In Rainbows disc 2.

Dec 3, 2007, 5:52pm Thrill Pier

The In Rainbows discboxes started arriving in people's homes today and obviously disc 2 was immediately ripped by a number of people and put on the torrent sites. I'm in the middle of listening to it for the first time so I can't really make an accurate judgement on it but the general line of thinking seems to be "yeah, I can see why these didn't make the album". Here's one of the songs. MP3: Radiohead - Down Is the New Up from In Rainbows (bonus disc).

Dan Deacon - Whelan's - Dublin

Dec 3, 2007, 11:13am Thrill Pier

Were this a photo taken a litte while later I'd be standing beside Dan in it. Credit: The indie hour , shot by nialler9 Oh Christ, were do I begin? For a start it's now 5PM and almost 19 hours after Baltimore's finest took to the floor in Whelan's I still feel absolutely destroyed. The reason I missed Dan Deacon's first appearance in Dublin was due to illness on the night meaning that I was unable to clamber off of the couch while he was blowing the roof [...]

Aston Villa 1 - 2 Arsenal

Dec 2, 2007, 8:27am Thrill Pier

Who? Going into yesterday's game against Villa it never looked like it was going to be easy and that's how it turned out to be with Martin O'Neill's side providing Arsenal with the toughest league test they've had all season. The first half saw the gooners play some spectacular football but it was Villa who opened the scoring first after 14 minutes when the constantly dangerous John Carew knocked a great cross into the box. William Gallas got a touch to the ball but it fell to Craig Gardner who side footed [...]

An attempt to get people to go see Okkervil River next week.

Nov 30, 2007, 7:56am Thrill Pier

Okkervil River played Whelan's in May of last year. I went along not expecting to see much more than a vaguely folk tinged band with a bunch of really good songs play what I thought would be a nice gentle set. Boy was I wrong. They nearly blew the roof off the joint with Will Sheff, the band's bespectacled and bookish looking lead singer/main knife enthusiast, in particular revealing himself to be quite the wild man on stage. At least, he was as wild as anyone playing an acoustic guitar could be anyways. [...]

Great news

Nov 30, 2007, 6:31am Thrill Pier

I was so disappointed (more than was a reasonable amount) that I was going to have to miss Thurston Moore on Tuesday. However ... Due to the amount of people who contacted us saying they wanted to go to both Liars in Whelans and Thurston Moore in Tripod, which both take place next tuesday (december 4) ourselves and Pod concerts have made slight changes to the stage times of both performances to facilitate people seeing both shows. Thurston Moore will end at 10.30 and Liars will go on stage at 10.45. [...]

Sevilla 3 - 1 Arsenal

Nov 28, 2007, 9:11am Thrill Pier

Prick Well this is an odd feeling. Since I started this blog over the summer I've never had to write about a match that Arsenal lost. It's always a shit feeling but I suppose in context it could be far worse. For example a defeat in the Premiership rather than one in a Champions League group that we've already got out of. That's not to discount the importance of winning the group because I'd really rather we didn't face Barca or Inter in the second phase and now if we're [...]
