Enjoy. : THEESatisfaction - Enchantruss (Featuring Shabazz Palaces) : I've never spent much time with Shabazz Palaces (or any of their cohorts), so I can't say I [...]
Filed under: News , Monthly Mixtape Flickr What happened to February 2012? It didn't even snow in New York City, which by our calculations is one of the 10 pillars of the apocalypse. And with Rick Santorum nearing the Republican Party presidential nomination, we have retreated within our headphones to wait around for the nuclear fallout. So head down to your basement and unplug from the world around you by checking out these 29 great [...]

It's September and Autumn (fall to the Devil's American readers) is making it's presence felt. The leaves are starting to fall from the trees, the birds are making plans for their winter holidays and the nights are drawing in. What better way to commemorate the end of summer and the start of the season of mists and mellow fruitfulness than some autumn related tunes. Go Try Autumn Leaves by The Best Pessimist [...]

I'm on Fire (Bruce Springsteen cover) by TheDirty9s I heard this cover live on Friday night when The Dirty 9s played Boyles of Slane and it was immense.

Autumn Owls – The Button Factory The nature of the Hard Working Class Heroes festival means that there are always going to be bands who fall victim to an unfortunate scheduling slot. Dublin band Autumn Owls early-evening gig in The Button Factory may have failed to draw in the masses, but that didn't stop them from putting on a fine show for those who did make it along. The first half of the set is a very sombre affair - all moody and atmospheric, with The Button Factory's impressive smoke 'n' lights set-up working to [...]

Given my total absence from this blog over the past three weeks, I don't suppose it'll be any surprise to hear that I didn't have time to contribute to this month's MAP either. So for the second month in a row, my England contribution comes ghostwritten by MAP organiser Jason ...

A list of recommended events taking place over the next seven days in Dublin. Yeasayer (somehow pictured) is the big gig for me this week.

Loreana is putting on an interesting night of Yacht Rock on Thursday while a few of gigs are happening I was completely unaware of this morning: Fake Blood, Boy 8-Bit and Crystal Fighters. Wretch-rock purveyors Xiu Xiu play on Saturday. [...]

Ha llegado un nuevo volumen del mix-tape global , 35 países, 35 blogs y 35 canciones, el radar más grande de la mejor de 35 países. Mi historia con Rafo De La Cuba empezó con una recomendación, una que quizá tardé en asimilar, ya que lo que se encuentra en la red sobre este genial compositor es algo escaso, aunque no difícil de encontrar cuando sientes que luego de escuchar algunos samples en su MySpace el vicio es inevitable. No hay estilo definido en su música, es simplemente el tocar por gusto, sin [...]
This month's whothehell.net's entry for the MAP has been selected by Matt Hickey ARGENTINA : Zonaindie Eloisa Lopez - Espiral This is one of Zonaindie's favorite tracks from 2009. It was taken from Eloisa's third album, Por Un Paisaje. Maybe we like her so much because she manages to elegantly combine acoustic textures with native South American percussions and digital sounds. Espiral is a great [...]
