Bad Kate

We were all pleasantly, un-horrified by the results of Kate's collaboration with Primal Scream, (isn't it amazing what they can do with computers these days?) Then there was the whole dueting with Pete Doherty, but we can blame that on the drugs.
Then there were reports that Simon Cowell is looking to recruit her for Team Xfactor. Yes Kate is no stranger to the music world;But.... how embarrassing is this?



At a charity event last night (the very same one Sienna Miller and Patrick Kielty left together!!!)Kate took to the stage and sang a version of Summertime with Pink Floyd legend David Gilmour on guitar, what she did next is the tragic part.... she ended up writhing about on the floor!! Crinnnnge!

Jamie Hince, never ever let her on stage with The Kills.

I have no words...

Can do better....

I'm disappointed....bad song... stupid video.... (although Brandon does have quiet an impressive mirrorball jacket towards the end)

C'mon guys!

Dizzy continues to Urdan-ify Dance

Calvin Harris - check. Armin Van Helden - check... Next up for Dizzee Rascal is a collaboration, we'll he's trying at least.

In an interview this week Diz’ said: “Yeah we’ve spoke, we’ve talked about it. I don’t wanna give too much away. I’m the kind of person who likes to do things.”

Dizzee Rascal supported The Prodigy on their recent UK arena tour, so they must be great mates now! The Rascal is expected to release his fourth studio album this Autumn. Woop woop!

Grizzly Bear

Fabulous Friday night groove....

If you saw Jools this week... you know.
Album coming late this month.

Boys Making Waves...

Don't ask me where these fellas came from, but all of a sudden they're everywhere I turn. Not that I'm complaining... good job all round. I was at their last launch in Whelans, and if that's anything to go by, Friday night's launch & release of new single 'I Will Protect You' at Whelans, will be a corker of a night also. They're a little bit Weezer and a little bit Shins...check them out here

Support on the night comes from Harrows and Stone Throwing Youths.

And you can pick up their rather cute looking debut EP "The City, The Tree and The Fox" in Tower Records.

So wrong...

that I love this...

But c'mon, the UK music buying public(aged 11-15) agree, it is number 1. in the charts!

Temporary Pleasure

Simian Mobile Disco have been chatting about their new album.... which is due in August....
Perhaps an earlier summer release may have been better, for some sunny day listening? But anyway... they've some cool collaborations, including; Gruff Rhys, Hot Chip, Gossip, & Yeassayer!!

The first single..... 'Audacity Of Huge', featuring vocals from Yeasayer's Chris Keating, (who is amazing) will be released on August 3.

Here's the tracklisting :

'Cream Dream' (featuring Gruff Rhys)
'Audacity Of Huge' (featuring Chris Keating)
'10,000 Horses Can't Be Wrong'
'Cruel Intentions' (featuring Beth Ditto)
'Off The Map' (featuring Jamie Lidell)
'Synthesise'
'Bad Blood' (featuring Alexis Taylor)
'Turn Up The Dial' (featuring Young Fathers)
'Ambulance'
'Pinball' (featuring Telepathe)

And in the meantime.... here's a beaut of a Simian Mobile Disco Tune....


And a bit of Yeasayer too... I promise the collaboration will sound better then playing these two at the same time.

Nice hair Tom!

Looks like album number three will be as good as number one if this single is anything to go by;



Fire is released June 1st.

I'm excited!!

Quite possibly the most exciting thing to happen to the Irish Music scene in years!!
