Jimmy Behan - In the Sudden Distance EP (They're Giving It Away No. 9)

Delicate haunty chimes ring out above your pillowed young head. In bed, waiting for your parents to drive back in the dark. Each passing car's headlines leaving douglas furs trances on the wall. You think something could have happened in the dark snow, leaving you and your bother behind. But they come back, safe. Door a jar, "Just checking to see if your asleep".
Another amazing release which is available for free from the artist themselves.

Daily Misconceptions - If I Hug Your Sweaters Will They Get Their Colour Back? EP (They're Giving It Away, No.6)

Daily Misconceptions have made a collection
of sweet delicate electronica. The one man band
from Portugal is culled from the same herd as
Sigur Ros and their voice sampling ways and
Mum's glitchy glitch with a pinch of accordion to
soothe away any woes.

One Grain More - The Town Fair E.P. (They're Giving It Away No.4)

Sad news was transmitted over the auld wireless this evening.
"One Grain More" are no longer. I first hear them after pickin
up Havin' A Ball 7" from Road Records, hopefully more people will
now jump on their bandwagon now that the end is nigh.
They can only get more exposure in death than what they ever
got when they were hitting the hightways and byways of cruel
Britannia. I always thought they come across like a tropical Blurt.
See what you think yourself, you can download their last ever ep
for free of the main man from One Grain More own site here.

And/Or go down to your friendly local record shop and buy their
last album "Isle of Grain". The only regret you will have is not
buying it sooner.

Stoat - Acunamanacana

Born out from the kelp heaps, Stoat have forged a noise which sounds
like the Pixies and Primus been molested by Tom Waits's Rain Dog pirates.
Here's a great single with a killer b-side also.

The Sundowners - Goat Songs Ep (1993)

Bill Callahan/Smog + Palace Brothers/Will Oldham = The Sundowners.
The only Sundowners release, a 6 songs 7" collabration between
Bill Callahan and Will Oldham for 1993. They may or may not have
named this project after the 1950s western by the same name, but it's
all up in 12 parts on youtube. I haven't watched it so don't blame me
if the whole film is crud. The first part is great anyways (see Flash box).
Thanks to "Bonobos Hump To Music" for the heads up an age ago.

My Bloody Valentine - You Made Me Realise EP (1988)

So no home coming show for Ireland prodigal sons My Bloody Valentine,
yet anyways. It looks like we're all off to London so. Here's an ep that came
out before the first record. The iconic cover is soaked in Keats romanticisms.
She looks in ecstasy, intoxicated with nature and sex, like wild strawberrys,
but then you see the knife.

Buy it on ebay if your lucky.

Gang Gang Dance - RAWWAR EP (2007)

First time i hear of Gang Gang Dance was back in 2006 when
me and my friend paddy went to primavera sounds. We took
trips and we were fairly high after the Violent Femmes
followed by the ridiculously amazing Stereolab, still buzzing and
nowhere to go, we then headed over to Gang Gang Dance just
because of their name. It seemed that their music was catering for
peeps on acid, aural busts of cut up tribal noise with with banshee
wailing and retenia burning strobe lights, it was an amazing experience.
We manage to see them again last year back in September. We only
found out they were playing that night an hour before the show,
cycled in, danced out socks of and when drinking tick tick tequila
with the banshee singer; Nice. Check out some great tour diary
videos on youtube. Here is the first one and here is their last ep.

Iron And Wine - Woman King Ep

To celabrate the return of Sam Beam aka Iron And Wine
to our shores on October 27, at Ambassador Theatre in
Dublin. Here is outstanding EP which is heavy in tone
compared to his first two albums. I had a ticket to
see him back in 2004 when he first and last played
Ireland but dEUS reformed and i got a ticket to see
them in Paris since a friend of my was living there
at the time. But as it turned out both gigs were on
the same day, so i had to give away Iron and Wine ticket
to my flatmate. Bummer but seeing dEUS for the
first time with a head full of trips was chilling to see
the least and the little known Joanna Newsom was one
of the support acts. Never heard of her before and was
completely mystified by her. Ran down the stairs to
buy the album straight after see finished just in case
it would sell out. Here is a video of the first song
I ever heard of Iron and Wine back in 2003. It's on
his first album but i got it first on one of those
sub pop 5er sampler cds. The vid is directed by Mister
Beam himself.

Crystal Castles - Alice Practice 7" (2006)

Paintings: Trevor Brown
A friend of mine was giving out that 8Bit Bliss mix tape was not
that 8 bitty. Ok, yeah most songs are more analogy and not
corrosive 8bitty sounding but alot of songs have cheap sounding
instruments in them. Well anyway to rectify here is some horrible
8 bit trash from torondo 2 piece "Crystal Castles". They are touring
all over the shop as we speak, hitting Eire on the 25th of November.
Check out their Myspace for futher info.

Bonnie 'Prince' Billy - Dream Of A Drunk Black Southern Eagle (1999)

"Released in 1999 as a free item for subscribers of the
French daily newspaper Libération. It contains two singles
previously released in the U.S. in 1998: "One with the Birds" /
"Southside of the World" and "I Am Drinking Again" /
"Dreaming My Dreams". The fifth track, "Song for the New
Breed (orchestral)", is an alternate recording of "Song for the
New Breed", which originally appeared on Bonnie 'Prince' Billy's
I See a Darkness album in 1999. This version is exclusive to
this release." -Wikipedia
The first two songs "One For The Birds" and "Southside Of
The World" are top notch and reason enough to get the EP.
