Always an interesting discussion, and for me an enjoyable one. Personally I’m not sure how any such list can exclude The Cranberries. Anyway, this has a couple of entries to upset the […]

There’s Lenny fever in the air, with the new Leonard Cohen album hitting the streets. There’s a couple of cover version albums doing the rounds, just to remind us of how good […]

Snowtown is the story of a serial killer in small town Australia. It is based on real life events, as three men were convicted in 2004 when eight bodies were found in […]

Just look at that date, you know what that means? Next week’s one is going to be 11-11-11, now how exciting is that? Ok, not that exciting, but it’ll look pretty, none […]

This sounds kind of fascinating, so if you’re in the area, you should head along! We’re so used to being forced news from our particular slant, it would be interesting to see […]

I just can’t stop watching this. I’m sorry, but I can’t. Well done to bigmentaldisease.com for this one.

I like Lars Von Trier, even if he did add the Von himself as he thought it made him sound cool! I like him so much, that I’ve even forgiven him for […]

St. Vincent was almost sold out, and then it wasn’t! I was almost too late, and now I’m not. St. Vincent has moved from the Workman’s club to the Button Factory. It’s […]

This is a plea for help really – I’ve been tasked with putting together a playlist for my daughter’s second birthday this weekend, and I wondered if anyone had any suggestions? I’m […]

Over the last couple of years ATP have really spread their wings as a promoter in London, and are now one of the most significant promoters in the city (and beyond, but […]

Poor Marco must be pretty stressed at the news that Liam is taking legal action against Noel in a bid to put both of them, and their busking-standard music back in the […]

Workhorse is a year old today. What have we learned? Zilch. Diddly. Ok, one or two things I guess. Here are some of the searched terms that have managed to get people […]

Beastie Boys new single, ‘Make some noise’. They still sound pretty good if you ask me! And in case you haven’t seen it, here’s the trailer for the new Beastie Boys 30 […]

You may already know this, but Jane’s Addiction will release a new album in August, titled ”The Great Escape Artist”. They’ve already annonced a limited number of European festival hows, which will […]

Hmm, I’d usually advocate a bit more structure in an article, but I arrived home from work to be made sit in front of a programme about people cooking competitively (eh?), so […]

‘People will do anything for a pot of gold, anything’ We all know that St. Patrick himself (the Patron Saint of drunken violence) was a Welsh guy who was kidnapped and taken […]

Is this the story of a woman trapped in a man’s body, or more likely the story of journalists who do less checking that I do! The New York Times runs with […]

Then votomatic may be your man! Ok, it may not be as much fun as the Fine Gael computer game, but if you have ignored studiously any media discussions of the topics […]

I found out about this gig in a very old school fashion. It wasn’t from twitter, his myspace page or any other internet based method, but rather the board outside Soundcellar (a […]

Tune-yards returns to Whelans on June 17th. The first time I saw her was backing up the Dirty Projectors a few years ago, and I was very surprised to say that the […]

This week sees the release of Brighton Rock, which I was looking forward to. Unfortunately the reviews are mixed at best, with most saying the 1947 version was better! It is based […]

A sad day, as the comics code authority has come to any end. Those familiar with Marvel and DC from the 70’s and 80’s will know the symbol on the bottom left […]

There’s always a few weeks where you’re better off taking a break from the movies. There’s lots of other entertaining things you can do, including starting your own stamp collection or even […]

I saw this piece in the Guardian today:  http://www.guardian.co.uk/books/booksblog/2011/jan/12/robert-crumb and thought that it was pretty interesting. I’ve always had mixed feeling about Crumb, which are pretty close to those of the author – […]

Right, so I’m last off the mark with this, and to be honest that reflects the difficulty I’ve had in arriving at a list of 10 albums from this year that I’d […]

Right, this is no more than a started – I’m tired and about to go to bed, but thought I’d start the ball rolling. Basically the Godspeed ATP was fun, as ATP […]

Something I never really realised was a problem is downloading of comic books. After a quick look on all downloaders main tool, google, I realised just how easy it is! Here’s some […]
