Nialler9 Irish albums of 2009 poll results

Photo by Rich Gilligan.
Below you will find the fourth annual countdown of the top 30 Irish albums as voted by readers and commenters of this blog. There are some surprises in there to me. The number one album on the list actually won by a fair few votes. In a year where there was no clear favourite, it’s interesting to see such an album top the list. A few of the albums charted quite highly considering they were only released in the last month or so.

Anyway, I hope you discover something from the list you had dismissed or not heard before (I know I have). A full list of the songs and albums are available in a Google Document at the end of the post (might be worthwhile for the bands featured to see what songs struck a chord with people). The last two years winner has gone on to win the Choice Music Prize. Will it be three in a row? Merry Christmas everyone and thanks for stopping by throughout the year. More..»

State Midnight Mass tonight

statemidnightmass State.ie is holding a little get together tonight for anyone who’d like to come down and harass our writers and photographers for what we’ve done this year (Let’s keep it festive though yeh?). It’s taking place in the Shebeen Chic on Georges Street from 8;30pm – 1:30pm and it’s FREE.

As it says on the poster, we have DJ sets from the State Massive, Loreana Rushe, Messiah J (sans The Expert), Niamh from Ham Sandwich and Gav from Super Extra Bonus Party.

There’ll also be a Lucky CD dip and prayers of the faithful by Love Music Hate Racism. We’d love to see you there. If you haven’t seen it already here are State’s Top 50 albums of the decade with our albums of 2009 to follow next week. Last year was brilliant and I got to play this Christmas classic…

Super Extra Bonus Party Delorentos remix & Comets MP3

This Friday night sees Super Extra Bonus Party take over the Academy from 8pm to 2am for a headline show along with four other great Irish bands: Heathers, BATS, Le Galaxie and Band On An Island and DJ sets after from IStandConnected (a mix is here).

Joining SEBP on stage on the night will be MC Rodrigo Teles in his last ever performance with the band along with Heathers. I’ll be doing visuals too so that’s my DOI. Tickets are €17.50 – you can buy em here.

Gavin from the band recently turned in this disco-stomping version of Delorentos’ S.E.C.R.E.T that I rather like. Check it.

And here is the rather wonderful poptastic collaboration with Heathers which you can hear live on the night as well as in the video below from The Cafe on RTE last week. Available for a limited time only.

Listen to Super Extra Bonus Party’s Night Horses

The excellent Night Horses has been out a couple of months now and now you can listen to it in full below. If you’ve been listening to the radio at all lately, you will have heard ‘Comets’ the poptastic tune featuring Heathers. SEBP are playing Castlepalooza main stage next Saturday at 9pm. Music videos and 7 inches are also possibly forthcoming.

Disclosure: I do visuals and artwork layout for the band.

2009’s best & overlooked albums so far

clues It’s July 1st, the mid-point of the year, a good time to reflect on what we’ve been offered musically so far in 2009. There’s been some stonkers like Grizzly Bear, Animal Collective and Fever Ray but you know about them already. I’ve listed my ten obvious favourite records of the year so far and then fifteen overlooked ones (with MP3s) you should definitely check out. Obviously “overlooked” is not exact science but generally, these are records you would like to see get more attention in the remaining six months of the year.

I left out a couple of newer albums like White Denim’s Fits and Paul White’s The Strange Dreams of because they are relatively new and I haven’t listened to them enough to place them here as much as I like them. There are a few others like Black Milk, Ribbons, Solid Gold which were actually last year officially but check them out anyway because they are amazing. Here we go..

Theoretical Girl – Rivals (Super Extra Bonus Party remix)

theoretical

The Boners just completed this remix of Memphis Industries artist Theoretical Girl, who incidentially I had down as one of my ones to watch this year.

This remake takes the original’s girl-to-girl bitchiness set to a pleasant indie backing and turns it into something which occupies the space between electronica and dub. Kinda reminds me of Skream’s In For The Kill remix though not as EPIC. You can buy the original 7″ here.
