2008-06-06: Site > One of our most popular sections is up to date - yes, we've updated the "By Song" listings in the U2 discography, which lists each version of songs that U2 has worked on as a collective or individually. Some things added in this latest update? The songs from Andrea Corr's solo album which Bono produced. The song Bono wrote for Johnny Hallyday. The track that Larry Mullen did with Underworld, including the remixes for the Japanese single. The Ballad of Ronnie Drew is in there, as are the songs off of the Slane Fanclub CD. And finally? The extra songs from the remasters of Boy, October, War and The Joshua Tree. Right now some information is pending on the new releases, but we will continue to update as time permits. Hopefully discography entries follow soon... [AJ]

2008-06-04: News / Releases > By now, I'm sure that everyone has seen the tracklists for the deluxe remasters of Boy, October, and War.  Indeed, they are already being discussed in our forums.  In other release news, I've just received my DVD copy of Darfur Now, and can confirm that Bono and Stevie Wonder's collaboration on Love Is In Need Of Love Today plays over the end credits.  The only audio track on the DVD is DD 5.1 as far as I can tell.

2008-03-12: Lyrics / Site > 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 [CU]
