...Donnell ’76, a friend who would go on to win a Tony for “Hairspray,” to simply hanging out with friends at The Harvard Crimson, for which they both reported. Hamburg penned several in-depth reviews on rock and roll albums, including ‘Black and Blue,’ the Rolling Stones’ 1976 album...
...from Ireland, am the same age as Bono, have every one of their recordings on vinyl and CD, and have seen the band live, in Dublin and elsewhere many times. I wanted to thank Josh Tyrangiel for his incisive, honest and, above all, brave review of their new album, No Line on the Horizon. I've listened to an advance copy about 30 times, and it's a poor, disjointed, unmusical record with a few listenable songs. The only good ones sound like Brian Eno tunes with guest appearances by U2.

...done this with quite a few people now. I'm doing it with Tegan and Sara, with the New Pornographers, with Grant-Lee Phillips, Jill Sobule, Jon Brion - it's huge. There are a lot of songs - I think it's going to be a double or triple album. Of course, a lot of the songs are very short. They span different genres too. It's not your typical music album...
