life and Loss, One Song at a Time’ by Rob Sheffield
By Jennifer B. Kaufman
April 17, 2008
Just what is love? Philosophers, poets and song writers have been asking that question since the beginning of time. To music journalist Rob Sheffield, love is a mix tape. The author has chronicled the cross section of music and love in his newest book called Love is a Mix Tape: Life and Loss, One Song at a Time. Long before people downloaded music into iPods or b...

April 13, 2008
With springtime, sunshine, the Lollapalooza lineup announcement, and the Coachella festival a few days away, we all know that Festival Season 2008 has kicked off again. But the season’s serious genesis came last month, even before the fabled SXSW shindig down in Texas. A Spring Break tradition for the last few years, Langerado officially launch... Read More
Review: REMinding Us of Greatness—Accelerated Parables of the Deconstruction
By Andrew William Smith, Editor
April 05, 2008
Michael Stipe is no stranger to singing about the end of the world, but for the last few years, these testaments tended towards contemplative elegies rather than shake, rattle, and rolling with energy. With the release of the band’s fourteenth studio album Accelerate, R.E.M has finally silenced the naysayers who had prematurely predicted the end of ... Read More
Book Review: 'Perfect From Now On: How Indie Music Saved My Life' by John Sellers
By Jennifer B. Kaufman
April 01, 2008
I have to admit I held a few reservations when I picked up music journalist John Sellers' musical memoir Perfect From Now On: How Indie Music Saved My Life. I was afraid Sellers would be one of those hipster douchebag types bragging about eschewing mainstream pop for bands so obscure that even they don't realize they exist. I was afraid Sellers would be a dry, humor... Read More

April 23, 2008 - The Edge hosts charity auction amid work on new U2 album - Boston Herald
LOS ANGELES - For the second year in a row, The Edge is putting his money where the music is. The U2 guitarist announced Wednesday he will donate two Gibson guitars and other items from his personal collection to the "Icons of Music" auction benefiting Music Rising, a charity The Edge co-founded to replace musical equipment lost or destroyed by Hurricane Katrina. "No one could ever come close to repaying the debt of those w... Read More

By Aidin Vaziri “We’re not Irish,” The Edge once announced on national television. “Honestly, we’re not. We’re from Duluth, but we saw this Irish Spring commercial one day and we just went, ‘That’s it, we’ll be Irish.’” Naturally, the guitarist’s faux confession was for a comedy bit called “U2 Secrets” on Late Night with Conan O’Brien. Since forming in 1976, U2 have been mostly drama-free, with their original... Read More

Interview: Moises Szarf, ‘The Ethereal Connection: a Synthesis of U2 and The Beatles’
By Mark Reed
April 02, 2007
Moises Szarf has an unusual idea. One not many people may necessarily agree with (some people think he's a bit … odd, which is understandable). His hypothesis is that the eight-year career of The Beatles matches the 30 or so yea... Read More

By Kimberly Egolf, Editor
April 05, 2008
Could you balance a 40-pound tub of water on your head and walk 4 miles? Over half of Africa’s population has to make this journey each day, but the African Well Fund wants to change this. One well at a time. On March 17th the non-profit organization launched its annual drive to Build a Well for Bono’s Birthday. This drive aims to collect donations, no matter how lar... Read More

U2 lead singer Bono has described her as “one of the heroes” for her response to the African AIDS pandemic. Agnes Nyamayarwo is the leader of the Mulago Positive Women’s Network, an organization started in January 2004 to address the special needs of HIV-positive women in Uganda.

Review: With U23D, You Too Are Onstage

The song “Even Better Than the Real Thing” supplies the buzzwords for what many fans and critics are saying about the new U23D movie that premiered this month at the Sundance Film Festival and which was released to IMAX theaters on Wednesday. When the band’s first film for theatrical release reached the multiplex nearly 20 years (Rattle and Hum hit thea... Read More
Review: Joshua Tree Re-release, or Improving the Perfection of Intrinsic Duality

November 25, 2007
U2 fans had more than just turkey and all the trimmings to devour over the recent Thanksgiving holiday. They also had the 20th anniversary re-release of The Joshua Tree, which hit stores on Nov. 20. Originally released in March 1987, the album has been hailed as the Irish band’s masterpiece by U2 fans and rock ‘n’ roll critics alike — and wh... Read More
The Joshua Tree Files: Allen Ginsberg, Rock Star
By Andy Smith, Editor
November 21, 2007
While the deluxe edition of the Joshua Tree may be the first introduction for some U2 fans to the poetry of Allen Ginsberg (featured on the track “Drunk Chicken/America”), Bono has long been a fan of Ginsberg’s work, and Ginsberg has long been a friend of rock and roll. Bono’s tributes to the late Beat poet, practicing Buddhist, and part-time punk rock rapper include an interview segment on a recent Ginsberg DVD and verbal props in his ... Read More
The Joshua Tree Files: Going On Tour in 1987
By Andy Smith, Editor
November 10, 2007
To say that I anticipated the release of the Joshua Tree record in 1987 would be an understatement. As an avid 19-year-old rock fan, I don’t imagine I’d ever waited on a record with more enthusiasm. A college boy from the Midwest, I’d spent most of the winter in the south, on a peace march in Florida and volunteering at an intentional community in Atlanta, p... Read More

‘Pop’ and Circumstance: U2’s PopMart on DVD
By Tracey Hackett, Contributing Editor
September 24, 2007

The audio-visual feast of the limited edition DVD production begins with its packaging. The cover features the same familiar kickboxing Bono in front... Read More
