Ok, ok, I’m sure it won’t be anything special, and will probably last as long in the memory as the average TV sit-com, but I have to say, I like Woody Allen. […]
Update: The Winner is… Girls! Another wonderful idea from those Candepop people, Rebecca this time. Two songs enter, one song leaves. There can be only one! and other bad movie lines, you […]
Jeff Magnum made an appearance at Occupy Wall Street, which is a series of protests aimed at social and economic inequality and corporate greed (Yes, Michael Moore seems to be involved!). Radiohead […]
Everyone are a video design agency I came across through their work with Lullatone. I thought their video piece, Words, was worthy of a Videodrome slot. Beautifully shot and a lovely original […]
I’m way out of date with my gig guide, and for that I apologise! Haven’t done one for well over a month. Nothing jumping off the list really, in terms of new […]
NoMoreWorkHorse favs Lullatone just released the first track from their upcoming album “Soundtracks for Everyday Adventures”. The video is gorgeous and fun as always and was, in their words, “shot in our […]
Nico Brown and Martin Brunsden are two musicians who create music workshops for children and we were fortunate to catch them recently at the National Concert Hall with our little fella. At […]
What point is a review when a show is over? Not much use, I guess, other than to let you know how good my Sunday was! 1927‘s production of ‘The animals and […]
Two days into the theatre festival, and I’m two plays in! Enjoying it so far, but there’s always something of value to see in it, especially from the foreign productions. Something that […]
Before you ask, yes, I am annoying all my friends on a consistent basis to do these things, but they’re kind of fun. I’m enjoying them at least. This is by 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 […]
Think this is a first for the workhorse! Don’t think we’ve actually had a genuine, honest to god movie review. Still, L.A. wanted the chance to wax lyrical about Kevin Smith, and […]
In a lead up to a guest post by L.A, I thought this was worth a mention. Kevin Smith used to be a director that split the vote, some loved him and […]
Jeffery Lewis has the life. Really he does. By day, he’s a comic book writer and artist, and by night a rock star. It doesn’t come much better than that in my […]
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 […]
I think maybe I was a bit dismissive about Dublin Contemporary when I mentioned it first, but that was mostly as I had no idea of the size and scale of it. […]
The choice of movie of the week was a bit more difficult this week than last. Nothing was jumping out at me, so I went with the only one that all the […]
Is it that time of the year again already? Seems to be. This Friday is culture night. You can find the culture map here, and see if there’s anything on in your […]
“A wise man once said–’the skill in attending a party is knowing when it’s time to leave” – Michael Stipe It is with mixed emotions I see REM head for the hills. […]
I Fringed for the first time last night! I went to Pope Benedict: Bond Villain, mostly on the strength of the title, and as I hadn’t been to anything in the festival […]
These guys were one of the highlights of the Breeder’s ATP a couple of years back. I never figured I’d see them again, but they’re coming to Dublin on Friday the 18/11/11. Cool […]
Another Saturday, another guest post. This time it’s by a blogless person, Lesley Ann Whelan, whose knowledge of obscure movie directors knows no bounds. Hal Hartley is an American independent movie director […]
Directed by Sydney art collective Greedy Hen, the video for The Middle East’s track, Blood, employs techniques such as using paper, watercolours, cut outs and paint to create this heart-breaking piece that […]
The Field is Axel Willner, an electronic artist based in Stockholm and his new album, Looping State of Mind, is out now. The standout track for me is “Then It’s White”. It’s […]
Movie of the week is easy this time out, as everyone seems to love the one above. Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy is an adaptation of the 1974 cold war novel written by […]
Kanye and Rhymefest bizarrely made a pilot for a ‘Hip hop version of the Muppet Show’. Strangely it wasn’t picked up, but the director Konee Rok released a high light reel from […]
Face off: Saturday the 17th of Sept Folk versus Hip Hop Sugar Club versus Whelans Sam Amidon vs B Dolan (with Scroobius Pip in support!). Ok, they won’t be actually fighting, but […]
This is a charming and very simple blog from WIRE magazine. It’s basically selections of the sleeves of the releases they’ve received over the years, from vinyl, to CD to tape! The […]
