U2 Has N.Y. Street Named After Them!

International rock-sensation U2 just had a street renamed in their honor, to celebrate the completion of their brand new album. The event ceremony was held March 3rd on 53rd street in Manhattan. The Street was temporarily renamed "U2 Way" for a week by mayor Michael Bloomberg who is a big fan of the band himself. Although it isn't the first time that a band had a street renamed after them, not many bands hold the title of such an honor. The beatles had "Penny Lane", Elvis lived on the end of "lonely Street", and the crowd finally decided to throw in U2, which deserved the title just as much.
The band’s 12th studio album "No Line On The Horizon" is due 2009, and it is their first release in four years.

Coldplay marked "Shit Day" on their Calendar!!!

British Indie-rock band Coldplay branded this year's Brit Awards a "Shit Day" after not winning a single award at the 2009 ceremony on February 18. The Band was nominated in four categories, but failed to win a single one, losing three of them to some newbie Welsh singer named Duffy! The singer Chris martin expressed his frustration in losing all four categories by simply declaring," it's been a shit day frankly, I mean we've just got back from Japan, and lost all the Brits." However, he did manage to cheer himself up by performing with his band at a rare charity show in London onstage with The Killers and U2 for "All These Things I've Done" as well as a couple of other hits.
