    I get to see all these bands tomorrow and I'm excited.

    For the first time, I find myself incredibly disappointed with a Biffy Clyro album. Ellipsis does very little for me as a post-Puzzle convert who loves all six albums with Only Revolutions, Opposites and Blackened Sky being my favourites (no particular order). For me, it seems like they're trying to marry pre-Puzzle hardness, with post-Puzzle anthemness and throw in a bit of customary experimentation on top.

    It's funny, the criticisms I've seen of the album say it's too "stadium pleasing", but honestly I can't pick a track from it that I could see a crowd going nuts for in the O2 or Wembley or something.

    It just doesn't evoke any emotion in me at all. It's just... bland. They don't make me happy like Pocket, Mountains, 57, Bubbles, Joy.Discover.Invention etc. They don't make me mad like Living's A Problem, Get F*cked Stud, Sounds Like Balloons or The Joke's on Us, etc. They don't make me sad like Folding Stars or Machines. Just... nothing. I can't even find a song there that makes me want to sing, which is a damning indictment of an album for me.

    I'd say it was "Biffy by numbers", but IMO a Biffy by numbers song would eclipse most of these.

    I'll give them props for continuing to evolve as a band. But for me it's getting to the point where I wish they'd just stand still for a bit. :o

    Tracks I like from the album would be Small Wishes because it's different, Howl because it's close to being worthy of maybe being part of Opposites, and Re-arrange because it's the only song I instantly liked. I know it's saccharin and has been compared to Owl City, but meh.

    It's nigh on impossible to not start bopping to this.

    EDIT: I've fallen down this rabbit hole again. Oh well. One of the best live albums for sure and they say white guys can't dance. Pfft!

    Saw this guy in Limerick again on Thursday. What a man. "One Of The Good Ones" is just incredible live, and I cannot wait to get my hands on the new album.

    Saw these guys (Pleasure Beach) supporting BellX1 in Limerick recently. They should go far.

    Have any of the Limerick peeps come across this group?
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K3m0_as49zg

    Always thought I was good at keeping up to date with the local scene but these passed me by completely.

    absolutely rapid group. Bit more similar to grime than american rap. Couldn't find much stuff on youtube but their album is on spotify.
    They have a track called Heathrow which is unreal.

    Irish Hip hop that isn't cringey is a rarity.

    I got talking to Godknows at a poetry night in the White House pub once. Phenomenal talent, and seems a sound guy too.

    I only came across them through someone mentioning them on Reddit so I'm not sure how much exposure they've gotten but I really hope they explode . They really are excellent.

    I believe they were part of the bill for this year's Other Voices festival. :)

    So it ended up not being the last time. Because, like an idiot (or a dedicated fan), I flew 6000 miles to see them live for the last ever show. Here's some videos that I didn't take.

    God, I'm going to miss this band so much.

    This one tries so hard to be angsty, but then he laughs when he realises he doesn't know most of the lyrics. :D



    R.E.M. covering "I Will Survive".

    Has Manson ever done a bad cover? Tainted Love, You're So Vain, Sweet Dreams, Personal Jesus, and now this. Top quality.

    And now for some old fashioned teenage angst. This is proper Bebo flash-box stuff.

    Spotify put one of this group'songs in my Discover Weekly a year ago. I added it to my library but never really sought out the rest of their work. Over the last week or so I've started listening to all their stuff. I'm truly blown away by the singer's voice. Just so raw, whether she's whispering or screaming her heart out.

    Anyways I can't really talk with my friend's about this kind of sad music as they are mostly only into hip hop or hard rock so I'm gonna post it here.

    Yesterday would have been the 30th birthday of a legendary former Boardsie, the utterly unique and much-missed Rozabeez.

    Some of her best friends put together a Spotify playlist to commemorate the occasion, and for all of us who remember her to celebrate memories of times spent with her.

    It's a wonderful collection of songs. David Bowie, Blondie, Pearl Jam, Nena, the Cure, and all kinds of other great stuff. Timeless classics.

    I watched "Lost In Translation" tonight. I expect I'll be searching Spotify for a soundtrack playlist tomorrow.

    Cool to hear the first song from Teaches of Peaches in one scene.

    Have any of ye come across a Limerick musician called Paddy Dennehy? He'd be fairly well-known around Cork too.

    His debut album, "Little Light", hit Spotify on Friday, but some of his songs have been up there and on YouTube for a few years now.

    I got the CD a week early after doing a pre-order, and have had it on repeat for the last two and a half weeks. It is wonderful. Hints of Tom Waits and Mick Flannery (for whom he has opened in gigs before) but with a clear voice of his own. Highly recommended.

    If you told 16 year old me just how much Country I would be listening to as I got older I don't think he'd have believed you. He'd have probably laughed at you.

    I used to look at the genre with derision but each week my Discover Weekly contains more and more of it.

    Now I'll probably never be a Nathan Carter convert but there's an awful lot of gold in the genre.

    I think it's the production polish and the over-abundance of instruments in the arrangements that puts me off him and similar artists. There's just too much going on. His vocals are too smooth too.


    I'm a fan rough production and bare bones arrangements across all the genres I like.

    Arctic Monkeys - "I Bet That You Look Good On The Dancefloor" is still an absolute belter. Awesome energy.

    Anyone still checking out this forum, check out Irish language artists Amano (from Kerry/Japan, who fuses Irish lyrics with unique electronic production and an incredible voice) and Súil Amháin (an outrageously talented rapper and poet, also from Kerry). They both have a few tracks on Spotify with more material on YouTube and SoundCloud.
