I bought the ‘If I Had a Heart’ vinyl over the weekend. It has a Fuck Buttons remix on the B-side. So this video really should just be a woman who has used an infant’s crazy paints wobbling on a diving board but it’s not because of it has “a director”. His name is Martin [...]

It's like a blogger meetup except you won't be allowed to respond to anything in less than 140 characters. Lame joke. I'll be DJing for a bit at Dublin Twestival tonight in the Sycamore Club along with Una, Rick and Brian. Andrew Stanley promised he will make people laugh too. Tall order. It's in [...]

Is this Nathan Williams? I was pleasantly surprised by the Wavves gig last night. A fairly busy Upstairs in Whelan's witnessed the Dublin debut of Nathan Williams and his drumming cohort for a 40 minute performance of tunes culled from the Wavves and Wavvves albums. On record, the songs are scuzzy as fuck, buried beneath mountains [...]

One of the best TV presenters in America interviewed one of the best (OK, best) Williamsburg, New York band going. Colbert excels in an interview where he asks "Your previous album was called Return to Cookie Mountain. Kyp, Why would you ever leave Cookie Mountain? It sounds delicious!" TV on the Radio - "So much better [...]

There's something about a band that makes everyone swoon at their sound, particularly the girls I know who've heard this want to recreate it or make music like it. School of Seven Bells are such a band. So many melodies. So much warmth. In truth, this video is never going to match the atmosphere of [...]

The Empire of the Sun album is half shit, half brilliant. This Justin Timberlake-esque track is one of my favourites from the album which sways from horrendous to celestial. I would have posted an MP3 but IRMA asked me to take down some major label related tunes last week so it won't happen again [...]

I've been listening to some Aeroplane remixes on repeat so I mentioned them in Day and Night this week. Those Belgians trade in the best kind of remixes - long and epic. There's also a guide to Twitter, sites of the week (Purpose Games is an amazing way to keep your brain tested), Joaquin Phoenix [...]

It's been a really annoying few days on the blog with phishing and spamming IP addresses rampant on my server. I'm preparing a nice big meaty post for this week but in the meantime, here is a playlist of songs I've been listening to over the last while. MGMT - Electric Feel (Aeroplane remix) Lykke Li Vs [...]

Neon Hold Records had already got my attention by releasing my number two tune of the year, so it's with great pleasure to say that their second release is also a bit of a stonker, albeit a different kind of stonk. It's by Marina and The Diamonds, a Kate Bush-esque character from Wales via Ancient Greece. [...]

A nice way to showcase one of my songs of the year is in its current live form as you will have certainly seen in the National Stadium a few weeks ago, or Tripod before that. 'Skinny Love' is bolstered by Vernon's three assistants on percussive duties. If you like this try: Blogger's Delight - 17th [...]
