Calexico : Red Blooms

Calexico :  Red Blooms Their new album 'Carried to Dust' can be hard going at times but overall is a good album. There's a few really strong tracks balanced out by a few duds. They're playing Tripod tomorrow night and tickets are still on sale for €28. They've got some really good albums already under their belt so it should be a good show. This is one of my favourite tracks off the new album MP3: Calexico - Red Blooms Official Site MySpace

Why He's The Boss - Magic Tour Highlights

Bruce Springsteen & the E Street Band - Backstreets~8-18-08
Springsteen has wrapped up his nearly year long 'Magic' tour and has performed some of the best shows of his career during the course of the tour. I've been lucky enough to have seen 7 shows on the tour and each one was fantastic. I've put together a small compilation mp3 album of some of the songs that I feel best sum up the tour and others that were just great performances. The tracklisting is: 1. Then She Kissed Me 2. Radio Nowhere 3. Trapped 4. 4th of July, Asbury Park (Sandy) 5. Something In The Night 6. [...]

Review: The Killers, The Academy, Dublin - 20th August 2008

Spaceman - The Killers - Highline Ballroom 7/29/08
It's hard to imagine the Academy hosting a better gig than The Killers last night. A fantastic performance matched with brilliant quality sound made for a great evening. Opening with For Reasons Unknown followed by Somebody Told Me was a perfect way to start the concert. There were many highlights over the course of the show, with all three albums well represented. For me, the high points were Bones, When You Were Young, Tranquilize, Under The Gun and the two new songs, Spaceman and Neon Tiger. Spaceman in particular is definitely one of the best songs they've written so far [...]

The Mary Janes

Mic Christopher - Troubadour (Leargas Tribute) Part 3
The Mary Janes are often forgotten in discussions of great Irish bands, with the success of lead singer Mic Christopher's subsequent solo career until his untimely death, taking the limelight. Personally, I'd rate their 1998 album 'Sham' as one of the great Irish records. I always preferred Mic fronting this rock band than the more acoustic style of his solo record, even though 'Skylarkin' is a fantastic album too. 'Sham' is great from start to finish and an essential purchase if you can find it, which isn't easy to do although you can get their excellent debut album [...]

New Conor Oberst Video - Souled Out

"Souled Out!!!"  Conor Oberst and the Mystic Valley Band
Been listening to Conor Oberst's new album the last couple of days and been mightily impressed. I was a bit sceptical when he dropped the Bright Eyes name for the record but there was no reason to fear. A really strong set of songs, it's well worth picking up. Here's the video for 'Souled Out' off the album.
