Choice Music Prize shortlist Jan 10... 3152 14
Started by aidan
I see that the shortlist for the Choice prize will be announced on 10 January and the prizegiving ceremony will be on 28 February:
http://www.imro.ie/newstastic//news.phpitem=9486
Any suggestions for what SHOULD be on the shortlist From browsing through what the rock writers have been praising in their end-of-year pieces, the whole prize looks like a two-horse-race between Fionn Regan and The Immediate.... but as a singer-songer (Julie Feeney) won it last year, will a rock grou...

Quiet start to the music year.... 3340 15
Started by stephen
So what's going on out there!
I heard great things about the Hold Steady. But they are nothing more than an above average bar band, no! I haven't heard of a decent record in months.
Please CLUAS, help!

Drawing From The Tradition 2153 6
Started by Learphol
What role, in such a commercial environment, does the music of our country have to today’s recording artists Irish music, taking many guises including folk, traditional, country, rock and more recently ‘indie’, has enjoyed great success stemming from an upsurge in interest over the past 40 years, using the facilities of an international market.
Many artists can claim to draw from the rich tradition of Irish music, but those who have been most successful have all conformed to the demand...

What was the best tune of 2006? 2318 11
Started by Binokular
What do you reckon was the best song of 2006 Can be a single or an album track or an unreleased demo or some random MP3 you found, doesn't matter. Rather than the usual drill of starting a thread like this by posting what I reckon is cool, I just wanna know what you all think and why. You can only pick one track though. No 'honorable' mentions. Nail your colors to the mast dammit!

2.Lupe Fiasco - 'Food & Liquor'
3.Cat Power - 'The Greatest'
4.Final Fantasy - 'He Poos Clouds'

Myspace in trouble 2731 9
Started by comet
Universal Music, the group which owns, alongside others, Polydor, Fiction, Island and Def Jam is suing social networking site, Myspace.
The label is claiming that:
'The foundation of MySpace is its so-called 'user-generated content.' However, much of that content is not 'user-generated' at all. Rather, it is the 'user-stolen' intellectual property of others, and MySpace is a willing partner in that theft.'
The industry behemoth is suing Myspace for $150,000 per infringement (which, when c...

Spencer Krug 2217 6
Started by The_Pen15
Something I've always thought is how weird it is that his music projects are so relatively famous. I mean I love Wolf Parade and Sunset Rubdown by all accounts, but I don't see how he has such an audience when the music isn't really that accessable. Maybe thats just my perception, I don't know. Just wondering how you perceive his stuff. Anyway carry on children!

Started by klootfan
Just bought a new music magazine in Easons.
Its called Play Music ( Get Involved )
Its issue 3 at this stage. Seems pretty decent, free cd on the cover.
Worked out at €6.68 which was a tad expensive considering the UK price is only £3.50
Anyway, along with the usual gig reviews, and album reviews, there is an emphasis on new unsigned bands such that half the tracks on the give away cd are unsigned bands.
Anyway, ive yet to give it a full read, so ill report back when ...

Hi folks, sorry for the shameless plug, but if anyone is watching TV or happens to turn on Youre a Star, my little brother Alan is one of the contestants. I think hes singing 'Dont let me Down' by the Beatles. Hes hoping if he gets through this round he can start playing original songs. Anywho, if you like the sounds of him, vote for him and all texts msgs will be rewarded with happy thoughts from myself.
