The good folk over at Goldenplec have put together a 32 page digital magazine compiling all the ‘Best ofs’ for 2013. It’s not just a series of lists though, alongside all the ‘bests’ you get a nice little paragraph on each entry and in the case of gig reviews, you get the full review first published on Goldenplec after the gig happened in 2013.
Grab a mug o’ tea and put your feet up for a while and have a read… You deserve it!

At the end of the first full working week of 2014, it’s nice to get a reward of sorts. Avec Sans have themselves remixed their current single ‘Shiver’ and are allowing it as a free download.
The band announced it on their Facebook page this evening:
Hope you’re all settling into 2014 and more importantly not getting the January blues get you down. Here’s something to brighten up your day! It’s this week’s podcast from The London Ear. I really enjoyed the chats on this week’s show with Emily from Emily and The Woods and with DJ Flip. Being in London, it’s great to chat to new bands and get to know new people plus it’s always great to catch up with people from home and it was great to chat to Flip.
The worse thing about this week’s show, I ran out of space… an hour just isn’t enough. Oh, before I forget I have to thank my buddy Tony Aris for his voiceovers for the show! He’s well ‘ard!
Here’s what happened this week:
1. The London Ear Intro
2. Sisteray: She Likes The Drama
3. Kagoule: Adjust The Way
4. Janni Peuhu: No Regrets
5. Chat with Emily from Emily and The Woods

It’s just the first week of the year and already things are looking good for Kodaline. Their UK & Ireland tour in March has sold out and their album ‘In A Perfect World’ has gone double platinum in Ireland and the big news, they’re on Jonathon Ross on Saturday night!
Kodaline are also off to the US for a tour where they will be supported by LP. And all the Irish in Oz will love to hear that March/April will see the lads head to Australia and New Zealand for a string of dates. Hope they’ve big cases, that’s a lot of socks and underwear to pack!
In the lead up to all this, they’ve also unveiled a new version of the opening track from their album ‘One Day’, which will be released as a single. The track was reworked by the band along with Cenzo Townshend who has also worked with The Vaccines, Snow Patrol and U2. This rework/re-edit really lifts the song and gives it an extra kick of energy. So I’m making this Tune of the Week for two reasons, this track sounds huge now, it’s really really good. Reason number 2, it takes a lot for an artist to revisit for work, it’s a hard task, especially when that track is the opener on your album. Everyone who has it, will immediately identify with the original. But Kodaline have taken something that was already good and made it better. Hats off!
This new version will be Kodaline’s next single and will be released on February 17th.
