  • The Riot Tapes: Photograph Review

    I actually wasn’t going to write about this cos I basically did a review of it when I played it on the Culture Cafe on Thursday night but a few people who know my kind of music, asked me what I thought so here goes.

    There are always a few comparisons and stereotypes a band will get with a female singer backed by a few blokes. The opening ‘Stupid Girl’ Garbage/Clash-like drum beat on ‘Photograph’ doesn’t dispel these. The feedback guitar intro then dips into a more Texas-like verse.

    Elaine Doyle’s vocals are strong and commanding, I can’t figure out whether its her vocals or the vocal production that reminds me of Sharleen Spiteri. It’s enough to make me listen a couple of times to try and figure out if the vocal lines are reverbed or doubletracked. </nerd>  (more…)

  • [/2010]

    [/2010]

    2010 has been a strange year. It’s had its up and downs and some stuff happened that made me really think about what matters most.

    Fcuk it!

    It’s been a year for the Old Spice man and the iPad. A nerd had a movie made about him and Wikileaks leaked a bit too much. Ireland’s been in the news for all the wrong reasons, IMF, bailouts, unemployment and not being able to get out of the place quick enough.

    The year I started doing a lot more writing and Elvis Costello and Plan B used my reviews in their websites and I got to review some great gigs and interview some amazing people. Thanks to everyone who came on the Culture Cafe on DCUfm.com and who listened whenever I hijacked the radiowaves.

    We had three snowpocalypses/i and had more than one hot day.

    I could go on talking about what music and films I enjoyed, who I loved, who I hated but no mini review could be complete without me mentioning the thrill of the San Francisco Giants winning the World Series.
