It’s been a bit quiet around here the last week due to excessive gigging / drinking / general good times. Last weekend, I was at Mantua Festival (mostly at the Alphabet Set electronic tent) which was a great laugh - Review here. This video was taken at 10am on Sunday morning. Poor fellah.
It’s [...]
There’s an internet buzz growing about this band from North Carolina and it’s wholly justified. They were featured on Pitchfork and Spin in the same week. What caught me was Pitchfork’s description as “Like some fantasy hybrid of Animal Collective, the Arcade Fire, and Broken Social Scene”. That’s an amalgamation of three of my favourite [...]
Top Dublin band Channel One are offering a free five track EP for anyone who signs up to their mailing list on their site. The EP is a collection of tunes from their two recent EPs on the Sound Foundation Recordings. They make quality electronic-infused rock music - think M83 jamming with Depeche Mode and [...]
Definitely one of my favourite MCs in hip hop, MF Doom has taken on so many alter-egos and aliases it can be hard to keep up with him. From his start with KMD in 1991 through countless masked appearances as MF Doom, Viktor Vaughn, King Geedorah, Madvillian and Dangerdoom his output has been consistently dazzling [...]
I’m sure by now, you are all aware of Jamie Lidell’s Multiply album from last year. It was definitely an album that caught me unawares, full of sun kissed rhythms and soulful vocals from a knob twiddler from England. You can hear strains of Otis Redding, Stevie Wonder, Marvin Gaye throughout the record. Essentially Multiply [...]
Some beautiful odd music from Tokyo, Japan trickled into my ears this past week (Thanks Gráinne). I say odd but maybe it’s because Shugo Tokumaru’s music sounds like it was made in an forgotten era or more accurately, a world without electronics. It’s delightfully quaint and full of old-style rhythms and classical guitar picking. ‘Paparazzi’ [...]
Next weekend sees the Mantua Lives Festival take place in Ballinagare, Roscommon. It’s a small festival run by a local art collective. There will be 4 stages of quality music as well as live visual art installations and a sculpture arena. There’s a main stage with a bit of everything including Luke Vibert, God is [...]
I went to a house party last night and stayed up till the Sun decided to get up again. Buckfast was my drink of choice. The result is that today is one of those lazy lie around the house days. With that in mind, here’s a cute song from Joan as Policewoman. Just a [...]
