Patrick Kelleher - Coat To Wear (Duffy's Ditties No.12)


As the tag says Ethereal Dream Pop from Patrick Kelleher
accompanied by wonderful super 8 video. Coat To Wear
bounces around the stereo like a malevolence spawn of
Shockheaded Peters and Kate Bush. Taken from his excellent
6 track EP "You Look Cold". With only 75 numbered hand
cut and hand glued cdr made they are sure to be snapped
up quickly. Available from Road Records or though his
myspace, I think for the pauperly price of €5. Or
alternatively you can pick it up if you catch him playing a
stripped down show tomorrow night with his backing band
"The Wet Dreams" at The Bernard Shaws on Richmond St.
Portobello, where he will be unleashing new material or
Supporting God Is An Astronaut in a brand spanking new
theatre in Greystone on Saturday the 7th of June.

Hunter - Gatherer - I Dreamed I Was A Footstep In The Trail Of A Murderer (Virtual 7" No.3)

Photobucket
Two tracks from fuzzed up electronic mistro mystery man. He makes fairly
"moody broody" electronic music which is not a mile miles away from
Trentemoller and Plaid. This is but a brief glimispe into whats to
come from Hunter - Gatherer canon. If he sustains the quality,
a full lp is set to be an interesting prospect.

Eurovision 2008


Threatening Europe with the No vote to the Lisbon Treaty
was a was good idea, but no joy. Ireland's entry is/was
a Turkey, I'm not joking and we didn't get into the final.
For some reason I thought Dustin was a shoe in but it
wasn't to be. So all my hope and dreams now rest in the
hands of Sebastien Tellier.

Night And Day Mixtape



Cover photo taken somewhere in Cavan.
So the summer is finally here. To celebrate my new found love of drinking
outside in the warm weather again, here's a mixtape to get me going in the
morning after the night before, part organic electronica, part 60's psychedelic
and couple of other things in between.

Side A
01 Sowiesoso (So Not So So) - Cluster
I always thought this sounded like the tune in "The
subway scene" in Crocadile Dundee. Take from my
favourite Cluster album 'Sowiesoso' from 1976.
02 Sun Arise - Rolf Harris
For a live vid from a couple of years ago go HERE.
03 Somnambulist - Small Sails

04 The Villagers - Ellis Island Sound

05 Nautical By Nature - Coney Island Sound
Taken from a wonderful compilation "Catch Of The Day 3"
on Kipper Records.
06 What Do You Think Will Happen Next - Final Fantasy
Off his contribution to Tomlab's Excellent alphabet 7" Series.
07 Look, I Wore A Tie! - Patrick Kelleher

Side B
11 The Old Man's Back Again (Dedicated To The Neo-
Stalinist Regime) - Scott Walker
One of his finest of Scott 4.
12 Old ManWillow - Elephant's Memory
Wonderful psychedelic from 1969, similar vein as the Scott
Walker song. Broadcast have a song that sounds exactly like
is.
13 2080 - Yeasayer

14 Hurry On Sundown - Hawkwind
First song, first album, great stuff.
15 You'Re Gonna Miss Me - 13th Floor Elevators

16 Batidode Limão - Aroldo Santos
A nice 60s bralizan jive tune.
17 Brazil - The Arcade Fire
Wonderful cover from the title tune from Terry Gilliam's
"Brazil".
18 Superstar - Carpenters

19 I Can't Stand It - Telepathe
