The year of the Cat

Cat power goes mainstream, sobers up, is the new face of Chanel jewelry (no really!) and becomes a Miami socialite.

The Velvet Underground's first recording

For sale on ebay (current bid $25,100) one of only two surviving copies (the other copy said to be owned by David Bowie) of the acetate of the first velvet Underground recording (with alternate versions of what was later to be released as The Velvet Undergroung & Nico) The auction listing has a good history of the recording which was bought for 75cents in 2002

Are you ready to rock

Some classic live music downloads to remind you all that the interweb's still all about bootlegging - in a good, victimless kind of way of course.

Smashing Pumpkins Siamese Dream release party, Tower records Chicago July 26, 1993. From a time when the Pumpkins were on top of their game and Billy still had hair, it's easy to forget how good they were.

Jane's Addiction, King County Fairgrounds, Washington, August 28, 1991.

From 1983 the Smiths' legendry lost Troy Tate sessions, recorded for their first Rough Trade record and rejected.

A beautiful Cat Power performance from Western Washington University, May 14, 1999. This has everything that makes her great, a real favourite of mine.

As part of his Anti Tour 2 - the Nineties for DEAF06 festival musician/artist Denis McNulty is touring apartments (preferably built in the 90's) in Dublin city centre (i.e. the part of the city between the North and South circular roads). Interested in hosting a performance check out the details here.

Sparklehorse

I saw a back-on-form Sparklehorse last night at Whelans, a great crowd, great venue and a quite emotional Mark Linkous glad to be back.

The return of Sparklehorse

After a five year gap Sparklehorse are back with a new album Dreamt for Light Years in the Belly of a Mountain and they're touring with dates in Dublin on the 14th & 15th of October. It's great to see to him back and healthy the last time I saw him in 2002 I wondered if I'd ever see him again.

Apparently this represents the new sober Chan, the one who actually performs unlike her last 'performance' in Dublin. If it holds I might even go see her again.

dEUS Live

I saw dEUS not once but twice while in Paris, first at the Solidays festival where the picture was taken (there's more if you're interested on my flickr page)I saw them last November in Dublin when this tour kicked off and they rocked then but have since turned it up a few more notches and that in front of a French audience determined to confirm the national stereotype that they can't rock. I also caught another inspired performance on the opening night of the Paris Plage where they where joined by Stef Kamil Carlens (co-founder now in Zita Swoon)which just added to my belief that they're the best live band on the road today. They'll be at the Electric Picnic in September, don't miss them.

David Bowie's teeth

How Bowie made it out of the Great British Book of Smiles. Fascinating as this is it also helps explain his fall from greatness. Obviously the quality of his music is inversely proportional to the quality of his teeth which leads me to believe that his talent was in his teeth. However, my wife believes that his ex wife Angie is the catalyst for all his good music - his early albums sucked, he married Angie around Hunky Dory his first good album and split with her around scary monsters his last good album - another pretty convincing theory but one weakened I think by the strong teeth evidence and don't even get me started on the hair... Yes, the collapse in Bowie's talent is a not infrequent topic of conversation in our home.

Lordi and that loser Brian Kennedy

An afterword on Lordi's win in the Eurovision -check out TCAL(my favourite Irish blog) with their new Lordi masthead for all the details. I watched the Eurovision (semis not the final) for the first time in years because of Finland, Lithuania and Iceland's realising that the Eurovision is a joke and treating it accordingly. Meanwhile Ireland keeps trying to win it with total crap that brings shame on the nation, why? Dave Fanning has a great rant on crap Irish eurovision entries and the people who promote them on Marian Finucanes's radio show here (real audio link skip to 1.49) and comes up with the great idea that RTE fund the alternative eurovision people to come up with an appropriate eurovision entry. Either that or the Warlords of Pez as suggested on TCAL sounds good to me

These MP3s are for novelty and testing purposes only and I'll keep them up till my bandwidth goes or I get threatened, whichever comes sooner.
On a related note I've always thought that David Bowie and Bing Crosby video - as an example of where uncontrolled drug use ends up -would make an excellent anti drugs ad, but does anyone listen to me...?

dEUS

A rather belated mention of dEUS at the ambassador last Friday. Deus are always a good live act but tended to be a bit patchy at times. It seems the break and the new lineup have worked wonders because gone where all the old tensions and they played a faultless high energy set, a mixture of the new album and a selection from the back catalogue finishing with a barnstorming finale of suds and soda. It was, in my opinion, one the best rock gigs I've ever seen and I think deus on that form are the best live rock act today. The only gripe I'd have is the absolute mania some people have to photograph the entire show (I understand a pic or 2 but the entire bloody show?) with their crappy camera phones. At any one time I think they were about five phones held aloft in sweaty hands blocking my view.

Check out the wasted and wounded tourblog by a fan who is following the tour, includes setlists, the odd mp3 and more sycophancy then is normally considered healthy.
