U2

'm writing to tell you about an amazing video clip that U2 has just posted on iLike - it means a lot to me and I think it's a little bit of rock'n'roll history.

(Forgive me for the mass email -- we've never done this before. I've included my email address below if you want to contact me.)

Today, U2 used iLike to post a personal message from Bono, singing - and talking us through - "Wave of Sorrow". It's a track that U2 demoed during sessions for The Joshua Tree in 1987. Just recently Bono laid down vocals for the song and it will be released for the first time next week on the remastered release of The Joshua Tree. As Bono plays us the track, he also tells the powerful story of the song. I found it quite moving!

>>> Watch the video of Bono singing "Wave of Sorrow" and leave your feedback.

Since we started iLike a year ago, our vision has been to bring people together through music. As others follow U2's lead, this could transform how artists connect with fans. To get concert alerts & content from other artists, tell us which artists you like.

Sincerely,
Hadi Partovi, co-founder, iLike

p.s. On a personal note, I was in the room when this video was filmed. My brother recorded it on his cameraphone. Now that's a memory to treasure!

Tuesday Combo: WTF?! & WDIK??

what up!
my name is Florence.
i'm a member of the african-american socialist movement.
i like trees, turkey bacon, and shiny teeth.

Sorry guys! I missed my cousin's visit to NYC...that was for him.
Anyways! I had the pleasure of laundry at me mums over the week-end, yeah, and got to watchin' The Salt N Pepa Show on VH1, yeah. OMG! What the bloody-hell did Pepa do to her face?!?! I used to IDOLIZED these women! They are my sHeros! Pepa's nose was what I liked most about her. She was holding it down for the brownies when they weren't in style. She is (was) BEAUTIFUL! Why did she get a nose job???

Moving right along, and kinda stickin' to the hip-hop/MTV/VH1 theme: Kevin Powell, of Real World Season 1 fame, is running for office! Yes, this accomplished chap is running for the United States Congress in the 10th Congressional District here in Brooklyn, New York! I'm excited!

To All You Bitches Takin 45min Showers

Also known as letting the water run (whether you are letting the tap run while you wash dishes, brush your teeth, run around the kitchen...waiting for COLD/ HOT water). why dont you take your funky ass and learn about the current state of our planet.
If the shoe fits, be warned. When my kids reach your age, there will be MUCH less water in the world - thanks to bitches like YOU!!!
Ever thought of getting wet, turning off the water, soaping up, and then rinsing off?
What about filling a cup of water to use to brush your teeth...?
I guess not, you are so ignorant, and thinking of you makes me so angry.
Imagine how MOST people live in the world...one day you too will know what is means to HAVE to conserve water?....right now, you are like most privileged ignorant WATER WASTERS..., contributing to the drying up of our future's most valuable resource without even knowing...

Kudos to ms. Jackson!

No, not Janet, Shar! Y'all remember Niecy? Moesha's homie from late that 90's show MOESHA??? Okay, okay...um...the girl Kevin Federline left to marry Britney??
Apparently, she's on an MYV show called Celebrity Rap Star and she spit an original track called Let It Blow. I will honestly say, if I had to chose between her and Brit, I'd have chosen her (just cause she got the bad end of the stick, ya know? Father of her kids marrying (and fathering) someone else) But after this lil' rhyme, Shar gets kudos from f12!

enjoy!
