Tune Of The Day: Creep – Matthijs Vlot (feat. Lance Armstrong)
Apparently Lance Armstrong thinks the criticism around him is petty bullshit. Because it’s not like he ruined people’s lives. Creep. More cut-up genius here.

Tune Of The Day: The Libertines – Time For Heroes
My favourite radio station, BBC 6 Music is 10 years old, and has released the 100 best tunes since its birth: listening to the playlist I stumbled across this by the one-time saviours of music to-be, The Libertines. It still…
My Marmalade: Suede – My Dark Star
So, a new year, another attempt to get more out of my blog. A while back I went for playing shuffle on the iPod. This time I’m taking my direction from start-up This Is My Jam which, though a service…

Why U2 Were Right & Coldplay Were Wrong
It seems that along with talking about the weather, and wondering when the British man will get knocked out of Wimbledon, discussing the headliners for Glastonbury’s Pyramid Stage has become an annual summer tradition. A few years ago Jay Z…
Elbow – Lippy Kids
I know that I’m hardly breaking new ground by posting this, but I’ve been listening to the new album by Elbow on rotation for about a week now, and simply can’t get the refrain from Lippy Kids, which gives the…
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.
Anyway, enjoy!
