Oxegen 2008

Now i wouldn’t usually do this and maybe its the old grumpy bastard but i sincerely hope everyone who goes to Oxegen 2008 gets pissed on from a height :)

A lifetime ago I went to Witnness Festival in god knows where and it poured rain for the whole of the first day, the second day in my wrecked jeans (before it was fashion to have wrecked jeans) and borrowed tee from AlanMack i staggered around after completely making a disaster of myself at the free Guinness tent. I was completely abandoned by the crew with some stranger in the Guinness Compliments tent who had some allergy to wheat or some jazz so i bagged his free pints and he seemed to follow me around for the remainder of the day like a loyal puppy!

Fun times. Happy times. Times not to be rememberd.

What was #1 in the Charts when your born?

the very best of daryl hall   john oates b000056cch

Only the most notable duet group FUNK namely :

“Maneater” by Daryl Hall & John Oates

Yeah I hadn’t a fucking idea either but apparently they were hot in the eighties (da eighties!).

Worse still find out what song was playing when you were most likely conceived. . .

“I Love Rock ‘n Roll” by Joan Jett & the Blackhearts

GRRRRR Although my dad maintains it was the Rolling Stones. . eh . .

Although both made comebacks as big songs for popular artists!

What about you??

Nine Inch Nails – Hurt (J. Cash)

Worth a plug, don’t like N.I.N. but sure the song is good good good!

Sarah McLachlan -River

This is about as christmassy as I’m gonna get tonight, a great song , not quite the same as the original BUT a close second…if you have a minute hit play and get into the mood you festive focks!

TelevisionTunes.com

Great site that features over 3000 tunes from all the top shows we’ve loved over the years and the ones we’ve come to hate!
The site is pucker to use and find the show you want and gives you the chance to hear it instantly, download it or email to a friend who will equally think your an asshole!

Bruce Springsteen Dublin – RDS May 2008


Over on Ricks Blog he has tickets for the Boss’s upcoming gig that he’s giving away on his show today.
Looked up ticketmaster and was shocked that the tickets for the gig are a little shy of 100 notes each!

Now im not a concert going person to be honest but this is one of the concerts i would have wanted to go to, now il be on holidays as it happens but is there anything in this country that hasn’t sky rocketed in price!!

The Zombeatles – A Hard Day’s Night of the Living Dead

It’s very rare that i would use the word ‘retarded’ but i think it fits appropriately here..

Again if your into that kinda thing…

Radiohead(ed for the Credit Union?)


Now i’ve safely been through my darkest of teenage depressions an i will admit that the bends is a great album but i was absoloutly smug when i found out that Radioheads latest album, released under the ‘pay as much or as little as you want’ system, has done well, shit! Well i dont even know if shit is the right term but i certainly hope at least one of them goes bankrupt…smug bastards..


Nearly two-thirds of downloaders paid nothing for Radiohead’s latest album, a survey has suggested.

In Rainbows (rob it, it is legal after all!)
