I am a big Twilight fan. Huge. I read each of the four books in less than three sittings and saw the films multiple times in the cinema. And I bought them on DVD. Edward Cullen should be my boyfriend. Fact. I am also a big fan of the saga's soundtracks. So far they have included some great songs by some fantastic acts, including Muse , Linkin Park , Iron & Wine , Death Cab For Cutie , Lykke Li , Thom Yorke , The Killers , Editors [...]

This past Saturday it was raining like the Dickens here in the City of New York, and finding myself confined to the Train Station I set out to find some songs to complement the mood. Armed with only my laptop and a little helping of melancholy I decided it was ...

The sixth instalment of Electric Picnic takes place this weekend in Stradbally, County Laois. It began as a one-day fest in 2004 and I attended it in 2005 when it turned into a two-day festival. I saw some great acts that year such as Kraftwerk, the Flaming Lips, Mercury Rev, Nick Cave and Toots & the Maytals. The atmosphere was very relaxed and the crowd was nice and chilled out. It's been a three-day event since 2006 and is still a big draw. I would have loved to have gone this year, but I'm a bit light of [...]

This might just be my post of the year. 20 songs from 24 artists (remixes double it up) who appear at Electric Picnic this year clocking in at 63 minutes. This mixtape has some of my favourite music of the year contained within it, mixed to the best of my ability in under six hours and you don't even have to be going to the festival to enjoy it. The second half properly kicks off. It's available as the latest podcast too. Micachu - Lips (Clark Kunt's Heavy Mental remix) [...]

Friday After last years vista-tastic event out by the docks , Beatday have found a perfect spot for this year’s event in Copenhagen’s Valby Park. It’s a beautiful sunny day too and the festival area is surrounded by enormous trees and the sea. The Danish band Choir of Young Believers who have already had a Fleet Foxes comparison thrown at them, open the festival. Jannis Noya Makrigiannis and the seven band members he chose for this gig gave a noisier concert than expected but Makrigiannis’ buttery voice could easily be heard through the guitar [...]

I'm not sure what got me thinking about hand claps or why I have such a soft spot for songs that feature them, but I think it's got something to do with the inherent invitation for crowd participation, or maybe it's just relying on such an organic and fundamental mode of percussion to drive the song. These are some of my favorite songs to incorporate hand claps in ways that are instinctive and sincere, rather than gimmicky: "I'm Good, I'm Gone" - Lykke Li (mp3) [...]
