Les Savy Fav – New Year’s Eve
I cannot say how good this news is, and whoever organised it, deserves a world of credit. Les Savy Fav are pretty average musically, but Tim Harrington is who you are really […]
New at the Movies
Ok, a quick round of what’s new this week. I went to ‘Another Year’ last week, and it was a little better than I expected. As with all of his movies, even […]
Don’t tell the IMF
Bon Jovi sold out the RDS in less than an hour today, with tickets ranging from 65 euro to 91. This comes days after Take That and the Kings of Leon. Is this […]
Ben Folds
Ben Folds has just announced a gig in Vicar street for the 18th of Feb with tickets on sale on Friday for a mere 33.60, which isn’t too bad. He’ll be playing […]
Twilight Singers
Greg Dulli played in Whelans last wednesday week, which seemed a little out of the blue, as he hasn’t released anything a while. I was slightly disappointed with the arrangement (two guitars […]
What is wrong with people?
The Kings of Leon sold out in 40 minutes today, with ticket price set at 79 euro before rip off fees, so it generated over 6.5 million. They’ve just announced a second […]
Movie Reviews 5-11-10
Mixed bag this week, and the only thing it really proves is that reviews don’t mean a great deal! Another Year is Mike Leigh back to doing what he does best (and […]
Visionair
Redneck Manifesto have long been one of my favorite Irish bands. It must be nearly ten years ago I saw them play an afternoon gig in Whelans when one of them got […]
Pork on Eno
This is slightly out of character, or at least out of character for the type of person I presumed Brian Eno to be. In this clip Brian Eno is interviewed by someone […]
The Decemberists – The King is dead
The Decemberists have a new album coming out on the 18th of January, and they’re giving away a taster for it, with the song ‘Down by the Water’ (was that also a […]
Broken Social Sopranos
I’ve always had a strained relationship with Opera, in that i basically think it’s pants. Especially sopranos, whose whole vocal range seems to do what nails on a blackboard does for most […]
The Walking Dead Pilot
Ok, I’ve seen it, i had to cheat a little via the internet, but I’ve watched the first episode of the Walking Dead as discussed here. I have slightly mixed emotions about […]
Tower Records
Tower Records on Wicklow street is getting on a bit. Well, not as bad as some, but its 17th birthday is this month. I have heard that its now an entirely independent […]
The Umbrella Academy
I first stumbled accross the Umbrella Academy, when i was looking at what won the Eisner awards (The Oscars for comics) a few years ago. It won best limited series, after a brief […]
Battle of the Bands!
Tough choice for next Thursday, with three good gigs on the one night. I think I went to all three bands last time they were in town, so its a little unlucky […]
Cinema Reviews
Just checking the new releases this week, and nothing much of any interest on at the moment! A lot of three star movies released, and that just means ‘wait till dvd release’ […]
The National play Dingle?
Yep! Strange as it sounds, but not really that strange. It’s part of ‘Other Voices’, the RTE show that is filmed in St. James’ Church, Dingle. Other acts include Marina and the […]
The Pixies La La Love You…
More free junk on the Pixie mail list today, which you can get here. Its 145 MB’s of a show, which is slowly downloading at the moment! Its from a live show […]
Tron Legacy
There’s been talk about this for a while now, and I’ve resisted posting it. Daft Punk are doing the music to the new Tron Legacy movie, which opens in the states on […]
Animal Collective curate ATP
Animal Collective have been given the nod to curate ATP in Minehead, from May 13th to 15th. Not my favorite choice in recent years, while I do like their music, they are […]
Lykke Li
I will always remember our failed attempt to see Lykke Li, in Madrid, as 10 ish guys (ok, it was a stag party) turned up around 10.30 at the venue, to see […]
Iron and Wine
Iron and Wine are set to return to Dublin for a date in the Olympia on March 14th of next year. I was at their last show in the Ambassador a few […]
Warpaint
This lot played in Crawdaddy on Saturday, and while I missed it myself, there’s lots of bloggers getting very excited about it! Sounds a good gig, and i like what i hear […]
Marissa Nadler
The weird and wonderful Marissa Nadler is in town again. She’s playing ATP, and is stopping off in Dublin before it, to play Crawdaddy on the 1st of December. It should be […]

Two Pixies downloads, one is to do with the Interpol thing, mentioned earlier, it includes a video of them playing la la love you, which is kinda fun also! Its available here, […]
Music for Computers #3
A nice twist on the average soundtrack was Fallout 3, recommended to us by Arden K. As Arden says: “Fallout is interesting because it takes place after full-scale nuclear war, so the […]
