New additions to electric picnic 8507 74
Started by stroller
Declan O Rourke, Audio Bullys and Bob Mould have all been added to Sunday's bill. I wouldn't mind seeing Bob Mould just to hear a few songs off Copper Blue but the other two are desperate.

Rufus last night... 1692 11
Started by MACgirl
what a show, opened with Agnus Dei with Rufus at the piano, diamante brooch sparkling and scarf thrown over his shoulder. His hair looked like it had a mind of its own and flopped around in time to the music. He played for well over 2 hours and did two or three encores. He had his band with him and mixed up the set with full band numbers and solo songs on the piano. Amazing. He sang Little Sister for Martha, Beauty Mark for Kate, Dinner at Eight for Loudon. Other songs that got an airing include...

Jack Johnson 1409 5
Started by Rev Jules
Lately, I've been listening to this guy after coming back from the beach following a spot of wave riding. If you like Ben Harper, you might like him, his music sounds just right after a few hours spent in the surf

Coldplay X & Y album review 1178 2
Started by Una
This review is a bit s**tty, just lyrics and 'sounds like' - but I think the person writing it just got to hear it once at an MTV listening session or some bulls**t. Anyway, for those of you who care...
'Overall the album is very A Rush of Blood to the Head-esque, with more pounding guitars and pianos, complex layering. Lots of discussion of discovery, repairing/fixing, and not being alone any more. Very personal album. At least one or two songs definitely about Chris Martin's daughter, Apple...

Explosions In The Sky 1065 8
Started by Antistar
Explosions In The Sky. Their first album 'Those Who Tell The Truth Shall Never Die' released in 2000 is the best album ever made. Buy it and anyone disillusioned with the somewhat stale, derivative nature of many of today's bands will rejoice at the sheer, redemptive power of (post) rock!!! Thank You.

The National - Alligator 1092 3
Started by Norman Schwarzkopf
Anyone picked this up
Not fully decided on it. Only had two full listens and I find it hard to remember most of the songs. Maybe it's a grower. 'Mr.November' is fantastic though. It's the one absolute standout.
Getting some rave reviews.

Started by maccor
http://www.radiocrackle.com - slots available (they dont have to be regular) though you must play unsigned bands (or those in a position to verbally/email agree to have their stuff played without copyright problems)
To DJ you just need Winamp (PC) or Audion (free mac app) plus some connection info. Theres a How To DJ Guide link up on the site - easy stuff

simple kid 1254 4
Started by themire
was watching some godawful californian reality show on mtv the other day, (malibu beach or something similar). Anyway, they played a simple kid song in it which surprised me because I didn't realise he had exposure in America. Would I be wrong in saying he doesn't get much media coverage in Ireland Anyone into what he's doing or seen him live

Ignorance Towards Other Genres 1236 16
Started by Gar
As a music fan, would you regard yourself as being ignornant towards genres of music that wouldn't be your favourite type This kind of relates to the music snobbery that was previously discussed and might elevate someone to being a music snob if they frown or spit upon other genres. Or does it
And is someone more likely to cling on to a specific genre the older they get eg. Someone who basically has a rake load of 80s glam rock in their collection but not much else Or are musicians making t...
