We're all getting old and your sig is starting to come true for us.

Coachella looks mighty tempting but I'd be doing it alone and I hear it's just not like festivals here, with it's strict security and designated drinking areas and such. Still Cracking line up and should be great weather.

Make a trip out of it and come visit meeeee!

I was out at Workman's last night and there was loads of people talking about DFA, all giddy with excitement

Will you be there by April?

I'm tempted to go to Primavera Sound again, but the line-up isn't as good as last year.

There's a few acts I like, but I have seen them all, and there's a lot of iffy bands.

Still, an excuse for a week in Barcelona

Don't worry, there's always New York. Constantly great things going on worthy of a visit.

Any idea what the release is - single/DVD?

There's a bit of dispute about it still. City With No Children is getting a single release on March 14th, but there's something else on the way shortly after.

It's been suggested that it might just refer to the full Spike Jonze video. I'd heard a while back that they were working on an EP, and I just assumed it was that, but it looks like it might be something else. Their endlessly douchey manager has pretty snarkily dismissed the idea of an album, but hasn't responded outright to a enquires about an EP.

Exactly, sorry it was supposed to be a joke but evidently the panic it inspired overwhelmed my otherwise faultless comic timing.

I ordered the special edition on their website, still not got it or heard the album. My fav song of theirs so far is While The Flies.

Just got a mail from city disks. They're closing in two weeks. Really really sad to see this happen. Always loved this store and it's staff. Best to all of them in the future.

Damn shame, Borderline seemed to avoid shutting down recently, must be hard to afford rent in temple bar.

in happier news, I picked up that "real estate" album in Freebird yesterday, it's winter outside but it's summer in my ears; it's bloody great.

That NI guy who works there said they played Crawdaddy a few months back, I really wish I'd heard this in time to catch that show.

That's a real shame. Good heads in there so they were.

I always wondered how they stayed open. Not that it isn't a fine shop - it is - but given the track record of record stores in Dublin, I was always impressed they were still going.

Alas, reality seems to have caught up with them

Right - it's off to New Jersey with me in September.

Saw this earlier in the day, tempting tempting... Archers of Loaf may play it too...

That would indeed be awesome.

Maybe as awesome as this http://megaswf.com/simple_serve/133/

Any Nirvana fans might be interested in a download of most of their August 1991 Cork gig from Sir Henry's pub.

"Cults" are on the line-up too, I am very fond of that "Go Outside" track.

Opinions whether or not they'll come across to Whelans or The Academy for a jig?

Old Vic Tunnels? Sweet!

Saw Villagers there last year and it's a quality venue. Will probably go to this even though I'm not a huge fan.

They'd be amazing in Whelans. I'd almost contemplate flying home to see them there....
