										Starting to get very excited about this band. A cross between the beach boys and Belle & Sebastian. Youth Is Wasted On The Young, their debut, is fab. Haven't been this enthused since David Kitt (erm, geddit!). What do the rest of ye think

										This band are truly wonderful. Faultless songs and production and lovers of great music yet keeping their own identity. Please post away with whatever opinions you may have but it would be great to hear from people who know or have bought ALMOND TEA - ALMANAC & the latest (and best) JOLLITY.
Bloody great live too.

- Have the days gone where we used to thrive on discovering a new band in Doran's on a Friday night, made an effort to travel outside of Dublin for a gig (or travelled to Dublin, if you are in different counties/countries) or making sure to catch the Irish band who are supporting the big international act we have paid over the odds for

										My girlfriend is a big Prodigy fan and her birthday being last weekend, I brought her along to the Prodify gig in the odyssey on friday night. They put on a great show. But one of the things that really impressed me was how the whole operation was run.
First off, the Venue itself. Amazing setup there. From the parking to the gig experience itself. Could easily enter and leave to go to the toilets or to the bar. No one telling you you cant go out this exit. Very easy to get near the front if y... |  |  |  | 1 | 1269 | 11/21/2005 9:00 AM |

										Has anyone come up with the novel idea of selling the original artwork that you get when you buy CD's from the downtown (rip-off) merchants. There are loads of ways to download music (i)legally yet if you wish to burn to CD you are stuck with a grainy home printer job. Lets face it half the fun of listening to music is leafing through the accompanying artwork at the same time. Having the original shiny version would be nice. Perhaps I am not looking in the wrong places. Can you advise |  |  |  | 2 | 2408 | 11/17/2005 9:46 PM |
