like nothing has happened we begin as we last were In late Mayo this Ano I came across this guys Dj Set in Pragues nightclub.... maybe it was the fact all my mates were either picking up or attempting too, or maybe it was the ganja in the system i dunno, but it was a set that i [...]
I stumbled across Northern Irish trio Two Door Cinema Club as the opening track on the latest Kitsune Maison 7 compilation with their latest single Something Good Can Work . The song is up-beat and catchy - perfect indie-pop. As I would later find out, the rest of their limited catalogue is just as good and should make for a worthwhile debut album in the not too distant future. mp3: Two Door Cinema Club - Something Good Can Work mp3: Two Door Cinema Club - Undercover Martyn [...]
After the June blog drought, we're back! My hectic music week has been spent catching up on all the latest releases as well as reflecting on some of Jacko's finer moments. Whatever your opinion may be on Michael as a person, the world has lost perhaps the greatest entertainer/artist of our time and it would be wrong of us not to leave a tribute. There were many memorable performances over the years, but the standout for me would have to be the first time he debuted the moonwalk at the Motown 25th Anniversary concert in 1983. Incredible.

Last week while attending Handsome Furs Berlin Bang Bang show I came across these guys who were also playing. Now normally I would always browse around at the support act however this occasion i didnt get around to it. I dont know what it was that caught my attention about these guys. Maybe it was the catchy riffs, or maybe it was the show that they put on swapping and changing between instruments and outfits, or maybe it was the fact that the 2 girls who make up half of the band [...]
"DANKOSCHON!" ( Quote Dan Boeckner) Just a few Pics from Handsome Furs Live gig @ Berlins Bang Bang Club. Playing without Alexie's normal Synth and Drum Machine this Husband Wife Due from Montreal Canada still preformed a Solid show that had its moments. UK Indie group Scanners opened proceedings and with an impressive performance, one to look out for in the near future.... Highlights from the Handsome Furs Sent [...]
As a music blogger, my existence depends upon this kind of golden discovery. And, as a recession statistic, my current well-being is totally reliant on hearing pieces of pure music brilliance such as this... The Middle East are a 6-piece out of Townsville, Australia. They've apparently been around for a while, but having recently signed with Spunk Records, they have just released their first EP, Recordings of the Middle East . Their music is in the same kinda folksy anthem mould of Arcade Fire, but it's the slower acoustic [...]
ROGUES (UK) Not So Pretty is the excellent first single from these talented Brits. Like the rest of the demos featured on their Myspace, the track has a very 80's sound, much like Duran Duran or Bowie but also has a resemblance to one of last years great bands, Foals. Not So Pretty is available as a limited edition 7" from Pure Groove here . There are no details for an album at this stage, but it shouldn't be too far away. Watch this space... [...]
"To the outside world we all grow old. But not to brothers and sisters. We know each other as we always were. We know each other's hearts. We share private family jokes. We remember family feuds and secrets, family griefs and joys. We live outside the touch of time." ~Clara Ortega [...]
The female duo from Brooklyn that is Telepathe have just released the video from their latest single "Chromes on It". Check it out Below.... MP3: Telepathe - Chromes [...]
I came across Norwegians Electro Dou DATAROCK'S latest effort 'RED' this week... I dont really know how it can happen an Album being leaked nearly 5 months before its intended release date. Surely tracks wouldnt be finished if that was the case?????? Anyway According to MusicRemedy [...]
Should I or Shouldnt I..... I dont like to nessasarily do it anymore but figured for those fellow bloggers who havent heard already..... The much anticipated debut ablum from the Massachusetts Lads Manners has been leaked online. This album is set to be one of the biggest for the year and cant wait see how much hype comes of it over the next the next 2 months. [...]
Should I, or Shouldn't I..... I don't like to exploit the fact that an album has leaked but this is an exception because as most blogger's will agree, this is one of the most anticipated releases of 2009, and I figured if i don't someone else will! Along with this I've also concluded that in the coming months ' Manners ' its going to cause massive hype everywhere, and its already started... There is zillions of blog posts everywhere about 'Passion Pits' rise to fame, and its a great story after [...]
This week it's pig flu, but not so long ago, that not-so-attractive Scottish lady who could actually sing was a world media headliner...Susan got me thinking about an old guilty pleasure - Les Mis. How many classic songs can one musical have? I Dreamed A Dream, Master of The House, On My Own, One Day More...and yep, my favourite Do You Hear The People Sing? Sooo, while checking out Susan for the 100th time on Youtube, I got a little lost in those videos on the side and found this gem... Aannd, after I [...]
DISCOVERY (NYC) As far as experimental electronic side projects go, I would have to rate The Postal Service as the absolute benchmark...and as there is sadly nothing coming from Ben Gibbard and Co. in the foreseeable future, Discovery could be closest to filling the void. Discovery are Ra Ra Riot frontman Wes Miles and Vampire Weekend keyboardist Rostam Batmanglij. They only have the two toons out at the moment, but early signs are good, and an album to be released some time this year will be worth checking out. Osaka Loop Line is the better one [...]
The 3rd track off Passion Pits Forthcoming Record ' Manners' has been leaked online and of the new tracks including 'The Reeling' & 'Little Secrets' its my favorite to date. Manners is due out first in the UK on May 18th [...]

Last nights Booka Shade's Concert at Tripod, Dublin has proven that the recession hasn't stopped Dubliners showing up in droves to dance the night away to some quality electro/house music. Walter Merziger Arno Kammermeier the German duo that are Booka Shade made their 2nd appearance to Dublin in just under 11 months and delivered another quality performance continuing their reputation as one of the best acts in the business. Doors opening at 11 saw a lineup that peaked about 150 meters just [...]
So there I was.... sitting in a university pub at 11pm listening hanging around shit people and more importantly listening to shit music... i thought to myself... i actually don't want to be here... Having just finished the novel 'Wolf on Wall Street' by Jordan Belfort, a Stokebroker from who turned made him self into a Billionaire in the space of 5 years from age 26-31... so i have 3 years left to find my niche! So in the meantime i decided while in the middle of a nothing conversation with a average looking girl [...]
