Are we retreated to an iWorld ? 1091 6
Started by admin
Any iPod / iRiver wielding technophiles out there might want to read this article. It's by Andrew Sullivan who, through his regular enough (and mostly... political) column in the Sunday Times, has never failed in extracting (from me at least) reactions ranging from utter rage to considerable respect. An often intriguing character, he was an unapologetic Bush-supporter for the first years of the Dubya's first term and then he went and endorsed Kerry. Anyway his latest column steers clear for once of..

Rice Watch 1423 19
Started by Rev Jules
Rice Cakes has been at it again.
This time, he is rumoured to be dating Renee Zellweger.
'Renee and Damien have been seeing each other for a while and... they`re both really happy,' an insider has revealed. 'They share a mutual love of music and both are very deep thinkers. Renée is pretty intense and Damien is something of a poet so they`re the perfect match.'
Well, in my opinion, only one of them loves music. Guess who
As for poetry, can someone please tell me what, 'Stones taught ..

Whats your favourite music related tshirt 2064 23
Started by klootfan
As a regular gig goer you tend to pick up tshirts here and there at gigs...
So folks... what is your favourite music related tshirt and why
For me,... My mic Christopher tshirt holds special meaning for me, and i rarely ware it to preserve it.
My final straw snow patrol tshirt is a fav as well. Bought on the night of the album launch for about 12 yoyos. These days the band are charging about 25/30 for tshirts but that is largely out of their control and they have in the past apologised ..

New Reviews. 1252 3
Started by Unicron
Just wanted to say in my opinion the reviews of Joanna Newsome and Arcade Fire are spot on, well done to the reviewers.
I think Gar was slightly harsh... on the Bright Eyes album, it's a little bit better than that in my opinion but I'd agree in the most part with what he wrote.

Embarrasing music tastes of co-workers 4317 38
Started by klootfan
Im fortunate to work in an industry where i can listen to music while in work. These days i use my mp3 player, but in the past it wouldnt have been strange... to see a stack of cd's on my desk in work.
Anyway, my co-workers are the same, and of course, having an interest in music, i tend to look through other peoples collections from time to time.
Anyway, have any of the rest of you experienced similar work scenarios and if so, how embarrasing are their collections.

Bands Breaking Out Of Ireland 5175 36
Started by Norman Schwarzkopf
A very broad topic I know, but Im interested in different opinions on why so few Irish bands manage to get anywhere outside this country.
My fairly ill-informed... guess is that
a) there's next to no media outlet (TV & radio)
b) a lack of drive in many cases where bands & artists seem content to be local celebrities
c) no Irish equivalent of NME hyping new bands, for better or worse.
I'm pondering a project and I need opinions.
