Here's an unexpected, daft and simply terrific re-edit from Hamburg's Tensnake of Radiohead's "Everything In It's Right Place" which might be new or ... might not be? Either way, I love it. Continue Reading...
*Old Man Voice* "Waaaaay back in '89, I got dragged by a buncha n'eer-do-wells from my College Radio Station to see some ol' mystery band name of Sykurmolarnir at this club name of CBGB's. You whippersnappers are too young to remember that place, but it was, what is it you kids say these days? .....it was THE SHIT!!! Continue Reading...
I'm a sucker for a good back story. So when I stumbled upon the Wikipedia entry for "ghost estates" while searching for the band of the same name and found out that the term refers to abandoned houses from a boom and bust in Ireland called the Celtic Tiger period, I was pretty much smitten (luckily it turns out ).
