Crystal Castles, Sunset Rubdown

March 26th, 2008 Justin

Long time no blog…

What have I been listening to? Well, top of the playlist has been the Hercules and Love Affair album, with Pilooski’s two D-I-R-T-Y edit collections from last year close behind. But coming up fast is the new Crystal Castles album. ‘Untrust Us’, the opener, is a new one on me and is beautiful:

Crystal Castles - Untrust Us

I’ve just bought tickets for Crystal Castles at Andrew’s Lane — this will be a great gig, I think.

Also proving interesting — Sunset Rubdown! mental, psychedelic-ish, Of Montreal-ish rock:

Sunset Rubdown - Up On Your Leopard, Upon The End Of Your Feral Days

Apart from that — Ladytron are coming to Dublin, and I have a couple of tix on my board ready to go. Ian, I’m looking at you?

Also, picked up the new Dengue Fever album — but sadly it hasn’t quite grabbed me yet :( Give it time, I guess.

Irish record industry vs. Eircom

If you’re interested, I wrote a post about the Irish record industry’s case against Eircom over here on me other blog.

I can’t believe I’m actually in the position of plugging for Eircom.
