Bob Dylan - The Best Of
"You got a lotta nerve
To say you are my friend
When I was down
You just stood there grinning
You got a lotta nerve
To say you gota helping hand to lend
You just want to be on the side that's winning"

Ocean Colour Scene - Song's For The Front Row
I believe these guys absolutely rocked Cois Fharraige last weekend and then for some very strange reason Paddy Casey came on to finish the night, talk about wrecking the buzz!!!

Competition Answer
OK , The mystery band are "Mocking Bird". They were formed in Dublin around about 15 years ago but split I think some time in the early 90's. I have not seen any information about them on the net and any links would be appreciated!
For those of you who like the song Super Human Being just click.
I hope to get some more material soon, Ill keep ya posted!

The Pogues - The Very Best Of
The Votes have been counted and verified and the winners are ......."Others".. So the last post of Keeping It Irish Week goes to The Pogues
Their best years are probably behind them but songs like A Pair Of Brown Eyes & A Rainy Night in Soho are just amazing.
Even Better Than The Real Thing Vol.2
Hear some great Irish artists do their own interpretations of some well known songs, all live & acoustic.
Profits from sales of Even Better Than The Real Thing Vol 2 will go to The National Children's Hospital, Tallaght & Barretstown.

Playlist - The Definitive Collection Of Irelands Best New Music
This was a "freebie" from a well known music store who like to over charge. There are a lot of really good artists on it and its well worth a listen.
See comments for track list.
U2 - The Joshua Tree
Over the years I kind of just lost interest in U2 and if I had to pick a U2 album then this would definitely be it. Reminds me of a "lovely" spell in hospital when someone brought me up a Walkman and this on cassette. Hmmm... I wonder if Bono healed me...
Competition Time - Who Are We?
OK Folks , Just a bit of fun!
The song you hear on this blog at the time of this post was written about one of the band members sisters who suffered from Agoraphobia. Its a fantastic sad song called Super Human Being and I happened to see it performed live one night in Dublin.
So the question is , Who are they????
If you guess right you get to choose any album (still available) you like as the next post.

Damien Dempsey - Seize The Day
" Shane McGowan loves the Dublin town
I drank with him once and woke up on the ground
Maybe some day we'll meet up
And do brunch somewhere and a shandy too" - Jar Song
Jack L - Jack L
I must admit, Ive never seen this fella live but I hear he puts on a bit of a show. This is the only E.P I have belong to him, he sings a good version of Hallelujah ( not as good as Jeff B!) and I think the song Georgie Boy (which he belts out) is a cracker!
The Cake Sale
All profits from The Cake Sale go to Oxfam Ireland in support of their Make Trade Fair Campaign and their overseas programme work.

Republic Of Loose - AAAGH!
"They performed live for us at Oxygen in a session I am told is quite typical of them. It didn't look like it was going to work, the sound checks were a mess, they seemed not to be concentrating, the singer went missing as we were about to start and suddenly there it was, pure class. Looking forward to the album." - Tom Dunne

Aslan - Made In Dublin
These Lads must have played every venue in Ireland at least 5 times.. They are still on the go releasing new material. This is their live album recorded in Vicar Street. There is a cracking cover of Pink Floyd's Wish You Were Here at the end..
The Brilliant Trees - Like You A Lot, Love You A Little
If you have never heard this band then this is may be your only chance....
Fair Well Lads...

Damien Rice - O
So then Damien releases this Album and did'nt it do well!
I saw him play in the Beacon Theater in NYC last Christmas with Glen Hansard and Lisa Hannigan. It was a great gig and a great way to celebrate a birthday!
Bell X1 - Flock
Keeping It Irish All Week At Mi-Tunes
For those who don't know the story behind Bell X1.. They were once called Juniper and their lead singer was Damien Rice. He left and it was left up to their drummer Paul Noonan to step forward. They never looked back and this is a great album!
Oasis - Whats The Story Morning Glory?
Can you believe it was 12 years ago?
CLIVE MYRIE: It's been described as the British pop music heavyweight championship. In one corner, four young middle class men from the south of England collectively known as Blur, and in the other corner five young working class men from Manchester called Oasis. They're the two most popular bands in Britain, having sold millions of records, and they're currently engaged in a chart war that's set the music industry alight.
Blur - Parklife
Remember this seemed like a big deal?
BBC 1 6 O’Clock News, August 14th 1995
JOHN HUMPHREYS: Two of Britain's most popular pop groups have begun the biggest chart war in over 30 years. The Manchester band “Oasis” and their arch-rivals “Blur” have both released new singles today, each hoping to reach the number one spot next week. The music industry hasn't seen anything like it since The Beatles fought it out with The Rolling Stones in the 60s. Clive Myrie reports.

James - The Best Of
It was a bit strange seeing these guys play Oxygen this year, the Killers were on at the same time on the main stage and also Daft Punk, as a result only about 200 people turned up. However they did play a great set and it was great to hear their old stuff live for the first time. Rumor has it they are back on a tour and could be coming to a town near you. Well worth checking out, even for old times sake!
