Some fun/interesting links..

Bell X1 are album of the week in the Sunday Times for the excellent Blue Lights on the Runway, (which I still haven't gotten around to reviewing, but have worn out listening to - yes, it is good)
Check out the Culture review here..

The JD Set takes place tomorrow night in the Trinity Rooms, featuring local man Nick Carswell and his Elective Orchestra - plus Aortal and Neon Stars - and Camogie Lovers, VIC and Roadrunner on Friday night. It's free too, and some free Jack Daniels? Yes please..

The Observer/Guardian are running a superb feature about the 1000 songs everyone must hear - well worth flicking through..

Video here for Dublin band Halfset, who, to sound like a broken record, are playing in the Belltable on Saturday night along with the equally superb Adrian Crowley - I can't recommend this gig enough, and only 8 bobs concession (the magic word is Eightball). Watch the video for Salmon here.
