Spin South West 2162 7
Started by aidan
During my few weeks back in Eire (flying back to my CLUAS Foreign Correspondent post this Friday) I've found the new Spin South West and I like it. Of course, the talk shows are still awful (just like Spin Dubbalin) but they're obliged to have a percentage of talk content so we'll forgive them that.
What I especially like, though, are:
1) the dance/electronica DJs at the weekend
2) a Sunday morning show called 'Alt' which just plays new music by Irish bands (the show is in Irish, I...

Castlepalooza: Just don't get it. 3568 13
Started by Quint
Can anyone justify this clumsily titled festival John Meagher rubbished it on last Friday's Indo and he was spot on (as usual). They are charging 125 euro(!!!) for the weekend to see a host of mostly mediocre, many unheard-of, Irish indie acts, the type of band that might half-fill Whelans with their friends and a few fans at best.The Gorgeous ColoursRed KidSickboyAngel PierTu KiSteve ReddyStraglers

Neil Young 6116 19
Started by Peejay
Hot on the heels of a recent Neil Young album in the reviews section, I thought a wee chat about Neils stuff might be worth starting. I'm wondering what your favourite Neil album is He's one of those guys you can't really pin one classic album on. There's Harvest, the commercial breakthrough, but arguably not his finest effort. I like this album well enough but the sickly sweet side gets a little too much. Heart of Gold, Old Man…stuff like that. No surprise that James Taylor is on the album (b...

Both make me dive for the off switch as soon as they come on the radio. Both bands are bland, predictable, uninspiring & crap But it terms of miserableness, who do you think is the most depressing

Irish singer-songers go POP! 4323 19
Started by aidan
I was interested to hear how the new singles from Declan O'Rourke and Paddy Casey have both moved away from acoustic singer-songerness and have radio-friendly strings and synths and stuff... and it reminds me of David Kitt's album from last summer where he tried for an indie-pop sound too. And Damien Dempsey's new single is back to his 'Dubbalin Town' days!
So, is the Dublin acoustic singer-songer scene fading away - or is it just Declan O'Rourke and Paddy Casey trying to get more airplay...

Your favorite slice of POP from the last couple of months 5657 27
Started by Binokular
This is as much an excuse to see if I can figure out how to post gootube vidjos as anything else, but what's your fave slice of unashamed poptastic goodness from the last couple of months
For me, this has to rate pretty highly. From P. Diddy (of all people!), seems his time hanging aroung with DJ Hell and Felix Da Housecat hasn't been totally wasted. There's a very 'euro' feel to this I think. Shuffling beat and synth lines with just a hint of New Order / Kraftwerk.

HWCH 2007 4921 14
Started by benni
HWCH this year is to be based in the Pod Complex with the whole festival presumably taking place on the 3 areas available - Tripod, Crawdaddy and the Lobby bar. Different to the previous set up of gigs taking place in various venues around the city. could be cool - at least theres a lesser chance of someone having to play in the unforunate Rock Room in Spirit where I saw several good bands struggle with awful sound and set up.
So who do we think will be playing this year Hopefully a ...

Anyone see any of the Heats for Murphy's Live By all accounts, the bands were pretty good! The bands to make it through to the Semi-Final stage have been announced:

Anyone know anything about these bands I know of The Chapters & Superjimenez. Saw em at HWCH 06. Thought they were both very good, both rather dissimilar from what's out there at the moment. I like that!
Anyway...Hello, I'm Dolly - I was on t...
