Yesterday’s announcement of the final votes for the U2.com fan club gift U22 was both surprising and enlightening. U2.com reported that “tens of thousands of votes” were cast for this year’s subscribers gift. Over the three months of voting, U2.com asked a handful of guest contributors to offer their list of 22 songs they’d like to see make the cut. Our very own M2 was asked to share his thoughts. After seeing the list, I was curious to see whose list was the closest to what the fans’ final 22 songs were. Drum roll please… PAUL MCGUINNESS! Yes,…

VIDEO: 9 Minutes of Bono at the Desert Music Festival in Mali
25 Jan 2012 | 12:33 pmWe’ve already posted several videos on the main website from Bono’s recent appearance at the Desert Festival in Timbuktu, Mali, but this one below is by far the longest and best of all. It’s from the festival organizers and features about nine minutes of non-stop Bono — the first seven minutes are from his performance, and then a couple minutes of him enjoying the music from the crowd. Look for his typically subtle entrance at the 1:00 mark and don’t miss the 5:00 mark, when he starts pulling out some of his favorite stadium moves. This is a post from the @U2… -

Producer Tim Hudson has cut a new trailer for the film (which you can watch at the Kickstarter page), but U2 fans who remember the first trailer will notice the footage of Bono and Edge, and of Phil Keaggy talking about U2, is conspicuously gone in the new trailer.

VIDEO: Band-Aid, Minus Bono, Sings “Do They Know It’s Christmas”
28 Dec 2011 | 12:27 pmHere’s something I’ve never seen before: Band-Aid singing (err, lip-synching) “Do They Know It’s Christmas” on Top Of The Pops, but without Bono. And yet, despite not having all of the singers there, they go on lip-synching right over Bono’s line as if there’s nothing strange about it at all. I don’t know the exact date of that TOTP performance, but it would surely have been December 1984. And since U2 was touring the U.S. that month, there was no way for Bono (nor Adam) to show up for the TV performance. How weird it all is. This is a post from…

Bono: Alicia Keys has 'lioness energy'
