A fantastic video featuring Donal Dineen, Liam Ó'Maonlai and Niwell Tsumbu culminating with Body and Soul in flying form on Friday night at EP. Delighted to say I was there. You have to appreciate the great work of all at www.ArbutusYarns.com on this. To see more from them check out their website and particularly this beauty.

Muto Leo (formerly SextonBlake) have been putting in the hard hours recording their first 4 track EP and single. The fruits of their labour are, I'm ecstatic to report, well worth a trip across to their MySpace page. Their first single 'One Trick Pony' is now available to buy on iTunes.

Hard Mix - Memories (mp3)Beautiful stuff from North Carolina. The video is composed of snippets taken from the past 8 year's of Mr. Mix's (Noah Smith to his mum) life. Some folks are calling this 'chill wave'. If you see them, tell them to fuck off.

One of my highlights from the most recent Other Voices series, The Antlers are returning to these shores to appear in the Academy on 24 May. Their latest offering Hospice has received wide acclaim with lead singles 'Two' & 'Bear' earning repeated plays around these parts. Critics have particularly praised the narrative of the album which tells the story of a man losing a loved one to cancer.

Last night we had a treat in Paris' hipster mecca as Villagers supported Wild Beasts, both giving excellent performances. "Villagers" was in fact only main man Conor J O'Brien. In a "reverse Jape" move, Conor appeared on stage to say "Hi, I'm Villagers", which is just grammatically incorrect.... His performance allowed me to forgive the grammar though, as he offered a lovely solo guitar show,

I am not going to put any of these tracks up as a BSITWT, although on another day they would all be worthy. They all come from a Mix that Donal Dineen has Soundclouded on the Fresh Air Festval Blog.What Dineen has unearthed is really some of the finest electronica going. What really amazes is that upon listening to the MySpace or downloading an album from any of these artists, you realize that

The National have started to release new material from the album High Violet, which will be released officially in May.Here you will find a link to Bloodbuzz Ohio, which has elements of the tenderer story telling side of Boxer, with lead vocal Matt Berninger's voice offering a reminder of why he enchanted us all on that soon-to-be-considered-classic album.Below we see the more aggressive, upbeat

Once lazily described in these pages as 'the Danish Arcade Fire', Efterklang - Denmark's answer to Canadian superstars Arcade Fire - are back with an absolute stormer. Magic Chairs is the group's first LP on 4AD, and it could be the one that finally gives their sprawling orchestral wizardry some real bite - there are more than a handful of tracks on this that offer something tangible; something

Samamidon - Sugar Baby (mp3) Get Nico Muhly involved with the arrangments, drizzle some Sufjan-esque magic on it, and tie it together with the Vermont version of Ronan O'Snodaigh's voice. Booma- you have one of the most exciting folk artists to emerge in years.This one's taken from his 2007 Bedroom Community release All is Well; though, in truth, you could have just as easily taken anything from

Irish acoustic pop band, Size2shoes is made up of brothers Eoin and Mícheál ó Súilleabháin. Belonging to a family of esteemed musicians, the Limerick natives have received much acclaim for their musical ability and unique approach to their craft. They describe their tracks as "deftly mixing rap, vocal percussion and virtuoso guitars with sharp double vocals and a huge dollop of humour". Accounts

RA have provided a list of their Top 100 tunes of the decade. Makes for a lot of fun looking up the ones you never heard of. I suppose we could rant about lists like this all day, so critiquing it is pointless. That Metro Area track is fantastic, but the best tune of the last 10 years??? I am delighted that Garnier got the recognition for The Man With The Red Face, which truly is one of those

On the back of a taunt from Ed, I am going to try write up my "Best of the Noughties" list. Given that at the turn of the millenium I was listening to nothing but hip-hop and garbage trance, you can consider this a personal, yet very incomplete attempt, heavily skewed towards albums since 2005! Some albums are included for their sheer brilliance, others are highly rated for their hugely

Matias Aguayo released one of 2009's more unconventional albums in Ay Ay Ay. Formed mostly around the human voice in varying chants, percussive samples and languages, it is a departure from the standard techno flavour of Kompakt's output over the past number of years. Aguayo himself has moved away from the minimal sound that forged his reputation, he is one half of Closer Musik (with Dirk Leyers)

American troubled genius Andrew Bird brought his solo act to Paris last Friday to the delight of a sold out Casino de Paris. While there were many highlights, including the classic Imitosis, there was definitely a sense that Bird is at the end of a long, sleepless frenzied journey*. The sounds were great, his genius was obvious, but the energy did not seem to be there in his one-man violin/

Sunday. You're tired, hungover and broke - Adrian Childs' flirtatious relationship with Lee Dixon on Match of the Day 2 should be the most complex thing you face all evening. Alas, one fateful sabbath, you're begrudgingly hauled through the curiously baltic microclimate that seperates Dublins 4 and 8 at the whim of a sadistic promoter. Lo and behold, your arsey Sunday mood is at once forgotten,

Fabric had their 10th birthday recently, it was really tome, like.Starting on Sat night and finishing early Monday morning, it was something to behold. BTBW saw Michael Mayer, Andrew Weatherall, Matthew Jonson, Ivan Smagghe, Steve Bug, and Ricardo Villalobos over a 24 hour period with a massive snooze in the middle somewhere.

Late Night Get Go is a new music and comedy show on RTE. The first show was filmed live in The Good Bits (formerly Radiocity) on Store Street this evening. The revamped venue is a perfect location to show off some of the country best up-and-coming live acts. We will endeavour to let you know when the next filming is taking place and free tickets can be obtained by composing a simple email...

Hurrah! Channel One are finally releasing their debut album, Sound to Light, in a fortnight. The release is accompanied by a free gig in The Button Factory on Friday Nov 6th, where presumably the record will be available to buy. We're giddy about this one - the Accelerate : Brake EP brought Irish electronic music to another level with its layers of wavey shoegaze, moody vocals and punchy beats.

Nosaj Thing - Fog. I can't get over this track. Dineen has been championing this chap lately, the album "Drift" is one of the finest I've heard this yea, varying from the beatifully airy to the downright grimy. A exemplar to all those searching for the outer realms of the Pretty-Philthy spectrum.

Donal Dineen's radio show takes on a fresh visage for November, with the invitation of a host of Irish artists to come on, have a bit of a chat, play a few tunes. It is basically like they call over to him for a cuppa tea but we get to listen in. Should be only lovely.A reminder that the Small Hours airs Monday-Thursday, midnight-2am.From Donal Dineen's blog:FreshAir is a free music festival that

Sideproject is a Cork based 5 piece. The band formed in early 2006 and have been producing high-quality experimental/post rock ever since. To date they have released two well received EPs Take Shelter From The Stars and Not Waving But Drowning. Having played on the bill with acts such as Fight Like Apes, Delorentos and, Ted Leo and The Pharmacists, the lads have garnered a deserved loyal

Just came across this live rendition of what many believe to be the late Mic Christopher's masterpiece, What A Curious Notion, filmed at a Vienna club in 2001. Always nice to see an initially uninterested crowd become so gripped by a man and his guitar. Typically for Mic, he forgets the name of the song...This November marks 8 years since his untimely death in Groningen; he would have been 40

It's hard to believe that 45:33 has been with us since 2005. It still sounds as fresh and energising as when it first creeped into our lives. We now have an updated and remixed version released last month after having undergone a 2009 workout (ahem) from some of house and disco's finest. The original track placings have not been altered hugely. Have a listen.
