    Some atmosphere in Croker today, really exciting tight game till the end. Cork just about value for the win, they were savage in the second half anfter being fairly septic in the firs and Down vice versa. Felt a bit sorry for Down but what can ya do. I like the GAA's new tradition of playing the winning county's song over the speakers after the game.

    Also Berbatov, f*cking hell.

    google Christy Dignam and click updates to see people's Twitter feeds. Looks like an over-reaction.

    Hi folks, Christy had to be taken to hospital tonight after he collapsed from exhaustion but he'll be ok. Thanks to everyone for their messages of concern and apologies to those who were at the gig tonight. We will reschedule and we'll see you all again.

    From their official Facebook

    Can't say I've ever heard of them.

    They are possibly the most tedious band that Ireland has ever produced.
    Ignore at all costs. :)

    Some argue if it weren't for Christy's heroin addiction they would have made it

    I'd never wish anything on anyone, it's just not in my nature.

    But if that guy DOES die, then the media are going to be throwing aslan at us from every direction.

    ... Think I might leave the country for a few months...

    Christ, that's such a hard question to answer. I am weird in that I don't really listen to bands, I prefer solo artists for reasons unknown to myself. I suppose if pushed right now, I might say either Boards of Canada/ Jurassic 5 or more likely Interpol. I should probably say someone from the 80's but nah.:pac:

    Its something I definitely have on the to-do list alright, something always gets in the way every year when it somes around. Greatest guitarist of all time IMO. I'd say its some craic.

    Probably the hardest question that I can think of to be honest.

    I'd have to go with The Smiths although it can change depending on what mood I'm in.


    Major props to Rjd2 for the BOC love.

    Back in the day,I used to love listening to them at nighttime or when doing an all nigher college thing.:pac: Sigur Ros would be another that be great for late night listening.
    Anyways lads Boards Of Canada are awesome.

    An other group I used to adore back in the day but haven't thought of until I was actually posting this post! was Grandaddy. I must relisten to some of their stuff in the net few weeks.

    Has to be Alice In Chains. With Layne, and with William. No other band comes close to Alice in Chains as far as striking a personal chord with me.

    Heres two videos with Layne(RIP)...showing both sides of the band.

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qNf1hRkVnM4




    Heres two with the new singer, william.

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SZTQ7xlFFA8


    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ll1lwzMfUfM


    The second song was written about Layne. With the piano part provided by none other than Sir Elton John.

    Sorry about the amount of videos...but my god I love that band.:o
