It has been a third of a century since The Boomtown Rats released an album, but that is not stopping them from releasing new music.
Bob Geldof told Daily Mirror, “We’ve done 26 tracks. We’re mixing them now, I’ve done the vocals on them. We’re getting really excited, we think they’re great.” No word when the 26 tracks will be released, but the singer told the paper that he is planning on releasing 4 tracks every few months, “which allows us to space out the music but also do different things.”
A lot has changed in music since 1984, and I am sure their fans will embrace their new tunes. Just like they have been enjoying seeing them at festivals over the last few years.
Peaches Geldof passed away today at the age of just 25. Kent Police told the BBC, “At this stage, the death is being treated as unexplained and sudden.”
She was the daughter of Bob Geldof and Paula Yates, who she lost when she was only 11 to a drug overdose.
Peaches was married to Thomas Cohen with whom she had two sons, Astala, 1, and Phaedra, who is turning 1 on April 24th. Before marrying Cohen she dated director Eli Roth and married Max Drummey in Vegas when she was just 19, the two separated after just 6 months.
So sad because she had her two boys and her whole life to look forward to.
One of the things that Sting is known for his 5 hour tantric sex romps with his wife Trudy Styler and now she is talking about how that erotic tale got started. Here is what she told Daily Mail:
“Do you know who I blame for that? Bob Geldof. Him and Sting had gone to do an interview with a rock journalist, and the interview turned into a drinking session.
At one point, the journalist asked how long they could go for, and Geldof said he was a three-minute man, but, as Sting did yoga, he could probably go for hours. And Sting said ‘Well, haven’t you heard of tantric sex?’
So Sting explained that it is all about being intimate, about caring for your partner, really engaging in intimacy before you, you know… have sex. And that’s the premise of tantra, really. It’s simply engagement with your partner.”
Wait forget that Sting doesn’t actually go hours in bed as he claims, the Boomtown Rats singer can only go for three minutes. Actually I always pictured him being a quickie, and to be honest I picture The Police singer going for even less than that.

Peaches Geldof is hosting a show called OMG over in The UK and looks and sounds like she a major OMG moment during it. Bob Geldof’s daughter seems to have let a loud fart go while she was interviewing some vampires. After watching the video I think it will take more than a Band-Aid applied to her a$$ to heal that embarrassment.
Since it was her first show, I wonder if the reviews were like…”It stinks”, “Who dealt it?”, “Cut the cheese” and “I smell disaster”. If you have more, then let your fart jokes begin…
UPDATE: Here is what Peaches Tweeted had happened, “Everyones saying I farted on #OMG- It was actually my shoes on the leather sofa,but thats not to say I dont let off massive farts sometimes.” Do you believe her or do you still think she ripped a big smelly one?
Bob Geldof is rumored to have gone off on Al Gore's Live Earth in a Dutch Newspaper according to AP. In the interview Geldof said, "I hope they're a success. But why is (Gore) actually organizing them? To make us aware of the greenhouse effect? Everybody's known about that problem for years. We are all (expletive) conscious of global warming," he added. "I would only organize (Live Earth) if I could go on stage and announce concrete environmental measures from the American presidential candidates, Congress or major corporations. They haven't got those guarantees, so it's just an enormous pop concert or the umpteenth time that, say, Madonna or Coldplay get up on stage." Not only did he knock the concert he also knocked the name, "It sounds like Live 8," he told the paper. "We're getting lots of responses from people who think we are organizing it."
To me it sounds like Geldof is jealous that he was not asked to be part of it and that someone else was able to plan a worldwide benefit concert with better names. Let's be real what the heck was Live 8 all about? To make a statement to the G8 Summit? What the heck is G8 Summit? What did his concert do? And who benefited from it? Live 8 was all about Geldof's ego.
Bob Geldof needs to brush his hair and get over himself.
