Greetings music lovers... Ireland based music blog
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 [...]
“Who’s that old guy?”
Barry tells us about the Mystery Jets latest album.
Twenty One is the second album from London band Mystery Jets. This time around it sees them meet some of the potential touted a few years back, after what I felt was an ambitious but ultimately patchy debut in Making Dens.
This time [...]
Guilty Simpson has been featured on Stone Throw productions for the last five years and has been a regular on Detroit’s hip-hop circuit for longer than that. After appearances on cuts from J Dilla, Dabrye, Madlib and Percee P, he has finally released a debut entitled Ode to the Ghetto, his showcase album. Guilty is [...]
I set myself a challenge yesterday. A small one. I promised myself I would stay out long enough for El Guincho’s debut Irish show in Crawdaddy which was to start last night at 1am. I was already out at the Electric Picnic launch at 7pm, so after that it was upstairs in Whelans, where Adrian [...]

Belated Happy Paddy’s Day y’all! I spent the weekend off my tits on Guinness and recuperating from said-stout sessions in between bouts of SXSW updates and update-driven jealousy. I spent Paddy’s Day in the Guinness Storehouse for fucks sake! That place was the whirlpool of “Éire” over the weekend with shamrock-wearing tourists and [...]
Super Extra Bonus Party win the Choice Music Prize 2007.
I’m still in absolute shock. I woke up this morning to hear it all over the radio and see it in the papers which reminded me it actually happened.These lads are my best mates. I’m absolutely delighted for them obviously. A mate of mine and the [...]
Full credit to Gorilla vs. Bear for this one. I stole it because it’s so good.
Holy Fuck remixes MIA. I love it cos it appropriates MIA into the Holy Fuck sound and thus, becomes like a new offering from the band. Really looking forward to the gig!

MIA - Paper Planes (Holy Fuck Remix)
This is an album that I’ve been playing over and over throughout the last month but never got around to writing about. Partly, because of the equivocally unusual sound they make but also because All Hours Cymbals is an album that requires many repeated listens to grasp its core.
Following on from their Brooklyn neighboorhood peers [...]
For one night only last Thursday, Whelans turned into an amalgamation of sorority/fraternity parties usually seen across the Atlantic rather than on a grey December night on Wexford Street. The catalyst was the affable and hyperactive Gregg Gillis aka Girl Talk. The man is a complete loon - dressed in high-tops and looking like [...]
Owen Pallett was received quite reverentially from the seated crowd last night. I enjoyed the show immensely despite it not living up to the Electric Picnic set but that’s inevitable as it’s a hard task to transplant an audience in a festival mindset to a Dublin venue on a sit down post-work Tuesday night.
