    Watch: Other Lives // Live in Concert // [PIAS] Nites

    OtherLives

    This week on the radio show, I featured ‘Rituals’ by Other Lives as my Album of the Week. I really like this album and how the band have melded organic acoustic instruments with electronic elements and productions. It’s an easy album to listen to and love, it gently drags you in and swirls you around. You can listen to the entire album on Spotify.

    So the trio from Stillwater, Oklahoma were in France recently doing some promo and played a [PIAS] nites gig. The good folk at Arte Concert filmed it and put it on the web for you to enjoy.

    Grab a cuppa and you’re all set!

  • Happy Bastille Day!

    If you’re French and celebrating, have a great day, if you’re not French, sure any excuse for a party eh? To honour this fantastic day, I’ve decided to share a track from one of France’s greatest exports, Johnny Depp’s missus,  the delightful Vanessa Paradis.

  • Tune Of The Week 30/7/09

    Christophe Willem
    Christophe Willem

    Ive been stuck here in Dublin all Summer and cant fly.. grr! Thank God I got away to France before I got sick!

    One I the things I love about France apart from the art, food, galleries and the fact it’s on the mainland is the music…

    About two years ago I was there and was instantly captured by Christophe Willem’s ‘Double Je’ It was EVERYWHERE! Turns out Mr Willem had won ‘Nouvelle Star’, the French version of Pop Idol.

    True story last week Boy George was on Twitter looking for some French voices, even though George was looking for voices from 30 or 40 years ago I recommended that he check him out. George said first that he ‘Sounded like a French Prince’ and added ‘He is, the face and the voice, different universe but great, more than great!’

    His new album ‘Caffeine’ was released in May, ‘Plus que Tout’ is the second single taken from it and it’s my Tune of the Week!
