TuneIn is a fantastic app that allows you to listen to radio stations from all over the world! Another great way to listen to new music based on artists you like!
Limerick’s Static Vision have an EP out currently “What Is and Now”. It’s available through Spotify & sounds something like an Irish version of The Ramones & Iggy And The Stooges! Link to their Spotify below:
In 1 weeks time in The Academy,Peter Hook & The Light will be playing! World renowned bassist for Joy Division & New Order will be playing all the hits & hopefully we’ll get a bit of this;
Have been listening a lot to KUTX 98.9 on the TuneIn Radio App (A great app that allows you to listen to most any radio station in the world). This song keeps getting a play & its fantastic!!!
New song from Irish Band SKYFEVER. The lads are releasing a new album soon & this song is currently being played on radio stations all over the world! Even the great Alice Cooper recently gave them the seal of approval on his radio show. Have a listen & see what you think.
I started listening to Tom Petty when I finished secondary school around the time I was 18. I bought his Through The Years anthology because an artist I liked Pete Droge, had toured with him & said what a big influence he was. I was shocked how many of his songs I knew without knowing it was him all those years, when I subsequently got into the Travelling Wilburys I knew even more of his songs.
I bought pretty much all his albums from then on & had him on constant rotation. I got to see him a few years back when he played Dublin & he was fantastic. I arrived back from Canada the day of the show & went from the airport to the show & it was worth every penny.
I’ve never really been sad or down about a musician dying before but for some reason it hit me hard. When it was prematurely reported he’d died and then word got out that he was alive but in critical condition I stayed up until about 1am constantly refreshing Google News to see if there was any updates & hoping there would be good news. By the time I woke up at 6am he’d unfortunately passed.
You can see from the tributes from other artists etc what a lovely man he was & how much he influenced people.
Below is a song that I read had been wrote years before but recorded for the first time for the Anthology record, for nearly any other band it would of been one of their best songs & almost certain to be recorded/released as soon as possible but Tom had such an amount of hits it could be held on to for so many years.
In what seems like a great idea; “Tales From The Tour Bus” an animated Country Music TV show detailing the wildest stories of Waylon Jennings, Tammy Wynette & others premiered in America the weekend! It’ll have tales from most everyone in country music so in theory in could be a real funny watch
