u2's new album will probably come out in 2009, possibly even before the band members start turning 49 years old

so says bono. this extended wait for an album that, really, who knows if we'll even like, well it sure makes some people mad. but not me.

other things i am more concerned with than when u2's next album will arrive: finding a new place to live; buying a new car; remembering to come home when i go to spain in a few weeks; securing a professional tennis player to let me be his new york girlfriend; praying liz lemon comes back to SNL to play the drill baby drill lady; also, making sure each member of u2 has appropriate haircut when album is eventually released.

she's gone - benjamin taylor

remember when we had a contest to decide who was on ben taylor's shirt - and it wasn't edge, but was bruce lee? yeah, no? okay. anyway, his last album was a ben taylor album, but his new one is a benjamin taylor album. and it is called the legend of kung folk and it is out on september 16th in north america. the above song is on it. ben is playing joe's pub in nyc on september 20, and a few other places in the u.s. before that. i am sure i don't need to mention that i approve of this haircut:

I'm not too bothered either by a 2009 release. As I see it in the 'Art vs. Commerce' struggle the Art has won out: they're forgoing the lucrative Christmas release quarter in order to work on more songs - which is creative decision that's very nice to see U2 make again. Leave Coldplay 2008 -- make way for U2009!

agree: music, lyrics and haircuts. in that order. as a larry fan i am undertaking therapy in order to prepare for the promo shots, cd book and publicity rounds. one hint of trucker / elvis / extra from The Outsiders and I go into my chant...
