Ok so its the night after the night before
as planned I went to lovefectus last nite in silversprings.... it was epic... aside from the amount of blood in the jacks and the sheer amount of hooligans, tunes were good, vibe was good & every one (for the most part) had a good night.
basically the set up was 3 "areas", the foyer with simply Cork DJs - Steve O C, Anto, Mucca, Dashka - all very good! one major problem - the sound system they were using was shocking....
then the downstairs room was the "hard room" alex kidd being the headliner... hard is right, alex kidd was playing CRAZY shit.... myself and my mate hoggy started running around the gaff! mad craic
upstairs then was the trance room with marcel woods head lining, he was good but some of his mixes were somewhat out of time shall we say?
good night tho!
ok so bito a topic....
Global 91.1 radio - Cork's latest & greatest.
as most people will know pirate radio in Cork over the last 5-6 years has been for the most part absolute ear rape but there seems to be light at the end of the tunnel
as I have been proficising (if thats how you spell it?) I reckon creativity increases masivly during recessionary times, be this because people have more time on their hands or because the average punter wants more for their money???
any way, if one looks at the amount of really good music nights that have been run in Cork in the past year that the proof in the pudding.... I was talking yesterday about the go deep nights in the pavilion, for ages this was the only option if you wanted to hear something that wasn't on the red fm charts that evening, recently there have been so many more options! more promoters are bringing in big names, if one watches the forums, one will see the amount of gigs being promoted every week & I for one think its great! between things like cans with hans in the liquid lounge every thursday, myself & hoggy spinnin house in the brú every thursday, the monotonik nights bringing minimal techno to the masses, the inferno nights in an cruscín lán and the various other nights running in places like the vinyard, barcode & savoy, our city is humming to the sound of the underground once again! (and not the girls aloud song...)
ok so as I mentioned yesterday I will be slowly but surly running through my highlights of the music year (maybe even a few other highlights aswell!)
but for me this year the 2 artists/groups that stand out have to be la roux & florence and the machine, not my usuail style but I have listened to both debut albums backwards and I love them! I think female singers are starting to make a comeback, despite the likes of lad gaga (no i didn't forget the y) and beyoncé (who has frankly gotten shitter with time) there is some good music out there if you look for it!
so ya that was a bito a rant about music!
maybe tomorow I will get back to talking absolute shite!
