Hello, Hello
Ola!
I'm at a place called vertigo (That's right!)


themercury.news.com.au: RADIO station Nova has been heavily promoting a world exclusive broadcast planned for this morning - the much-anticipated new single from U2, Vertigo.

It found an illegal copy of the song from the internet on Wednesday - ahead of its worldwide release to stations at 6pm today.

Nova negotiated with horrified U2 management to not play the song until 8.30am today.

But a tough letter from U2's lawyers saw a change of heart last night, and Nova will wait until tonight like everyone else.

"It's extraordinarily disappointing," program director Dan Bradley said. "The song's awesome, U2's the biggest band in the world, but unfortunately we'll have to wait an extra 10 or so hours, and I apologise to Nova listeners for that." [arrow more]

liveaiddvddigital-movie.de: Das 16-stündige Marthon-Konzert "Live Aid" war seinerzeit ein Ereignis der Extraklasse. Das als die "größte Show der Welt" bezeichnete Konzert, das seinerzeit als Benefiz-Veranstaltung für die Dritte Welt inszeniert wurde, wurde weltweit von 1,5 Milliarden Zuschauern im Fernsehen verfolgt. Die Ausstrahlung blieb seitdem einmalig.

Dabei soll es nun nicht mehr bleiben. Alle, die das Riesenkonzert nochmal in voller Länge verfolgen möchten, haben nun ab dem 8. November 2004, nach 19 Jahren Verschluss, Gelegenheit dazu. An diesem Tag veröffentlicht Warner Music nahezu das komplette Spektakel vollständig remastered auf einem 4-DVD-Set mit Multi-Channel Surround Sound. [arrow more]


canoe.ca: In a move that might make Irish rocker Bono a fan, Canada has wiped out the debt it was owed by three poor African nations. Finance Minister Ralph Goodale yesterday announced the $9-million debt relief to Senegal, Ghana and Ethiopia, adding the cancellation will help the countries spend more on health care and education.

Bono has been leading a campaign urging rich countries to help the Third World. During a spring visit to Ottawa, the U2 frontman praised Prime Minister Paul Martin for his commitment to help Africa through debt reduction and access to cheaper drugs.
