Great show tonight...I was disappointed heading into the show, knowing that Lisa Hannigan who was prominently featured on both of his albums had recently stopped touring with Damien to record her own album, but that disappointment faded quickly.From the first few notes of the show opener '9 Crimes' through the entire set, the energy and intensity never waned....just a great show. The set was he...

I've got Lost on my mind. Delicate was the last song Hurley listen to, in Season 1 episode called In Translation, before the batteries in his discman died out. I say bring back the music. Why doesn't Hurley have a Dharma prototype walkman in the 70's?Delicate is one of my favorites off O. I woke up with the lyrics in my head this morning. It always brings me back to this episode. When Hurley's ...

I will be spending tonight lounging on the grass listening to Damien Rice...the show is in a really cool outdoor venue downtown, so I am looking forward to just relaxing and looking up at the stars while the good music just fills up the night sky...a great way to end a long weekend...

Wow! Damien Rice doing Hallelujah. Even though Jeff Buckley's version if my favorite, Damien's interpretation is quite stellar. Nothing else to say but press play, sit back, close yr eyes and enjoy.Damien Rice - Hallelujah (acoustic/live){mp3}

So true...I set my beloved MOG free today....and it loyally returned. And as I have just poished off the last Newcastle, I will leave you with this lullaby...

I love the way this song lulls you into a kinda of melancholy place and then just explodes with anger...when I hear this song I think about one particular relationship in my life...in fact I think somehow Damien Rice implanted some sort of recording device in my brain and plucked these lyrics right out of my head!

Woman like a Man has to be one of my favorite Damien Rice songs if only because its so different from his typical melancholy style of song. Not that I don't like his style but after two albums I feel it's about time he evolves and expands his soundscapes into new territories like Ray Lamontagne.There's something lusty and sinister about Woman like a Man that's makes this song so addicting. We n...

Well I couldn't have my first Sunday Under the Covers without including this one. Perfromed with the emotion only Damien can bring. (which begs the qestion why is this my first Damien Rice post...)

Still a little bit of your taste in my mouthStill a little bit of you lacedwith my doubtStill a little hard to saywhat's going onStill a little bit of your ghost your witnessStill a little bit of your faceI haven't kissedYou step a little closer each dayStill I can't say what's going onStones taught me to flyLove taught me to lieLife taught me to dieSo it's not hard to fallWhen you float like a...

This month saw the tenth birthday of the Ruby Sessions, the weekly acoustic night held upstairs in Doyles Pub on College Street in Dublin. Given that the sessions have played host to some (if not most) of the major names in Irish music over the years, it was fitting that the guest list for these…

So this is how it looks outside the front of my house right now. We are being pummeled with snow, here in CO. Four foot drifts all around ... but it's not so bad ... I've outfitted my new eskimo cave with a LAN and high speed internet so I can continue mogging right through!

This one is for all you who've ever loved and lost. The jilted lovers. The poor, dissed, paramours. The unrequited masses. We've all been there, right? I just love a good, sardonic send-off. Then of course there are the truly-pissed kick-the-loser-to-the-curb kind of send-offs. Following are a few of my favorites, both for their lyrics and straight up musical appeal. Lose on suckers!Damien Rice...
