Humanzi 11132 76
Started by Pilchard
Did anyone else read the Humanzi interview in the Sunday Tribune yesterday
Did anyone else think that your man's pre-occupation with what the Irish press thought of them and all the slagging they were getting on internet boards smacked of extreme paranoia
jeez, man, they need some chill pills as opposed to cheap speed
The interview is at tribune.ie but u have to register first (its free) to read it.

Mixed in with the trite there are some goldies. My favourite is Low's 'Just Like Christmas' which has the best sleigh bells ever put in a song. What's your favourite

Started by Antistar
Was anyone else here at Mark Kozelek last Wednesday at Whelans It was just a guy on a stage with an acoustic guitar but I think this could be one of the best gigs I've ever been to. During one song 'Ruth Marie' I even started crying!!!Can't stop thinking about it.

Too Obsessed with new bands and debut abums? 1628 3
Started by Binokular
Just something I've been feeling for a while, but was wondering what everyone else thought....
If theres possibly one trend in indie music in recent times, is that it seems there is a constant flow of new bands getting critical attention and even praise. OK this kind of thing has always gone on, but it just seems it's never been to the extent that it is these days, thanks in part to the internet. This isn't a bad thing, it's good that new bands get attention, but still....
..are we perhaps...

Worst band breakups for you, the fan 5984 31
Started by klootfan
So, I was walking home from work last night with the MP3 player on random and on pops a tune off of Ten Speed Racers first album.
This was a band that I thought could really make it ( we all have one dont we :) ). Turned out at pretty much all of their gigs in dublin if I was around and even caught a few gigs across the country.
So when they broke up, it kinda hurt a bit if you know what I mean. Now I hadnt lost my appetite to eat now are anything like that, but the thought of not seeing o...

Ireland's Best Festival Is Back 1444 10
Started by Gar
Yep, tickets for Electric Picnic 06 are on sale. And the news most of you were hoping for comes with it - it's a 3 day festival this year. 175 euro isn't a bad price at all. Wonder if the campsite will be bigger next time around, considering it will host an extra day. It all kicks off on Friday September 1st-3rd.
Would it be too early to start a wishlist or speculation of headliners/acts

Stones for Phoenix Park 1168 10
Started by klootfan
RTE entertainment have the Rolling Stones down for Phoenix Park on 18 August 2006.
Would this be one of those 'Got to seem before they die' gigs. Not a stones fan myself. In the sense that id listen to their music if it was on, but not pick up an album if I saw it in a shop.

Tapping The Source 1277 0
Started by Rev Jules
The missus was listening to Steve Earle on headphones recently and I was sitting on the couch but I thought she was listening to 'Old Macdonald Had A Farm'. When I found out the the actual track, it occured to me that prehaps every rockstar is trying, in their work, to mimic a favourite track from their youth. Over the last few months, in my limited free time, I have given this a bit of thought
and this is what I have discovered.
Gwen Stefani's work is inspired by 'Hey Micky' by Toni Bazil

Irish Managers - Who are the good ones? 1760 6
Started by thethirdplace
Never seen a post on this before and as we are about to enter the wonderful world of the band scene after rehearsing our butts off for a year I was wondering if anyone knows any managers in ireland of note Its probably way to early for us to be considering the management thing but thought it might make a good conversation piece as well. Obviously i am not talking about the likes of McGuiness and Co though they are obviously pretty good at their jobs but more the new manager scene
