It?s beginning to look a lot like Christmas
Everywhere you turn.
Bono?s on morning TV
Talking about poverty
And Edge is out and about at social gatherings.

It?s beginning to look a lot like Christmas
Hopes of CDs out in the stores
2014 Grammys on January 26th
Eligibility?s only ?til September 30th
No pressure on U2?s front door.

Our first 80-degree day in a while and I?m humming Christmas tunes, I know. But let?s face it, the signs are all there. Bono?s back to his usual front-and-center activities. He celebrated his birthday May 10 with the band and his friends in Dublin. He then flew to New York City for the Robin Hood Foundation?s benefit, singing ?One? and ?Moment Of Surrender? with Mary J. Blige. Then he was interviewed at The Spotted Pig restaurant by Charlie Rose for both his own show and CBS This Morning. It should be noted that Bono is one of the partners in the restaurant, along with Jay-Z, Mario Batali, Michael Stipe, Paul McGuiness and a few others. Not sure if this was the same meal shared with Dr. Jeff Sachs. He was also seen at the Metropolitan Museum of Art?s rooftop for a new installation.

As a proud papa, he also turned down a commencement address request and an honorary degree from New York University so as not to upstage his daughter?s achievement in receiving her degree.

Rounding out the weekend, Bono introduced The Killers before they performed at the Saturday Night Live cast after party in the wee hours this morning outside 30 Rockefeller Center.

Not to be outdone, Edge was seen in New York City at the Guggenheim Museum for its Arcane Collective event May 11 and 12, celebrating his wife?s work Cold Dream Colour. He also joined in a moderated discussion with the collaborators on the production.

On Tuesday he was spotted at 10 Downing Street meeting with Samantha Cameron and other representatives of Mencap. You might recall that his cousin, Ciara, works for Mencap.

As someone who has studied this band for close to 25 years, I see all the signs there for the fall. They?re coming out of their cocoons and resuming their public appearances. For me, I might as well start my U2 Advent calendar. Let the countdown commence!

As you might have noticed from the amount of links above, social media has been most helpful in keeping up with the comings and goings of our favorite band. As expected, social media usage was one of the topics of conversation at last month?s U2 Conference. What struck me was the way Jim Henke, Brian O?Neal, Jim Gorman and a few others felt that U2 was making a mistake in not fully embracing the world of social media.

In 2010, Edge said to Gibson.com, ?I?m intrigued by new movements in digital domain and Twitter came along ? I didn?t like the idea of a dialogue. From my experience words on the ?Net are very easy to misinterpret ? But I thought an interesting way to use Twitter is to just use a photo diary so I?ve been sending loads of photographs out on this Twitter and people seem to like it.?

I have to wonder if his opinion will change when the new album is released. It will be difficult to market their new release without social media. I will be very interested in seeing what the app will be that U2 will release at that time too. It was mentioned at the U2 Conference that every image created for the band has been handed over for this application, so time will soon tell.

As part of my midlife crisis, I?ve been moonlighting with other fan clubs. Most recently, I signed up for Michael Buble?s Bungalow-B. This is the first official fan club that I?ve paid for outside of U2. For $29.99, I received ticket presale access for his upcoming tour, a copy of his new album, a digital copy of the new album (saving me time from ripping it), a discount in his online store and access to the online fan club for the next 12 months. There were other levels of membership available with other benefits that would rival U2?s fan club cost. What I found interesting was that ?legacy? members (a paid member for two-plus years) had a four-hour head start on the ticket presale, and the ability to purchase four tickets (four for one show or two for two shows). ?Standard? members had access to two tickets for one show. While there was no guarantee that tickets would be available, I had no issue getting the two tickets.

What struck me, however, was that Buble?s fan club had no access to the front sections of the floor. Instead, rows 1 through 5 in sections 1, 2 and 3 were available through online auction only. As much as I could see U2.com following suit with the various membership pricing and ticket presale code availability, it pained me to see that members of Buble?s fan club could not have close access to the act they?re paying $30 or more to support online annually.

With a potential U2 tour in 2014, I can only hope that the fans (legacy or not) who pay for fan club access can still be allowed to be in those coveted areas near the stage without going through an auction like Buble fans or paying thousands of dollars like Bon Jovi fans do.

And finally ? something special for Larry fans. ?The white T-shirt is a symbol with hunky, sexy male.? (It gets good around 1:37) Who knew Larry?s favorite film growing up was West Side Story?

Have a great week!

Watch Jimmy Edgar and Machinedrum Talk Music, Collaboration, and More

Last month, we reported that Jimmy Edgar and Machinedrum (a.k.a. Travis Stewart)?who together operate as Jets?had launched the Ultramajic imprint, and would issue Edgar?s Hot Inside EP as its inaugural release on June 10. Today, a Yours Truly-curated clip of the pair has surfaced, one which finds Edgar and Stewart discussing the genesis of their collaborative project and the new label, while also taking the time to play a few cuts from a forthcoming Jets release. During the course of the discussion, the pair also wax amusingly about the differences between working and living in Berlin versus New York, most notably pointing to an abundance of free time and creative energy that exists in Berlin. The full clip is available to watch below.

Fans who attended the Anaheim, Calif. date of the Rolling Stones? ?50 & Counting? Tour? got a little bit more than they bargained for Saturday night (May 18). Former Nirvana drummer and Foo Fighters front man Dave Grohl came out mid-set at the Honda Center to join the legendary rockers for a searing rendition of ?Bitch.?

It wasn?t a last-minute jam; the Stones teased Grohl?s appearance via Twitter earlier Saturday. Clad in his usual post-grunge attire of plaid shirt and jeans, a joyous Grohl banged out the guitar parts along with Keith Richards and traded vocals with Mick Jagger in what must have seemed like an impossible rock and roll dream come true.

The set proved there?s still life in the band; unlike some of their more bloated past tours, the Stones sounded rawer, more stripped-down, lean and mean on Saturday night. Former Stones guitarist Mick Taylor also joined the band for ?Midnight Rambler? and ?(I Can?t Get No) Satisfaction).?

The group?s current tour has provided plenty of surprises for fans. Gwen Stefani and Keith Urban were onstage on opening night in Los Angeles, while Tom Waits, John Fogerty and Katy Perry have also jumped onstage at various dates.

As for Grohl, he?s starting to make a habit out of jamming with legends; he recently said that inducting Rush into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and jamming with them at the induction ceremony was ?one of the most special nights of my life.?

The Rolling Stones will perform at the Staples Canter in Los Angeles on Monday (May 20) before heading to Toronto for a gig next Saturday (May 25).

It’s looking like Anchorman: The Legend Continues is going to have a healthy dose of Hip-Hop star power. Besides Kanye West, YMCMB’s Drake, who was recently spotted in the studio with Jay-Z, makes a cameo in the film, too.

Reports the New York Daily News:

As if there wasn’t enough of a star-studded cameo list including Kanye West, Kristen Wiig, Amy Poehler, Jim Carrey, Tina Fey and Harrison Ford to keep fans in a glass case of emotion over, it appears rapper Drake has made a debut.

In a photo snapped Saturday in New York circa 1977, a male donning a fro and leather jacket who looks strikingly like the “Take Care” singer was seen on set.

Fellow rapper and guest star West, filmed his scenes last week also sporting an afro and leather jacket choking Steve Carrell’s character with a hockey stick.

Yeezy also rocks an afro and looks like he is blessing Steve Carell’s character with the fade courtesy of a hockey stick in photos of his appearance from the set. Anchorman: The Legend Continues is due in the theaters by the end of the year. Drake’s new album, Nothing Was The Same, is in stores sometime this summer.

Check out a photo of Drizzy rocking a chin strap afro and 70′s style Member’s Only leather jacked on the next page.
