Songs of the decade: “The ‘59 Sound”
The Gaslight Anthem | “The ‘59 Sound” | 2008 From its Born to Run opening riff to its down-and-out, working man lyrics (including repeated lines), the title track to The Gaslight Anthem’s second outing is the best pure rock song of the Aughts. [Maybe I'm slightly ...

Songs of the decade: “The Underdog”
Spoon | “The Underdog” | 2007 Perhaps it isn’t surprising - or, isn’t supposed to be - that the most fun song Spoon released this decade features uplifting Motown-esque horns. The lyrics, too, are notably upbeat with a concise message of not giving up, laying down ...

Charity goes a long way - ‘I Want a Goat’ (music video spoof)
SNL’s satire music video I’m on a Boat stirred a lot of comments when it first surfaced more than half a year ago, bashing auto-tune and the current MTV scene. Looks like some well intended good-doers decided to capitalize on the video’s viral success and produce a ...

The Clash of the Titans 1991 tour was one of the most epic and spectacular series of metal gigs to ever have graced the planet, basically making various venues in the US and Europe the very center of the scene for a day. Now, Megadeth and Slayer are set to embark on a tour of almost equal ...

Les Savy Fav featured on ‘Yo Gabba Gabba’
If only had to use one word to describe Les Savy Fav ’s latest brand new song, titled “ Shoes ” and recorded for kids show Yo Gabba Gabba , then it would definitely be awkward . Hey, don’t get me wrong, they’ve made plenty of crazier stuff, but it’s this new ...

Al Byrne’s Radio Bile
People are stupid. Unendingly, gruesomely stupid, like a lobotomised, shaved badger - every last one of us a fetid, gormless lump of uselessness. I apologise for the crass generalisation there, but really, it needed to be said. And really, I should have said it in big bold letters: a ...

Tune-Yards live @ 4AD live sessions
With such artists under their roster, like The National, Deerhunter, TV on the Radio, Bon Iver or St. Vincent just to name a few, it would have been only foolish for the British indie label 4AD not to make their own in-house show. Following the success of the amazing Deerhunter set at the ...

Jay-Z in auto-tune: “I got 99 problems but my pitch ain’t one.”
We’ve raved about auto-tune , T-Pain and the likes before, but this track right here is sheer gold for anyone left with a sower taste after channeling through MTV nowadays. A while ago, Jay-Z released a called D.O.A. (death of auto-tune) , in which he openly condemned the overuse of ...

Ham Sandwich - Whelan’s, Dublin (7/11/09)
And to think that some people are still deluded enough to believe that U2 are Ireland’s premier live band. I don’t know if it’s sheer media saturation that’s perpetuated that myth, or just widespread ignorance, but it needs to be stamped out post-haste. Bono can ...

Al Byrne’s Radio Bile
So, apparently, the 16th MTV European Music Awards “went down” on Thursday. Did you notice? I didn’t - I was preoccupied with more relevant, pressing matters, like noticing that ooh, it’s getting quite cold this time of year, and hey, I need a shave. Of course, the ...
