I am the Ayatollah of Rock and Roll-ah

If Brendan from Cork who I had the pleasure of meeting in the Gaiety on Saturday ever reads this, that was the best line ever and I commend you. Even if you did start talking about how your mother told you to say it because it would get you laid. Haha. On to last night, […]

Gemma Hayes Gig Alert

It looks like Gemma is playing The Academy Tripod (thanks for the detective work tenaciousT!) on April 29th. Jesus I love life lately. I know this only through her drummer‘s myspace so don’t shoot me if it’s not true. Hope this means the new album is on the way.

Uh Huh Uh Huh

Just back from the second most gay event of the week, the annoyingly named Uh Huh Her in The Village. (Did they have to pay PJH to call themselves that? I’m calling them UHH from now on) Great fun, but I think a lot of people were just there to stare at (the admittedly lovely) […]

Tegan And Sara Day

I feel like I’m on acid. Excitement city. Tonight, the Button Factory. swoon 

Freeze. Cringe. Sigh.

Jesus I’m doing a great aul line in cringeworthy misunderstandings lately.  Mostly by saying things that are completely benign in my head but somehow in the journey between there and the other persons head develop into monstrosities said person is liable to get all stabby stabby about. The phrase “I didn’t mean it that way!” […]

Army Seeks “Professional Celebrity Rock Music Band” via tmn.

You Will Love Jenny Owen Youngs

Previously, we talked about the heartbreakingly brilliant Jenny Owen Youngs and the non Tegan and Sara song of the year, “Fuck Was I“. Don’t watch the following cultural commentary by the lovely Ms. Youngs (Owen Youngs?) and the equally dreamy Bess Rogers and some dude who I presume is a friend of theirs.  Do not […]

Ms. Indie Rock

Stereogum have a list up of picks for Ms. Indie Rock 2007 (and Mr. Indie Rock, further down). Nice to see Tegan Quin and Natasha Khan in the top ten. Don’t really know if I’d count M.I.A. as indie per say, but good to see her in there too anyway. Who am I kidding, this […]

Sheela Na Gig

PJ Harvey with Sheela Na Gig live in the Olympia. Looking Fabulous, of course.
