Greetings music lovers... Ireland based music blog
I’ve been compiling my end of year album and songs list over the past few days but I really wanted to do a top 10 Irish albums of 2006 list too. Only problem is I don’t think I’ve heard enough Irish albums from this year to put into a list.
Seeing as the blog is [...]
Hello all, Mike here. Today I have a treat for techno afficionados (but maybe not much else for those of you who don’t like repetitive beats as much). I’ve been sitting on this mix for a year or two now, and God knows it’s probably been doing the rounds for a lot longer than that. [...]
2 new songs from El-P forthcoming I’ll Sleep when you’re Dead album out in March 2007. The album sounds like it’s a step away from Fantastic Damage (hardly surprising- It was 5 years ago ) with guest appearances including Mars Volta, Trent Reznor, Tunde Adebimpe (TV on the Radio), Aesop Rock, James McNew (of [...]
Something about the revered anticipation that greeted Juana Molina as she took the stage in Crawdaddy last night told me this was going to be different from other gigs I’d been to recently. There were also people sitting on the floor in front of the stage as well which is something I’d imagine happens at [...]
Stylus scribe Nick Southall lists 10 albums which he considers to have bad production values since 1997. Southall has a bit of beef with compression and overproduction as he detailed in an article a few months back entitled “Imperfect Sound Forever”. The list starts with Oasis’ - Be Here Now and takes in The [...]
Taken from Clipse’s forthcoming Hell Hath no Fury - an album considered to be a late contender for hip hop album of the year by many, “Trill” is a sinister 808 laden, space rap pushin’, Neptunes produced hip hop gem. Proving Pharrell has still got a few huge beats up his sleeve, he serves up [...]
Black Music is an apt title for Dublin duo Deep Burial’s latest release. It is 42 minutes of brooding, menacing and engaging Dublin instrumental hip hop. Not something you hear often around these parts.
The track titles only serve to reinforce the bleak outlook suggested in the album title with track titles like “Maggot Confetti”, [...]
Nialler9 guest Mike here again to take you crazy kidz on a magical trip down memory lane. A massive urge to look at cheesy 90’s pop dance tunes gripped me in my hungover state this saturday afternoon, the brief fruits of which I shall now share with you lucky music fans.
First off we have [...]
Annuals, the band that have released one of my favourite albums of this year are supporting Flaming Lips in Vicar Street Saturday and Sunday this weekend. If anybody has got a spare please let me know, I’d love to see them!

A brief interview from Squarepusher on the BBC’s Culture Show aired last month. As well as an introduction from André 3000 who makes a plea to Squarepusher to collaborate with him (Imagine what that would sound like - some kind of trippy jazz-bass-heavy space-funk electronic drum and bass hip hop album), there’s also a solo [...]
