In this week’s Day And Night Column, in between Marion Cotillard’s Forehead Tittaes and the usual video, sites and links roundup, I’ve written a feature on the 10 Irish music blogs you should check out (myself excluded). I tried to get a good mix in there from indie to electronic to pop to mainstream so don’t come crying to me if you’re not listed 🙂
Also, as you’re probably aware from the amount of SXSW things around here this past week, I was in Texas at the South by SouthWest festival having an awesome and amazing time seeing about 50 bands in 4 days. I have written a cover story in Day and Night about the 15 bands to check out as a result (plus a short but on how two of the Irish bands got on).
Read it in the Irish Independent today or online.

cheers niall, that was very nice of you. Kevin the clareman.
Oops.
I was under the impression you were in Dublin. You’re just so mysterious..
Genuine thanks for the mention man. My mam wants to know what a blog is now so she can explain to my granny.
Hee hee, about as mysterious as an episode of Fr. Dowling.
It would be really kind if you would link to/follow/post about our blog:
