Destacados artistas se unieron, convocados por la organización antinuclear Global Zero , para sacar un álbum a beneficio : Sting, Sinead O'Connor y Robert Downey Jr son algunos de los nombres que participarán en la iniciativa. Todo lo recaudado ira a parar a las arcas de la organización que lucha por el desarme. El disco tendrá por titulo Prayer Cycle 2: Back to Zero e incluria, entre otras cosas, una inedita grabación de Jim Morrison recitando un poema de su autoria, "Moonshine Night". Además de los mencionados, miembros [...]
Not sure what I was thinking when I planned to write and post this week's feature from the midst of a Disney World vacation. Though we're spending the week a wonderful house in a gated community just off site, instead of quiet nights by the pool, we've been dropping early, utterly exhausted after nine-hour days in the parks and dinner in one or another of Downtown Disney's famous upscale restaurants. To be fair, we've made the most of our time in the Mouse House. Having an event planner for a [...]
Nothing Compares to You (by Pia) Als je goed, luistert, en oké, vooral ook als je het weet, kun je in gedachten Prince zelf dit nummer horen zingen. Nothing Compares 2U, de hit die we allemaal kennen van Sinead O'Connor is een ware classic op zichzelf. Het had daarnaast ook een classic in het rijtje van Prince kunnen zijn, want hij schreef dit nummer dus, voor zijn funk project The Family. (Ja, daar heb ik ook nooit van gehoord. Toch eens aan mijn ouders vragen). Maar hoewel Prince terecht voor veel van zijn eigen nummers de [...]
I'd like to take this opportunity to wish you all a Happy St Patrick's Day. My own name is Pat, my late father's was Paddy and my youngest nephew is called Patrick. So, here are a few songs from Irish singers about Pats, Paddys and Patricks as well as one "sung" by a Pat. I'm [...]
Tomorrow is International Women's Day 2010. It is, according to the event's website , "a global day celebrating the economic, political and social achievements of women past, present and future". The day has been celebrated for over a hundred years and is actually a public holiday in many countries, including China, Russia, Bulgaria and Vietnam. It's not a holiday in Ireland but there are a lot of events taking place to celebrate the day, which you can read about here . The University of Limerick is hosting an International Women's Day Conference entitled "Women & Recession: [...]
Tomorrow, the 82nd Academy Awards ceremony will take place in Hollywood. This annual shindig is a huge marketing tool for the film industry and is a chance for members of the Academy to tell each other how great they all are. In the US, the large number of independent and low-budget films that have been nominated for Best Picture over the last few years has also led to a drop in TV viewers (and advertising revenue). I would argue that a deterioration in the quality of films coming out of Hollywood over the last few years may be the actual [...]
Much has been made in Sinead O'Connor fan circles and the pop music press about the controversy-courting singer's decision to revive her self-shelved career with a disc of reggae covers. After the critical breakthrough that was 2002's Sean-Nos Nua, an album of traditional Irish tunes artfully reimagined, a jaunt through Jamaica carried the whiff of a stunt--there she goes banging the drum of

Oklahoma’s Evangelicals had one of our favorite LPs last year in ‘The Evening Descends,’ so with that we asked front man Josh Jones to DJ our Friday Ten this week. The bar was set pretty high last week with Nicole Atkins’ DJ turn, but Josh has come through with flying colors. Rather inspired and diverse colors, I might add: "On our way to Kansas City from Denver earlier this evening, and while dj'ing from the passenger seat, I momentarily fell asleep and dreamt that it was me [...]
Cette fois, les années 1990, j'ai connu. Le choix a donc été encore plus difficile que pour les 3 décennies précédentes , à tel point que je n'ai pu me contenter de 21 morceaux. Ce sont donc bien 33 chansons qui composent cette playlist des indispensables pop de la décennie 90, une décennie marquée par la mort de Kurt Cobain , les assassinats de Biggie Smalls et Tupac Shakur , l'affrontement médiatique d' Oasis et Blur et la pire horreur qui est jamais sali la musique : les boys-bands. À côté des [...]
It's been a long time since I made a mix so here is an Easter Mix. All of these tunes are reflective and thought-provoking on this important religious holiday. The Frames - Sideways Down Duke Special - Those Proverbs we made in the Winter Must End Cornerstone [Peadar King] - Wanted Something Katell Keineg - O Seasons Cara Dillon - Standing On The Shore Lunasa - Absent Friends [...]
This amazing gig in The Acadamy could quite possibly be the most advertised gig in Ireland ever! The line-up is wonderful and to be honest almost all acts appearing could easily fill the venue by themselves. However this is a covers night for charity where we can expect songs by David Bowie, The Rolling Stones and Bob Dylan sung by our best Irish artists and Fun Loving Criminals. In celebration of this gig I have a cover by the headliner Sinéad O'Connor. Sinéad has sung songs by Kurt Cobain, Cole Porter, Lee Perry and of course Prince who penned the [...]
You know the one - "Two little boys had two little toys, each had a wooden horse..." . Most people of a certain age in the UK, will know it as a 1969/1970 Rolf Harris hit, successfully covered in 1980 by Splodgenessabounds. What I didn't know, was that Kenny Rogers & The First Edition did a version on their '71 album - Transition, or that the song was written, twice... over one hundred years ago. This tune first surfaced in 1903, and was a popular recording by Billy Murray. Edward Madden wrote the lyrics, [...]
I hate Monday's, I think that's prety well established. Like many people in our fine country, I am struggling to make ends meet in this fucking economy , jobs are drying up, bills are piling up, and my hope is giving up. I am usually an optimist but Monday's bring out the pessemist in me something awful. Thank god for riding, music and my family and friends, or I'm pretty sure I'd be [...]
"I do not approve, but I must not pretend to misunderstand" - Eamon de Valera Richard Dunne and Joseph O'Sullivan after their arrest 1922 Within just six months in the early 1920s a small part of Knightsbridge was the location for couple of events that without doubt changed the course of Ireland's history. Firstly, in December 1921 at 22 Hans Place, a treaty was signed between a provisional Irish Government and the British to create what [...]
Sinéad O'Connor - Jump in the River label: Chrysalis jaar: 1988 kant a: Jump in the River kant b: Never Get Old www.sineadoconnor.com | www.myspace.com/sineadoconnorm usic "This is for all the beautiful brown boys", kondigde Sinéad "I Want Your (Hands on Me)" aan op Pinkpop 1988. Plots voelde ik mijn Indische roots weer opkomen en werd ik op slag twee tinten bruiner. Ik stootte mijn buurvrouw aan en zei "die is voor mij. Voor mij!" Ze bekeek me smalend van [...]
Troy - Sinéad O’Connor 1998 - Pinkpop Festival - Landgraaf, Netherlands With apologies to Il Papa , this is one of about a handful of songs that gives me chills every single time I listen to it.
Friday, June 13, 2008 The problem with posting songs in advance (even two of them) is that there is no way to be sure what any given day will hold and, therefore, whatever song(s) I chose in advance will almost always turn out to be wrong for the day. "Bouncing Off Clouds" fits our family's frantic Friday of travel. A day of rushing, waiting to rush, and rushing some more, through airports, on taxis, to resorts. Fast, fast, fast. And all of this fastness culminated in my travel purse [...]
Sinead O'Connor: Scorn Not His Simplicity [ purchase ] Universal Mother is the last Sinead O'Connor record that I liked at all, and I didn't even like it all that much. It is a bit of a spotty album containing, on the one hand, a couple of the best songs she has ever written (e.g., John I Love You) and on the other some real throw-away tracks (e.g., Fire In Babylon, Red Football). The featured track is a sweet little song about a child [...]
Sinéad O'Connor has never been afraid to open her scars and sing what's inside.
