There’s an interesting play coming up in the Dublin Theatre Festival written by Mark O’Halloran of “Adam & Paul” and “Garage” fame. The play, called Trade, centres on the relationship between a rent boy and a middle aged man and takes place in a run down guesthouse on the northside of Dublin. While the subject …

0 CommentsThis one’s been played out a lot by the usual suspects but I’m really in two minds about it. Normally when someone takes a decent instrumental dance track and sticks a vocal over it the results are pretty pants but it sells bucket loads and hits the charts and soundtracks 20 different Ibiza reality shows …

0 CommentsThe super nerd in me kind of wants this even though my old XBox 360 is still doing just fine under my TV. I’m just a sucker for Star Wars though. Full details on this Kinect bundle + 320GB XBox 360 from XBox.com, Wired, and Gizmodo. No word on a European release date though.

0 CommentsThis weekend isn’t even over yet and I’m looking forward to next weekend already because of two very different gigs. First up on Friday it’s the return of 2manydjs, who will be performing their Under The Covers (Live) show in Marley Park. If you haven’t checked out their RadioSoulwax app / website, go get it. …

0 CommentsI’m bound to forget someone in here so please don’t be offended. In somewhat of a chronological order: To Jonny for getting that first pair of belt drive decks. To Simon for having those basement parties on Fitzwilliam Square. To Chris for keeping things indie. To my parents for putting up with the racket. To …
Thank You And Goodnight
2 CommentsI’m in the process of recording some old 12 inches to DJ with again on CD or digitally and Barry Redsetta‘s recent tweet about Bobby O got me digging out this one again. This is the version the Pet Shop Boys recorded in New York in 1984 with Bobby O for Bobcat Records, before re-recording …
