Today, US radio stations were given the OK to start playing U2‘s new single, “Electrical Storm”. The
track (to be released as a single in October) will accompany the
forthcoming Best of 1990-2000 2-disc set from the band (expected in
Nov.)

BBC1 played the track a few days ago, and it was faithfully captured
to RealAudio
format
. However, Universal Records is reported to have
stated that this track is a “demo only”, implying that the real
single differs in some way.

After careening through the Prudential Tunnel, the car headed
north on Interstate 93 through the South Station Tunnel and then swerved
onto Atlantic Avenue, according to Globe photographer George Rizer, who
was alerted to the chase by police radio.

With State Police officers in pursuit, the truck raced through the North
End, across the North Washington Street Bridge and into Charlestown.
