  • Free Music Monday 23/1/2012: Pearse McGloughlin + Video Collaborators Wanted!

    Bright StarPearse McGloughlin is an artist I’ve got to know over the past couple of years and the more I hear the more I like his music. So much so that Pearse is the only person ever to do two live sessions for Culture Cafe while it was on air on DCUfm.

    Pearse is planning to release his second album ‘In Movement’ this year and today put a call out for visual collaborators.. Here’s what Pearse is after:

    ‘I’m looking for visual reactions to the songs from the album — little short films. These could be captured on iPhones, mobile phones, HD cameras, camcorders or whatever you use for rolling footage. I hope to release these via my website in the run up to the album’s release. If you are interested or even mildly curious please reply

    I will then give you one of the songs from the album, hoping that in turn you’ll create a 40-60 second visual piece, a mini music video if you will, for the song. This will be loosely related to the song or if you have an idea of your own, that’s cool too. It could be a complex stop motion, abstract and arty or just simple studies of light…whatever you see fit.’

    [Edit: Pearse got in touch with me, saying thanks for all your emails, the deadline has now passed]

    Anyway, you want some free music, here’s Pearse McGloughlin’s Bright Star available from bandcamp

  • Tune of the Week 06/01/2012: Gotye

    One of the great finds of 2011 for me was definitely Gotye. It was Caan who really made me take notice after he said he would love to work with him. This track has been around for a while and is huge in OZ but seems to be getting another push here, which it thoroughly deserves. This week’s Tune of the Week is Gotye and Somebody That I Used To Know.

  • Free Music Monday 02/01/2012: Dizzee Rascal (DirteeTV.com Mixtape)

    DIRTEETV.comWhat a great way to start 2012. Dizzee Rascal kicks the year off in style with the release of a free mixtape to promote the launch of his own online video channel, DirteeTV.com. The 25 track mixtape features Example, Kano and Westwood and Zane Lowe drop in too. Really liking it after a first listen and wouldn’t be surprised if a version of ‘Catch Me If You Can’ was released officially at some stage. The whole thing was mixed by DJ MK of Kiss 100.

    To get your copy of ‘DirteeTv.com The Mixtape’ all you have to do is sign up here. Get it while you can, great way to start the year. Dizzee’s fifth album should be out later this year but in the meantime here’s a reminder of the best song of 2009.
