Choice Music Prize 2011

And the nominees are - And So I Watch You From Afar – Gangs (Richter Collective) Bell X1 – Bloodless Coup (Belly Up Records) Cashier No 9 – To The Death of Fun (Bella Union) Lisa Hannigan - Passenger (Hoop) The Japanese Popstars – Controlling Your Allegiance (EMI) Jape – Ocean of Frequency (Music Is For Losers) Patrick Kelleher & His Cold Dead Hands – Golden Syrup (Osaka Records) Pugwash – The Olympus Sounds (EMI/1969 Records) Tieranniesaur – Tieranniesaur (Popical Island) We Cut Corners – Today I Realised I Could Go Home Backwards (Delphi) I wasn't going to reflect on this here but as it's the major Music Prize in Ireland it would be rude of me not to share my thoughts. Isn't this a generally safe list! The hipsters would be up in arms if Patrick Kelleher, Tieranniesaur or ASIWYFA didn't get the nod.

Féile Remembered

It's been in the news that 25 years ago Irish Summers got a bit more interesting with the arrival of Féile festivals. I was lucky enough to be a mid teen attender at Feile 1994 with great memories of dancing to Blur, the dangerous mosh pit of 'House of Pain' the rock and roll swooning of Primal Scream and perfect pop of Bjork.

Friday's Forgotten Favourites - Compulsion

Compulsion's album Comforter was the first time I realised that an Irish band could produce music on a par with everything else I was listening to at the time. I think it was when Pearl Jam's Vs album was on repeat play in my teenage bedroom that Comforter found a home in my life. They were a punk influenced indie alternative act who probably suffered from the 'sound like Nirvana' tag! Here's some background info: In 1992 Compulsion was formed by Joey Barry also known as Joseph Mary. Joining him were Sid Rainey and Garrett 'Jacknife' Lee, all of whom had played together in Thee Amazing Colossal Men. The band recruited Jan Willem Alkema from Holland on drums. The Compulsion EP was released in 1992 while in 1993 the band released two more singles before Comforter was released in 1994 with the lead single being mall Monarchy. A Little Mistake was one of the three b-sides on that single: A Little Mistake Officially Compulsion only released two albums. Comforter...
