Por: cm Perry Blake atuou ontem, dia 10 de novembro, no auditório da Academia de Música de Espinho, pelas 21:30, acompanhado por Glenn Garrett , no baixo, e Phil Ware ao piano. Foi um concerto muito intimista, onde Blake revisitou os seus maiores sucessos musicais como "The Hunchback of San Francisco", "So Long" do seu álbum homónimo, e "Ordinary Day" do álbum "California", que em Portugal serviu de banda sonora a um anúncio publicitário. O pouco público presente na sala foi ainda presenteado com uma música ainda não [...]

Nope The Top 50 isn't the name of a new band although it's not the worse name for a band! It's the time of the year where for aesthetic purposes I list my top 50 Irish artists .... at the moment ... living in Ireland ..... who have released a single/album ..... and who pay me backhanders! Over the next 2 weeks [Monday - Friday] I'll be working up the list five acts at a time and telling the world why each [...]
Nearly a year ago to the day inspired by The Irish Times compiled best 50 Irish acts at that moment in time I posted my Top 50 of Irish Artists. The only stipulation was that the artist had to gig or release an album in the last 12 months prior to the compiled list. My choices last year were based on bands and artists who I connected with at the time. 1. The Swell Season/Frames/Glen 2. Terry Sutton 3. Martin Finke 4. Pony Club 5. Lisa [...]

My New Year's Wish is [apart from world peace, no loss, health and well being] that I continue being inspired to write about the vast vault of excellent music this country produces! Just like writing about Perry Blake who is huge in France but sadly not well known in Ireland!

![Declan DeBarra - A Fire To Scare The Sun [Album Review]](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/1953543_lg.jpg)
Here's some background info from Declan's bio: "In 2008 I recorded "A fire to scare the sun" in the same abandoned room I recorded my first album. I would love to say it was an easy process but it was like pulling teeth with rusty pliers and then shoving them back in again after dipping them in salt. Paralysis by analysis. Sometimes you have to say "Fuck it, it is what it is...shut the fuck up and play". So after months of agonizing over this word and that note I just went in and played. I let [...]
As someone with the most basic music talents it really does feel great to be the creator of something you know will be amazing. We believe we have three nights of great music lined up! Here's a taster of the line-ups! Venue: Boyles, Slane Time: 9pm Admission: Free June 4th The Launch Night Star Crossed Enemies July 2nd Perry Blake August 6th

Perry Blake will be back touring this Summer across Europe and will release an updated version of his last studio album entitled 'Folks Don't Know'. If we can get Perry Blake to play 'The 2UIBestow Sessions' in Slane it will please me no end! In fact Perry is the perfect act we like promoting on the blog. He has had many fine albums with only moderate sales in Ireland however Perry sells out big shows in Europe and in particular in France. Maybe his next album will be called 'Folks Know Now'! Perry Blake - Pretty Love [...]

Just like most things Glen Hansard does, the relationship split from Marketa Irglova has arrived into the public domain in a very low key way. He recently answered a question from an Australian journalist stating ..... ..... "We had made the film. We had gone through so much with the Oscar. Of course, we fell into each other's arms. It was a very necessary part of our friendship but I think we both concluded that that wasn't what we really wanted to do. So we're not together now. We are just really good friends." ...... .....

I mentioned in my lists of the year a few weeks back that Perry Blake simply has to get the recognition he deserves in his home country in 2009. Perry is about to release his 8th studio album entitled "Folks Don't Know" and take it from me it's brilliant. A concise little biography of Perry Blake is below from that wonderful resource wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/P erry_Blake Perry is moderately successful in France where his debut went top 40 and he has been awarded a variety of songwriting awards. Remember that [...]

Heath Ledger ölmüş. CNN koca puntolarla haber verdi. James Dean mitosu, bu gece haberiyle yıkıldı. O, benim için son yılların en iyi oyuncusuydu. Anısına: Perry Blake - 1971

2007 müzik adına çok azgın bir yıldı. Yeni isimler, eski efsanelerin dönüşü ya da batışı, bilgisayar kökenli dans müziğinin yükselişi, ortaya dökülen onca isim falan derken erken boşalmalar ve tatminler arasında gidip geldik. Fakat bu senenin olayı, ateşli Suede günlerini ve Britanya'yı pas geçip kişisel arayışlara yönelen Brett Anderson ve ilk solo albümüydü. Müzik basını taktir etmesin, biz dinleyiciler de birer eleştirmeniz, Anderson rutubeti ve gözyaşlarıyla kimilerimizin kanının tersine, kalblerimize doğru akmasını sağladı. 1988 yılında ölen Nico'nun peşpeşe çıkardığı ''Marble Index'' ve ''Desertshore'' u ve bu klasikler döneminde kaydedilmiş demo/farklı versiyonları da içeren toplama [...]
