  • Grey’s Anatomy Season 9 Trailer

    Grey’s Anatomy Season 9 Trailer

    You know, there are two pretty mental things in this post. Point number 1. Grey’s Anatomy is on Season 9, like really? How long is ER off the telly? Point Number 2. Kodaline are on the trailer. These guys seem like they’re going to take over the planet. Jeez, I was thrilled when I saw them on Channel 4 on Sunday Brunch but a Grey’s Anatomy placement means the guys probably won’t have to slum it in hostels on their next tour, they’ll have comfy beds!

    Fair play, here’s the trailer!

    MylesManley As it says on the tin, Myles Manley of ‘Myles Manley and The Little People’ fame answers some questions and gets to the bottom of some world changing topics, like flavours of ice-cream and The Muppets! It’s all here.

    Myles has a new album coming out on October 17th with the title ‘Rocknroll Vicar /Rocknroll Priest (I Pay To Play To You, Triptychs and Defeat)’.

    Culture Cafe on RTÉ 2XM: Podcast: Interview with Example

    (Update: due to a technical c*ck up, this week’s show wasn’t broadcast today, hopefully it should be all sorted for the repeat on Sunday at 9pm on 2XM – In the meantime, I had this ready for you, enjoy!)

    Last Thursday, Arthur’s Day, I had the privilege of chatting to Example in the Penthouse Suite of the hotel where all the press interviews were taking place. He’s lovely guy, immediately putting me at ease, tapping the sofa for me to go sit beside him. I really enjoyed it, he’s a lovely guy, was slagging me off and does a terrible but hilarious impersonation of Louis Walsh, he also tells me about working with Graham Coxon from Blur.

    Hope you enjoy the interview as much as I did.

    Here’s the video for his current single: Say Nothing.
