New U2! New U2! New U2! New U2!

“Get On Your Boots”, the first single from U2’s upcoming album, “No Line On The Horizon” has been released today, although I haven’t been able to download it from iTunes yet. Not to worry though, because you can stream it on U2.com right now!

Shout it from the fricken rooftops because it kicks major ass!

2009 or 1994?

A week after the Dead announced their spring tour, Phish have today announced, via skywriters (see YouTube clip above), that they too will be touring in 2009. Speculation has been rampant since the announcement back in October of a three night run at Virginia’s Hampton Coliseum this March that there would be more to the story. Today’s announcement has confirmed those suspicions, however, there are no shows on the West Coast, nor was there the much rumored Bonnarroo headlining gig. That could still happen, as the band don’t currently have any shows scheduled between June 9 and the 16th, leaving the Bonnarroo dates of June 11 – 15 wide open.

Mailorder for the tour, which begins at New York’s Jones Beach on June 4, opened today @ Phish.com, and runs through the 17th. Public on-sale starts January 30th.
