we can't get enough of you, baby



williamsburgedge.com you need to click that link just to enjoy the intro few seconds of the edge word overtaking your screen. (thanx for the photo).

also:

bono and ali were honored by the fashion industry last night
the hewsons were not in attendance, and appeared via video to accept a humanitarian award for their work with edun. they were introduced by actor djimon hounsou, who said "these are two people that remind us that `conscious' is always in fashion."

in case you were not aware, there is now a live edun online store where you can spend money.

also, also: a few interesting tunes making the rounds this week.

u2spain posted the casa de angeles remix of original of the species. to me, it has a maroon 5 vibe. but some people seem to dig it.

[mp3] original of the species (casa de angeles remix)

u2 live journal posted three tracks worth having. they are from a live in-studio radio promo cd recorded in the run-up to the elevation tour. (more info here). elevation in particular is a bit edgier and rougher in the guitar area, and (it has been suggested) a bit, um, HOTTER, in the vocal area.

[mp3] beautiful day (live in studio)

It's fun to hear these songs before the band started to phone them in. Kind of like Williamsburg was before developers started naming complexes after rock stars.

That Edge page should come with a warning not to view it if you are on any kind of medication.
