    Episode 47:

    This was one of those shows had made me leave the studio buzzing, I really enjoyed and I think I can safely say we had a first for DCUfm if not Irish college radio when Lethal Dialect and Costelloe dropped some rhymes live in the studio. (see the lingo IS sorted !). It was lovely to chat to Daire O’Reilly also and get an insight into the Each Small Candle Project.

    Really enjoyed the show, would love to get more hip hop in, if you’re a hip hop/rap artist get in touch!

    Here’s what happened:

    1. DJ Flip & Freezemaster Slick: Crossroads

    2. Miles Kane: Closer

    3. Interpol: Lights (This week’s Recommended Free Legal Download available from www.interpolnyc.com)

    4. Chat with Lethal Dialect and Costello

    5. Lethal Dialect (feat Tommy Hand): Hold You Down

    6. Lethal Dialect Feat Costello: The Beginning (live)

    7. Costello feat Lethal Dialect: Philosophical

    8. Lethal Dialect: Far From The End

    9. Chat with Daire O’Reilly about Each Small Candle CD project for Sosad.ie

    10. Daire O’Reilly: Oh Darlin

    11. The Minutes: Black Keys

    I’m going to see if I can get it sorted to include the live tracks included in the podcast. That would be cool!

  • Daire O’Reilly: The Promised Land Sampler Review

    Daire O'Reilly

    The Promised Land by Daire O’Reilly is the debut album due for release in Autumn 2010. The Cavan born artist is currently based in NYC so I was happy to land a pre-release sampler.

    The sampler starts with ‘Sleeping in’ a mid tempo rock track with a laid back vibe reminiscent of the Stereophonics ‘Have a nice day’. Oh Darlin is an Americana/Country tinged track and proves that O’Reilly has a knack for writing singalong melodies. There’s a nice use of mandolin during a breakdown before the track builds up nicely before the climax .

    ‘To Believe’ shows this writer why O’Reilly is currently residing in the U.S., it’s a AOR radio friendly track, well produced with a slight flavour of Dawson’s Creek in there.

    ‘Star Gazing’, the final track of the sampler, is an acoustic based Cowboy-esque track, the lone ranger meeting his love match. The chorus of voices singing “Star Gazing’ bring an extra depth to the track. It’s quite a sit around the campfire singing song. My favourite on the sampler.

    All in all, its a good start, we’ll have to wait for the rest of the album
