Lyrics Updates (or lack thereof)

CU — Wed, 12 Mar 2008 19:22:40 +0000

I apologize for the lack of lyrics updates in the past months (years?) - living on the road and then doing design work full time has limited the amount of energy I put into some of my side projects, including this one. It’s something I’ll try and catch up on, but in the meantime you can view or contribute to the lyrics transcriptions board in the site forum which has some of the newer songs the site itself is missing. :p

If you’re not Irish, that isn’t your fault…

For those of you not lucky enough to live in Ireland, and who are trying to obtain a copy of The Ballad of Ronnie Drew, you have a few options. You can download the single from Universal Ireland’s online store. If you are looking to obtain a copy of the CD (très twentieth century), try Road Records, Tower Records Ireland, or CD World. And be sure to check out the live performance from RTÉ.

Only in Ireland? Are you friggin’ serious?

U2, The Dubliners, Kíla, and A Band of Bowsies will release The Ballad of Ronnie Drew as a digital download February 22 and on CD February 29th. Ronnie Drew, a founding member of The Dubliners, is currently fighting cancer, and all profits from the single will go to support the Irish Cancer Society. However, the track will only be available in Ireland, ~~so U2 fans the world over will have to get creative to get their hands on a copy~~. or will it?

Boy Remastered.

May 20. Looks like we’re getting the next in a series of remastering jobs on May the 20th according to Amazon.com - do a search for “U2 Boy Remastered” and you’ll see listings for the regular version as well as a deluxe version. Further more I’m hearing rumours that Under a Blood Red Sky will see this treatment in September, and the deluxe version will contain the long awaited DVD release of the concert…UPDATE: Amazon listings for both October and War Remastered have shown up as well with the May 20th release date. Looks like each of the three albums will be coming in a one disc remastered version and a deluxe version. No word on the content of the deluxe versions as of yet. (Thanks Declan and Albie for the heads up!)

Happy Holidays and RIP The Complete U2

Happy Holidays to the U2 online community from the staff at U2Wanderer. U2.com’s annual gift to subscribers is beginning to show up in mailboxes; if you’ve been hibernating, it’s the 2001 Slane concert on CD (and a t-shirt). If you’ve been meaning to download The Complete U2 with your holiday iTunes gift cards, you’re too late. It’s gone. (Go ahead and click if you don’t believe me.) And finally, what in the name of Bono is this?

Long time, no post. From 8:30-8:31pm Saturday night we had a security breach on the site. It appears to be rather tame script, mainly link spam on index.* files and a few stabs at hijacking a 4 year old version of PHPBB heh. We’ve replaced/upgraded our CMS and forum, changed passwords to whatever we can, sent in tickets to our webhost, and manually cleaned up most of the mess. As far as we can tell there was no loss of content. Sorry for the inconvenience. ^^;
