If you were at the rather brilliant Brasilintime show in the Tivoli on Friday night, you may have heard J. Rocc drop this tune after the main event. Taken from an unreleased J Dilla album which was made for MCA Records, Pay Jay features rhymes by Dilla and production by the likes of Kanye [...]
The first line-up for Mantua Festival in Roscommon is out of the bag, and it’s now a three day festival. Here’s the names on the board so far:

I’m busy busy today so no time for any major enthusing (or internet memes either). I will say that State Issue 3 is out in print tomorrow (Thursday 1st May) featuring Gemma Hayes, Mick Jagger, Republic of Loose, Neon Neon, Jamie Lidell, Billy Bragg, Public Enemy, The National, Death Cab for Cutie, Daniel Lanois, Dan [...]
April’s podcast starts with the most bizarre medieval electro track you’ve ever heard. Seriously, you’ll be prancin’ about like the medieval minstrel from Monty Python’s The Holy Grail after two minutes. The rest of this podcast took 8 hours to prepare and then we let it marinate overnight. Presented by Aoife, it includes an exclusive [...]
So after all the furore about me “disliking all music“, I recovered enough from my emotional injuries and bruised ego to make two more shows in Andrew’s Lane Theatre. Friday for M83, Saturday for Why?. In short - I missed the first 20 minutes of the M83 gig as I was at a wedding in [...]
This tune is already going on the next podcast, but this version is soopurb!
Forget about the poor quality, she’s a star. Lykke Li owns this shizz.
Playing live tonight in Andrews Lane Theatre ( or ALT as they are calling it. See? ALTERNATIVE). So, after all my talk, I’m going.
Will the set be longer than 30 minutes?
Will they finally apologise for stealing their t-shirt artwork?
Will Una buy another t-shirt?
Will Justin make the gig?
Will the venue be finished for its [...]
Lyrics in post - Madvillian (MF Doom) - Accordion
I’m dumbfounded how good these mixes are. Brooklyn’s The Rub have compiled 21 volumes of hip-hop, one for each year from 1979 to 1999. It serves as an in-depth aural history of the genre. I’ve already heard about 4 tunes from 1992 I’d heard before, loved and [...]
There is a bookshop in Rathgar I pass occasionally. It has the opening hours marked on the door. Usually when I pass, it is a Sunday and the shop is closed. No Bernard Black hiding behind the curtain sneering at potential customers, just a simple, cute message printed on Sunday’s timetable - ‘Reading Time!’.
Similarly, [...]
