I’m not sure why the end of the noughties should necessarily lead to any kind of retrospective of the nineties, but it has. I guess it has a lot to do with the fact that I just feel it’s way too early for me to figure out what I make of the noughties. So, given [...]

Listen again to a mixture of music and chat on 6Music, a classical treat, a lecture on Mary Woolstonecraft and the swansong of Archers stalwart Norman Painting Guy Garvey's Finest Hour (Sunday, 6Music) is always a pleasure; a fine combination of good music and companionable chat. "Debonair and distinctive on 6Music" booms one of the jingles, in the voice of a very pukka gent from the 1950s,...

I guess now, everyone has their myspace story. Arctic Monkeys, Lily Allen, Kate Nash BLAH BLAH BLAH. Yes, I first heard Nash on myspace and I fell in love a bit, but when I first heard Town Bike and their only song, Ride Of Ya Life, on Myspace, I fell in love a lot. You know how every band’s first album is so much better than their second? They reckon it’s cos you’ve got a lifetime...

BLINDING set by Jon's Codeine Velvet Club as the Fratelli hints his old band is finished

Few bands have the indie cred of the Velvet Underground, who pretty much invented the concept. Forever known for a small following with a mega-normous influence, it is an honor to be called the VU of anything—even though, like many honors, it comes with little cashola.

Olympia, Dublin:What an unusual career Ian Brown has had. Twenty years ago, he was the figurehead of the world’s most acclaimed band, as The Stone Roses released an ageless debut album and his voice soundtracked a generation.I Wanna Be Adored, he used to sing, and adored he was. Nowadays, Cheryl Cole gets more serious critical consideration. The consensus among taste-makers says Brown is irrelevant...

Tonight I am going to be arguably cooler than I usually am on most Monday nights, and go listen to the dramatic and addictive sounds of The Big Pink at Denver’s Larimer Lounge. This duo from London (touring now with a rad female drummer) won NME’s influential Philip Hall Radar Award at the Shockwaves NME [...]

Mick Middles - Factory: The Story Of The Record Label Factory Records are, to those who don't know, the brainchild and record label of Tony Wilson, the man who was behind the Hacienda in Manchester which was the forefront of the introduction of house music and rave culture to Britain, and the "Madchester" phenomenon of the 80s and early 90s. This era was just before my time so naturally I'm...

It was The YOI's most successful night at 93 Feet East last week and I got lucky and happened to be behind the decks for some of it. I'd chosen to go down the indie/rock route and it seemed to go down well, suiting the kind of club that 93 Feet East is. Here's what I played, in a slightly random order (and it was a two and a half hour set so it's quite a big list)... Passion Pit - Sleepyhead The Virgins...

Ever wondered why I Am the Resurrection and Fools Gold feature in so many playlists? It's to allow the DJ enough time to sprint to the loo and back Further proof this week, if any were needed, that Stairway to Heaven is musical cancer, comes from Led Zeppelin biographer Charles R Cross. He has posited the theory that the eight-minute opus has become one of the most broadcast songs in history because...

For me, Music is a big part of my life, I play the drums have been doing for around 9 years and my musical tastes range from jazz to death metal to dubstep. The music I grew up with was Pink Floyd,The Jam,The The,The Smiths etc all thanks to my old man and his mate ( Who has been very big in musical influance for me) From this I started listening to metal music where I went through a phase of listening...

Michael Bublé's music might sound like a boring mishmash of adult contemporary tropes, but it's just a front -- he has a dark secret, and Jack Feerick knows what it is.
