Well, it's a slightly misleading title, but I figured I've been working on this long enough to rant a little bit. A good friend of mine, Jamie Hannigan, has directed a short film called "The Beekeeper" and he was good enough to ask me to work with him again as sound editor (and to use […]
Jinx Lennon – Know Your Station Gouger Nation – 02 – city of styrofoam cups This is a little piece of genius. Jinx Lennon is an Irish troubadour, a poet of the streets, he's raw and he really believes what he's singing about. He's best seen playing live, where his passion shines through. He bursts […]
For some reason Vox won't allow me to upload this file. So I'm just going to link to it and you can download it if you like. Download Institut National Des Arts Damon Albarn brought out an interesting solo album in 2002 called Mali Music, working with a number of musicians from Mali, including guitarist […]
I recently played a gig at Hotel Ballymun. It was a fairly laid back affair, with a small audience and a variety of art work and installations located around the Hotel. So what is it? From their site: Guests at Hotel Ballymun will be able to appreciate the spectacular views over Dublin, just weeks before […]
Emerge Fischerspooner #1 – Album Cover Fischerspooner – Emerge I love this track. It's a song that has always struck me could be a hit with people that aren't crazy about electronic music. It's eminently catchy and a lot of fun! Check it out. Read and post comments | Send to a friend Other Spectacular […]

Brian May had a truly unique guitar sound that many have tried to replicate over the years, but no-one had the right amplifier […]
Well it's 5am and I'm about to hit the sack. Very tired now. I have a gig in about 14 hours or so in Hotel Ballymun. It sounds like an interesting place to play a gig (a building designated for tearing down that has been temporarily turned into a hotel as an art project), and […]
REM – Reckoning – 15 – Moon River Theres such a lot of world to see We♥Music has posted an extensive collection of Moon River covers I thought I'd add to it with this REM cover, which I found was on the extended version of their 2nd album, Reckoning. I'm not sure where it originally […]
We got our tickets. I never even saw a glimmer of a page load, but Jenny got through and was able to buy tickets for Pob, myself, Gaia and herself. We is going to Glastonbury! (and I'm going back to bed) Read and post comments | Send to a friend Other Spectacular Shows! Vox Hunt: […]
That time of year again. Glastonbury festival tickets are on sale as of 9am GMT this morning. I should point out that there is no point trying unless you registered on their site over a month ago! I dragged myself out of a very cosy, warm, Sunday bed just calling out for a lie-in. Without […]
