English musicians and music geeks extraordinaire Steven Wilson and Tim Bowness have posted a new episode of their podcast The Album Years. They talk about 2000, discussing albums by Radiohead, Coldplay, U2, and a whole lot more. This is part #1 about this year. Also: the pair can be watched on YouTube now as well.
Watch Muse tackle the U2 classic Where The Streets Have No Name, with The Edge on guitar. Recorded live @ the Glastonbury Festival in England on June 26th 2010. U2 were supposed to play too, but they had to cancel due to Bono's back injury.

Beck is back with a new single. Dear Life is a taster for his new album Colors. Quirky and poppy he relies on the piano and double-tracked vocals to keep the track moving. A whiff of pyschedelic guitar comes in as the track progresses.
Colors will be released on October 12. He will be on the road in September supporting U2 on their The Joshua Tree Tour 2017 extravangza. Odd billing indeed.
O, that was easy, said man ...
U2 and Green Day have re-enacted the front cover of The Beatles' Abbey Road album. It happened when they were in the coveted studio together last week, recording their version of The Skids' The Saints Are Coming. Apparently Bono and co. thought that it would be a good idea to draft in U2 photographer Anton Corbijn to recreate the seminal snap.
