Ciertamente (y afortunadamente) no estamos a mitad de la semana, cuando normalmente hacemos esto de las recomendaciones, sin embargo, nunca está de más conocer a una banda nueva, especialmente una tan interesante como ésta. Breton es el nombre de este grupo que nació como como tal en el 2010. Sus cuatro integrantes tienen su base en un viejo banco abandonado en South East London, donde han podido trabajar no sólo su música sino toda una experiencia multimedia que incluye la dirección de videos para gente como The Temper Trap , Sinead O'Connor y Tricky, además de filmes [...]

You may remember our extensive album preview interview with Breton earlier this year. We've followed the band for a while now and it's been a journey worth taking. Their debut LP, Other Peoples Problems, comes out on FatCat at the end of the month, and doesn't just deliver on their early promise it smashes it clean out of the water. By that we mean it's good. Very very good, indeed. Ahead of the albums release, the band release a brand new single, Interference, which comes arm-in-arm with this stunning video. It's our [...]
Verão: tempo para acordar sem o despertador, sem o alarme do telemóvel, a transpirar no quarto ou na rua, à espera que as águas do mar entrem pelo coração, como num movimento de sentido inverso ao normal. Pele escaldada pelo brilho da noite. Sem desnível. Depois do mar. Partilhe-se portanto esta proposta de vagarosa transpiração musical com mais uma lista de 19 temas remisturados/colados
Last week I described Cork XSW 2011 as my dream festival line-up and it did not fail to impress in any way. I loved everything from the line-up to the surroundings to the atmosphere and charm. I also loved how I got to hear possibly the best voice in Ireland ...... There really can't be a better location for a festival. Set in the Liss Ard estate the main stage took it's place downhill from the Liss Ard house with [...]

I read an article in passing the other week but I've not had the opportunity to post something in relation to it until now. Since this is tribute to the departed this week it is appropriate to do this now. This entry will be a sort of introduction/link to the next subject. Everyone I'm sure is familiar with what happened with Justin Fashanu . It was sad when his own brother, John Fashanu, shunned him after he came out. Plus [...]

first off, we'd like to second adrian's obsession picks this morning; justin vernon isn't the only one who thinks sarah siskind's "lovin's for fools" is the bee's knees. there's another song we've been listening to quite a lot of late, a song with which you're likely familiar, if perhaps unknowingly. there's a dinner party scene in the movie once during which glen hansard joins fergus o'farrell and the lads of interference for a kitchen table take on "gold" from their 2003 self-titled album . (the song also turns up [...]

While the big day is still a few days away, I wanted to share the following songs with you all while I had a chance. As some of you may know, Emily and I have been engaged since May 5, 2007 , and this saturday, June 14th, 2008, we will become husband and wife. After the ceremony we'll be heading off to Key West for a week of relaxation, umbrella drinks , and linen pants. But before we jet south for our week in the sun, we'll be having a blast at our reception. Of course we didn't [...]
Interference's Live In Dingle album was recorded live in 2003 at St. James Church in Dingle, Ireland for RTÉ's Other Voices: Songs From A Room. Once star and The Frames frontman Glen Hansard again... **Click on the link to read the full post, download mp3s, and comment.**
If you've seen Once, you've already heard the music of Interference. The Irish band sang with The Frames' Glen Hansard in the pub scene of Once and their song "Gold" also appears on the movie's... **Click on the link to read the full post, download mp3s, and comment.**
I know many of you will be reading this in 2008, but I promise this was posted in 2007. These are the Top 15 songs here at ThaBombShelter in 2007. Some I've written about before, others I haven't, others I just discovered this past weekend! Whatever the history between the song and myself, they are all great. Enjoy! #1 - " Gold " Interference Buy I was sitting at work one day when I realized this was the best song of the year. I sent Emily [...]

Well, June's almost over, which is crazy, but I have a handful of CD's I received this month that I really enjoyed. Some you've heard plenty about, some I've yet to even touch on. The latter is what this post is for. So without further adou, here's my favorite tunes I listened to in June. Once Soundtrack My favorite movie of the year, and by far favorite soundtrack of the year. Shoe in for the top 25 of the year, but it'll be tricky deciding where to put it since most songs are [...]

Mancino - Hetchie, Hutchie, Footchie Ben Lee - Begin Interference - Gold (from the Once soundtrack) The Ladybirds - The Brown and Red Divide Feist - 1, 2, 3, 4 (Vanshe Technologic Remix) The Postmarks - Goodbye Basia Bulat - Snakes & Ladders Flunk - Sit Down [...]

I've been listening to this amazing soundtrack pretty consistently for the past month or so, and when I first heard the opening strains of "Falling Slowly" in an email, I couldn't WAIT to see the movie. With a soundtrack this good, how could the movie be anything but? Thus, I was sadly disappointed to discover that the movie was on limited release (I hate you NYC and LA), with no news of more widespread distribution. Late last week, however, I was poking around DoneWaiting.com and stumbled upon this review of the movie. [...]
