Irish rock n roll experience museum

Perhaps I could have offered to be an ad...

If you get the chance in the next few months, go and see them. Absolutely superb. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/music/what-to-listen-to/suede-roundhouse-review/ The second life of a pop band can be one long decline into nostalgic comfort and creative death. Suede, to their credit, are not g...

The Ecstasy of Wilko Johnson
(Preview)
Saw this when it was in cinemas in the summer and loved it. It's now on iPlayer 'till Christmas, definitely recommended. Had the pleasure of meeting (and, bizarrely, drawing) Wilko a few weeks ago and Julien Temple has captured everything from the way he moves to the constant stream of quotes and refe...

Charts
(Preview)
Just had a glance at UK top 40 for first time in an age. Given that he's a) not the greatest talent since Beatles b) not dead, HOW can Justin Bieber occupy 3 of top 5 slots, with another track at #15??? It's not that I'm a non-Belieber, I just fail to see how with all the material available he's shifting enoug...

What are your good mood songs?
(Preview)
Currently listening to Silver by Echo and the Bunnymen, and Lean On Me ( I Won't Fall Over) by Carter USM. It's interesting how some songs help with bad moods and generally inspire and lift the spirit. I could list lots of songs that are fairly positive in terms of lyrics and upbeat rather than being mise...

Stone Roses - Are they that popular or are people trying to make a quick buck?
(Preview)
Now I like The Stone Roses, but I find it hard to believe that they have sold out four dates (well some seats left for the fourth) at the Manchester City stadium next summer. I saw them at Finsbury Park and it was popular enough, but there were shed loads of tickets knocking around, some at far less than fa...

When were you last excited about buying a new album?
(Preview)
Having picked up The Fine Art of Surfacing at the weekend, for £3 at the local Oxfam, I remembered how excited I was to get the album back in 1979. Got it in advance along with Eat to the Beat and Hersham Boys, all three coming out more or less at the same time. Our local record store somehow always had them a...
