I wish Dogpile had been a more succesful search engine and reached verbification level.

Also, if anyone could tell me anything about this band Smile Kick who appear on the Rabid Chords VU Tribute compilation that would be great! I got nothin' and their version of the Black Angel Death Song is great.

1. It isn't an eclectic list, Nathalie. But I'm pretty certain that you weren't some sort of wild queen of eclecticism when you were 19 either.

2. Akron/Family are really a bunch of boring shite, fingers. The lyrics are enough to make me want to scream. And the music is bland.
Also, if anything, they are influenced by others. Not influencing anyone.

3. THAT HUGGIES THING WAS MINE ALFONSO.

Have you ever seen Akron/Family live though?

To go back to the Irish discussion, yeah I always forget Donal Dineen exists too, the guy is the only genuinely alternative host in Ireland. He comes into the shop where I work and buys Border Community 12s=respect.

As for HP, think Major Alfonso pretty much nailed it. As a former writer I'm hardly impartial but........well FUCK THEM.

Care to do a little self-promotion, Ronan? I'm back in the motherland over the Electric Picnic weekend, and I never get enough time to explore the new record shops that have popped up in the few years that I've been away (I presume you're Dublin-based).

I liked "Here comes the night" and "Headphones" are they still on? Also Phantom FM, what's the story?

YES! Electric Picnic should be class!

I work in Carbon inside the Urban Outfitters in Temple Bar, so easy to find, it's good for dance/indie/soul type stuff mostly. I'd say most people could find some stuff they like there.

Indeed, I remember getting Tortoise's 'Standards', a Shaolin Soul comp and a Tom Brock CD in a 3 for 25euro sale there. I'll be sure to check it out again!

So, who of the ILX Irishers (or otherwise) are going to Electric Picnic?

My favourite place is Plugd in Cork.

haha, trees, I know the huggies thing is yours but there isn't enough hugs on ilm, I just wanted to spread the love (esp recently).

Ronan, I remember narking you when you were working on Hotpress for not giving respect to the review section when I did read reviews in the Ticket and the Tribune, sorry about that! (I don't buy an Irish Sunday paper anymore, none of them are worth it). But yeah, I wouldn't give HP my money. I'm also now completely ignorant as to what's happening music wise in Ireland...
Never bought anything in Carbon, I always forget it exists. Urban Outfitters' clothes are muy expensive. Must remember Carbon's in there though.
I have an Electric Picnic ticket but not entirely sure I'm going yet. Ought to be though.

*ahem* Plugging mine own thread here:

Electric Picnic in September...

Hot Press is woejus. I like Foggy Notions. Not the Tomlab CD though, sorry Mr. End of Fingers.
