Greetings music lovers... Ireland based music blog
The Alphabet Set Christmas party was banging last night, the Voodoo Lounge was packed and the music was delicious. Big respect to Herv for proving why you voted for him in the top 10 Irish albums poll and everyone else who played. My personal highlight was getting the visuals in-sync for Super Extra Bonus Party’s [...]
As part of their end of year round-up, Cokemachineglow have put up a podcast of new and upcoming artists covering songs from 2006’s best albums. There are two covers from one of my favourite finds this year - Japan’s Shugo Tokumaru.
He covers M. Ward’s “To Go Home” (Itself a cover of a Daniel [...]
Now that From the Basement is available for broadcast to your computer screen or for download to your iPod, a kind reader sent on two mp3 rips of the Thom Yorke session from the show. The two songs are entitled “Videotape” and “Down is the new Up”. Not sure if they will end up on [...]
Thanks to everyone who voted this past week. In total we had 198 votes with 58 different Irish albums chosen. Sinéad has reliably informed me that there was 170 Irish albums released this year. The results are a little bit surprising due to the lack of mainstream and high profile acts. Where’s U2’s Singles [...]
Thom Yorke posted two remixes of songs from The Eraser on theeraser.net yesterday. On DeadAirSpace, Thom says “I got excited. I’ve been listening through. I mean. There’s some freaky shit.They may start appearing soon. Gradually. Briefly. Just a taste. And then gone“.

10. Cut Chemist - The Audience’s Listening
When Cut Chemist left Jurassic 5 earlier this year to concentrate on his solo material, I was hopeful but apprehensive that it wouldn’t retread on previous DJ mixes or solo material he had released. While Jurassic 5 released Feedback, arguably the blandest, radio-friendly hip hop album this year (although [...]
15. Nomo - New Tones
The funkiest album on the list, Michigan-based Nomo take their cue from the Congolese band, Konono N°1, respectively appropriating their percussive tribal sound to the Northern Hemisphere. Extending that ethos with breakneck brass, organ and guitar to produce a post-Afrobeat sound - the songs on instrumental New Tones are refreshlingly effervescent. [...]
It’s December so that means only one thing. Time for plenty of best of lists! We start the list season with the first part of Top 20 albums of 2006 list (numbers 20 - 16). Enjoy!
20. Fujiya & Miyagi - Transparent Things
Clocking in at 36 minutes, this album from Brighton based trio compiles new [...]
This looks like it could be worth a look. From The Basement is a live performance music series filmed at Maida Vale studios in London. The first episode will feature Thom Yorke on piano performing new Radiohead songs “Videotape” and “Down is the new Up”, a Kieran Hebden/Steve Reid live collaboration and the White Stripes. [...]
Most of you probably know Herb Alpert already and it’d be pretty surprising if any of you didn’t, seeing as he was so popular he even sold twice the amount the Beatles did in 1966. Whether you like him or not is another story however, as he is probably the preserve of older generations (kudos [...]
