Check out Geldof’s performance of “How I Roll” above — and keep an eye out for a chance this week to win the new CD.

I wish he would stop taking so long between records. Sex AGe & Death was his best work in a long time I can’t believe its taken 8 years for this. Good tune!
Cannot wait to hear the new album. Bob, Pete and the boys are a great live band. Hope Bob does a quick tour of the U.S. again.
