Greetings music lovers... Ireland based music blog
I’ve had three strange music related dreams in the last three consecutive nights. The first one was involved Oxegen: now a wasteland, a warzone occupied by warring tribes using bits of stages and vehicles as projectiles on each other, while scummers ran around robbing the pockets of everyone else. I seemed to be living in [...]
In the first of a regular series of guest blogs, Don will be sharing some love for music from his hometown of Memphis. Take it away Don.
Nine times out of ten, the first reaction I get from people when I tell them I’m from Memphis is Elvis related. It’s probably the same with most [...]
If you listened to our latest Podcast (and I highly recommend you do!), you will have heard the excellent original of “Deserter”. We also mentioned we hadn’t heard the Four Tet remix yet. Well now obviously we have and it’s a cracker.
I prefer the instrumental remix as it’s not hampered by Dear’s grouchy [...]
Head over to Prefix to hear “Flashlight Fight” from the forthcoming Go! Team album out Proof of Youth out on September 11th. Chuck D is buried by squadrons of horns and screeching sirens but still holds his own while the Go! Team cheerleading troop help out in the chorus.
The Go! Team - “Flashlight Fight” [...]
Os Mutantes live was definitely not what I was expecting. In a woefully attended Vicar Street, Os Mutantes with one original member missing (Arnaldo Baptista) and (judging by photos and videos I had seen previously) two other members - a guitarist and a lead singer (Zélia Duncan). There were mentions of sickness and kidney problems [...]
Super quickie here on the Indian percussion m.a.e.s.t.r.o Trilok Gurtu who is playing the National Concert Hall as part of the Big Bang Festival this Saturday 28th July for the paltry sum of €5. Worth it methinks. Basically this is a musician that has been knockin out some of the most inventive tabla rhythms solo [...]
Yep. Will Oldham appears in Kanye’s other video for “Can’t tell me Nothing” alongside comedian Zach Galifianakis.
Watch the video on Kanye’s site.
CD (and t-shirt) giveaway time! I’ve got copies of Beautiful Mindz the collaborative LP from DJ 2tall featuring Stones Throw artists Dudley Perkins (sometime vocalist for Madlib) and Georgia Anne Muldrow on vocal duties to throw at ya.
‘Beautiful Mindz’ is a beautiful chilled, soulful, thoughtful hip hop album and a unique collab between US [...]
I’d be lying if I said the Delorentos were my thing, but I respect the hard work they’ve put in to get where they are now (even if that includes spamming newsletter signups way back when). Even though I’d been aware of their music for about four years, I only heard a tune of theirs [...]
I hate The Hub. It really shouldn’t qualify as a venue at all. It’s got a small dancefloor, pillars and walls blocking the stage, it’s a weird oblong layout and sometimes it really smells like sillage. However, due to Whelans being closed this dark dank venue is where the Buck 65 gig was held so [...]
