Greetings music lovers... Ireland based music blog
U:mack presents one of my favourite electronic acts live in Crawdaddy. Plaid receive regular plays in our house, most notably Double Figure and Spokes. The last time I caught them was the DEAF festival when they had the robot-arm camera visual thing alongside visuals by Bob Jaroc. 2008 is the duo’s 20th year working together [...]
Should be OK now though. If you see anything broken or funny happening, do let me know. Ooh scary..
In other news, nialler9 was longlisted for Best Blog, Best Music Blog, Best Designed Blog and Best Post (two entries).
Unfortunately, one of the best posts was the only overtly negative thing I’ve written all year though [...]
State has the relevant deets on the Choice Music Live event. Who’s playing, who’s presenting etc.
Cadence Weapon comes back to Dublin to promote the rather fantastic After Party Babies on February 22nd. It’s a late-show in Crawdaddy and he’ll be joined by disco pop chick Ebony Bones. €14

I’ve been getting excited about this as it will be the first time I catch a live Boxcutter set.
Stasis Collective present Boxcutter in 4 Dame Lane on the 22nd of February. The set will consist of a live 3-Piece Band (Drummer / synths / sampler / guitar) booming on a €6,000 rig. Boxcutter, known [...]
Superb psychedelic video from Brooklyn’s MGMT taken from their album Oracular Spectacular. They have a slightly kooky reputation confirmed by their website biog (“MGMT is celebrating the grand re-opening of the third eye of the world” apparently.) But any video which features interstellar surfing, a giant house-cat and tribal gear is a winner in [...]
Finally, the cat is out of the bag and other such clichés.
Last May, I was contacted by Phil Udell regarding a new Irish music magazine he and others were in the beginnings of setting up. I met up with Phil, John Walshe and other contributors. It all sounded very exciting and I agreed it was [...]
South Rakkas taking over Caribana float, Toronto.
Some old, some new as always. Hip-hop from Staten Island and er.. Kilkenny, remixes from South Rakkas crew and Modeselektor, uplifting indie from Brooklyn; Irish, Welsh and German electronica and some songs culled from lovely ska, reggae, tropicalia and funk compilations. Thanks to Aoife Mc as always for presenting. [...]
Or how The City Channel finally justified its existence…
I saw this video on the channel tonight. Along with Adele, Santogold, Vampire Weekend and The Ting Tings, Laura Marling featured in BBC’s Sound of 2008 poll. Just 18 years old, “Ghosts” is a great introduction to her craft.
