Posted by SPun2U in Yesterday we posted a Crackberry.com post about the upcoming U2 app called “U2 Mobile Album“. Now here is the commercial that is starting to be seen in theaters & on TV.
BlackBerry Loves U2 – Mobile Album On The Way
Back in March we first heard that BlackBerry would be sponsoring U2’s Tour (no, not that Tour) that kicked off in Barcelona on June 30th. Well there was no sign of a RIM back at the opening gig, but it does look like the U2 Mobile Album is on the way. A teaser on BlackBerry.com gives a quick run through of what looks to be a “U2 App” with music, photos, tour info and more. No big details on any of it, but certainly good things are to come…at least if you’re a U2 fan. You can sign up here to receive updates on the Mobile Album. Head over to http://na.blackberry.com/eng/u2/ for more info. Hat Tip to Matt for jogging our brains to post on this… we saw the site went live yesterday but somehow forgot to post on it (distracted by that other Tour perhaps).
Irish celebs line up behind “Yes” campaign for Lisbon treaty
Ireland soccer captain Robbie Keane and U2’s The Edge are among high-profile celebrity names who will be campaigning for a yes vote in the new Lisbon Treaty referendum set for this October in Ireland.
Nobel laureate poet Seamus Heaney and author Deirdre Purcell are also involved in the new campaign group, Ireland for Europe, which insists it will not allow politicians to mess up the yes campaign.
> In the first referendum last year Ireland rejected the treaty — designed to streamline government of the EU — and that meant it had to be put on hold since ratification requires the approval of all member states of the EU.

U2 have found what they’re looking for… in France
U2 will be sunning themselves in the South of France this summer, as they make it their base for their upcoming European tour.

U2 get Magnificent in Morocco
Irish rockers U2 have released the video for their second single, “Magnificent”, off of their successful new album “No Line on the Horizon”.
Unlike the video for the first single “Get on Your Boots”, which had images of outer space and sexy girls in military uniforms, “Magnificent” takes a softer approach.
Directed by Alex Courtez (who also directed “Boots”), the band is seen walking through the streets of Fes, Morocco with the desert sun beating down on them. They walk with the locals as white sheets drape the surrounding buildings. Also, they are seen playing in a Moroccan house. Their guitars and amps are propped against the mosaic walls.
As per their official website, U2.com, “Magnificent” will be remixed an astounding four times. Versions of the song by Soha, Adam K, Redanka, Peter Tong, and Fred Falke are available for downloading.
U2 are no strangers to the mythical city of Fes. They recorded parts of their new album there and on the song “Fez: Being Born”, the Moroccan vibe is evident.
Let’s hope they bring a little bit of Morocco with them on their upcoming tour! But for now, satisfy your U2 craving with their “Magnificent” video.
