I did indeed give it a whirl. Yep not a bad effort, are they going through the thankless task of trying to get signed or is it fun?


I know some guys in another Irish band called New Vegas. They struggled to get signed, won the Dublin Battle of the Bands, plaudits in the Irish Times, but just couldn't get that lucky break.

They split up a couple of months back which was a pity as I genuinely thought them better than some of the success stories out there.

I still get to see the two brother's play over bongos and keyboard in a 'raw sex' manner in a little bar called Nico's in New Ross, Wexford.


I post one of their fabulous efforts in memoriam as it were.

(apologies for dreadful compression to get file under

No, Scott doesn't chase record deals, just does it for fun I think. He did make an album a few years ago, and sold it himself.


He lives in Tokyo and records in his spare room, and plays mandolin in an Irish folk band!


New Vegas sounds good but blimey you've compressed it to death!

Ooh, had a bit of a spree in Fopp today:


The Bees - Octpous

The Bird and the Bee - Eponymous

Laura Veirs - Saltbreaker


THe last is just terrific, love it, loads of influences Echobelly, Lush, Joanna Newsome a bit of Curesque guitar som eHowling Bells as well as the usual Joni Mitchelly bits thrown in

enjoy


Crystal, apparently she's done a couple of guest spots on the Decemberists if she sounds familiar

She is obsessed with the sea. songs on this album include Ocean Night Song, Drink deep, Cast A Hook In Me and Wrecking.

She seems to sweet to splinter someone's fingers.


Also loving The Bird and the Bee btw

    • update - we got a space which is ideal for what we needed at Dulwich storeage (thanks for the suggestion,  ed_pete)
    • I think I am becoming addicted to reporting dog waste and fly tipping - so easy to use, who knows the council might actually put some dog waste bins back up (we used to have one on Ulverscroft Road) and signage to remind careless owners to pick up their dog's mess and put it in a bin - preferably their own bin or a black public one rather than someone's green or blue bin, or leave it on the pavement. So disgusting.
    • I recently had Greg install some radiators and TRVs - he was very professional and efficient, and did the job well! He also helped me out in a pickle with a leaky bathroom towel rail. I'd recommend! Thanks Greg! 
    • Oh dear. Sadly I had a disappointing meal on Saturday night. I should have read Malumbu's review above before I ordered. I thought I'd have a dosa for a change. Our meal arrived very quickly. However the dosa was more like a thick and very soggy pancake. The filling was fine. The sambar (sp?) was fine. The chutneys were not what I was expecting, and had a consistency more like sauces.  That might be my lack of knowledge of South Indian food, but I would have expected the coconut chutney to at least taste a bit like coconut. I left most of the actual dosa. My OH said his aubergine curry was delicious. I don't know whether the problem was that the dosa got soggy due to being wrapped in foil to be delivered, but tbh it didn't look like it had ever been a thin crispy dosa 😥 as I have always had in the past  at South Indian restaurants.
