What’s better than new good music? Well? Ok, it’s easy, new good free music! For the cost of only an email address you can download this tasty 7 track from Popical Island. […]
Movies – 27-04-12 – Damsels in Distress
Whit Stillman is back in town. Yes, that’s right… go on… it’ll come back to you if you think about it hard enough. The director of some lovely indie gems from the […]
Ben Folds Five – Vicar Street
I’ve always thought I should like Ben Folds more than I actually do. I can’t quite put my finger on it, as he writes good music with interesting and quirky lyrics, and […]
Body and Soul Additions
Body and Soul continue to get it just right, with a few new additions that are increasing the temptation. Spiritualized, Django Django and Hollie Cook are added to the list. Hollie is […]
Mega-city blues! Music for Mega-city
This ticks a lot of boxes for me, so thought it was worth a mention. Geoff Barrow (Portishead) and Ben Salisbury (random soundtrack composer) have a new album inspired by Mega-city, the […]
Morning Benders = POP ETC.
I’ll let these guys speak for themselves: As soon as we had landed in London people started asking us about our band name. “What does ‘Bender’ mean to you?” people would ask. […]
Movies – 20-04-12
‘Breathing’ looks the best bet on a slow week for new releases. It’s directed by Karl Markovics who you may remember from The Counterfeiters, from a few years ago. It tells the […]
Record Store Day
Record store day is back, and with the declining number of stores around the city, they should be cherished like a new born! Well, maybe not, but it’s probably a nice way […]
An Opera worth seeing? Neil Hannon – Sevastopol
I get very annoyed at people that say sweeping statements like ‘I don’t like Movies’. It frustrates the hell out of me that people can pick an art form and just say […]
Old man who loves Cab Calloway!
This is all over the place today, and thanks to the wonderful Judith for the link. It’s a quite wonderful video of the affect music has on an old man, who is […]
A Doll House – Pan Pan – Smock Alley
Always bright and inventive, Pan Pan return with another adaption of a classic, this time Ibsen’s Doll House. Those familiar with the company will know that it’s unlikely to be a straight […]
Triskel @ Christchurch – Neil Cowley Trio
I stumbled upon this in the Irish times, which is as good a spot as any I guess, but it seems to be going on for a while, so I’ve possibly missed […]

Nice to see the Irish Times ran with the story about James Cameron directing Promethus 2, which according to this was an April Fool story. This story with fake quotes had already […]
Rock and Roll and Alcohol – JD Roots
I guess since ever since I saw Layne Staley of Alice in Chains in the SFX, when one of the many stage diving fans got too close to his bottle of booze, […]
Sun Kil Moon – Among the Leaves
Mark Kozelek and co are back with a new album, called ‘Among the Leaves’ which will be released on Mark’s own label on the 29th of May. Here’s a taster, which features […]
Robot Chicken
Robot Chicken is a comedy show from Adult Swim which was created by Seth Green, among others! I’m not sure it’s reached our shore as of yet, but it’s all over the […]
Meteor Camden Crawl Dublin
I’ve been kind of ignoring this, as it’s a very odd notion. Dublin isn’t Camden, so why not call it something else? The Dublin Crawl, perchance? Anyway, it’s another shot by Meteor […]
Movies – 09-03-12
I took a break from our regular view of what’s what in movie land, as I had to visit the sick and lame last week. One thing I did learn though, was […]
