Tune Of The Day: Ghostpoet – MSI MUSMID
If you’ve ever read this blog before, you’ll know that I have a lot of time for Ghostpoet, and for Gilles Peterson. So whilst I was rather disappointed to hear that Ghostpoet has left Peterson’s Brownswood record label, I was dead…
Tune Of The Day: David Bowie – Sound And Vision
I love cover versions. I love advertising. I love music in advertising. But sometimes even a great creative strategy and a shit load of cash can’t beat the brilliance of an original. What it was, what it is. Watch our newest commercial featuring the…
Tune Of The Day: Manic Street Preachers – Australia
I can’t believe I haven’t done this already.

Tune Of The Day: Marc Mac Presents The Visioneers – Paul’s Guitar Story
Marc Mac has been close to the beating heart of contemporary British for over two decades now. He was genre defining in the early 90s dance/hardcore movement, as part of A Homeboy, A Hippie & A Funki Dredd and redefined drum & bass…

Tune Of The Day: U2 – Angel Of Harlem
I’ve said before that U2 probably top the list of bands it’s cool to hate, but when the sun is shining, you’re having breakfast in a lovely cafe in Melbourne, and Angel Of Harlem, with its wonderful Stax-style horns comes on…
Tune Of The Day: The Cars – Drive
It couldn’t be anything other than Drive by The Cars really, could it? Who’s gonna tell you when It’s too late Who’s gonna tell you things Aren’t so great You can’t go on Thinking nothing’s wrong Who’s gonna drive you home tonight…
Everything on this site is the opinion of me, Ciarán Norris, and no-one else, including my employers and anyone else I know. I guess that it's probably obvious, but thought I should probably make it explicit.
