The Ronson is coming

It's only a couple of days until dj/producer Mark Ronson & the Business Intl land in the Clarence Sligo. I'm very very excited about this. The novelty of seeing one of my musical heroes in my hometown.......turbo deadly!

It's a strange world we live in......

I heart photography!

It's been a while since I've blogged!

I've had a busy week this week. Have been getting ready for our college radio station which will be streaming live at 12 mid-day on Monday the 9th of March. Check out our Facebook.

Anyhoo apart from that I've had alot of fun with the social aspects side of life! ;)

I went to the Choice Music Prize in Vicar Street on Wednesday night. Such a fun night.

Jape took home the Irish Album of the Year 2008 prize, for his album "Ritual".

It was a great night of live music from Jape, Fight Like Apes, Halfset, RSAG, Mick Flannery, Messiah J & The Expert.

Two highlights of mine were Messiah J & The Expert playing "Jean Is Planning An Escape"

and Fight Like Apes tearing up the stage during "Jake Summers"

Also can't forget to mention Mick Flannery, he's like a young Tom Waits.

Where Was Your Mind??

It's strange the things you'll randomly find on youtube, like this Ballet Recital to The Pixies, "Where Is My Mind"!!

Ballet Recital.

Shake it like a ladder to the Sun!

Oh yes!!!! Yeah Yeah Yeahs are back with a bang!

"So get your leather, leather, leather on on on on"

I have been eagerly awaiting YYYs to release something since "Show Your Bones" and now the time has finally come.
YYYs new single "Zero" is bursting with Karen O's distinctive vocals. Allegedly the band are trying to steer their music in a new direction but this track is dosed with elements of classic YYYs that we love to hear.



YYYs new album "It's Blitz" will be released on the 13th of April 2009 and the trio will also be appearing at this years Oxegen Festival in Punchestown, Co. Kildare.

Also here's a very unique cover of "Maps" for all you YYYs fans.

It's all about Fever Ray.

Karen Dreijer of Swedish band "The Knife" has just released a self-titled solo album under her moniker "Fever Ray".

Her vocals are as stunningly eerie as they ever were with "The Knife" especially on her break through track "When I Grow Up"

Another great track to look out for is "If I Had A Heart", especially Familjen Remix

Myspace: Fever Ray

Fever Ray are definitely going to be huge in 2009.

Fever Ray Album is due out on March 18th 2009.
