The Lonely H
Jenna got me into this band.
The Lonely H play American throwback rock with some seriously Kings of Leon-esque vocals. They released their first album 'Kick Upstairs' last year, when most of the band were just 16 years old. Their second album 'Hair' has just been released in the US.
Amazingly, they haven't graduated from high school yet. And probably won't need to by the sound of their tracks, one of which I've posted below.

Scream Club for Dublin!
Scream Club are AWESOME! Really and truly one of my favourite bands of the last while. So imagine my joy when I was checking out a new track on their MySpace page and saw they are playing in Dublin on September 5th - woohoo!
All of this amazingness is courtesy of one of the most innovative and rocking promoters in the game - Siobhan Magical Girl - who runs gigs at the Boom Boom Room.

In the meantime, Das Wanderlust play a Magical Girl gig at the Boom Boom Room on August 19th
Iano on Bebo
I nearly choked on my coffee there: Iano, the internet-phobe one third (the good third) of MeNoFemBo (the best band in the universe) has signed up to Bebo.
Go be his friend and annoy him.

UnaRocks' very scientific new band watch bazaar
I've come across a couple of Irish bands recently that I dig, yo. Check them out.
Beat The Whites
This Dublin sixsome have just been around since late Autumn. I like them because their songs are kind of weird. 'Lonely Souls' is cool though. They play the Hub on August 3rd. Like the Doors at a party with Mendoza or something. Speaking of Mendoza...

From the Meath / Kildare massive, they bring the emo-synths joy and three pretty good tracks you can download from their MySpace page.

Love it
As much as I prefer the sentiment of the Calvin Harris original, you have to love this Dragonette version of 'The Girls', called 'The Boys'
I hate Desperate Housewives
There I've said it.
Why does someone always have to be murdered / plotting murder / shoved in a freezer every five minutes?
Teri Hatcher looks like a Scream mask
That voice over is SO ANNOYING
Also stupid montages to go with voice over: tucking kids in, tying bows around a goddamn muffin basket or something, tweaking the curtains
CRAP English actor dude
Trey from Sex and the City (Kyle whatever). Go away now please
Stupid music - twinkly mischievous piano crap

Day-long festival: no drunkeness
I was at the Ben & Jerrys Sundae festival on Clapham Common in London yesterday. The festival took place over two days with around 10,000 people turning up each day. Bands including the Noisettes, Holloways, Ordinary Boys, Kate Nash and so on played. There was a Pimms bus, bars, free ice cream, a petting zoo, Pieminister, other great food, a helter skelter slide, a fortune telling cow (Mystic Moo), a climate change college and loads of places to sit down and relax.
Like Jim Carroll at Italia Wave I did not see ONE drunk person all day. There were people of all ages; parents, babies, teenagers, tweens, twenty-somethings and everyone was impeccably behaved. Lots of people were drinking - it was a gorgeous sunny day - but for some reason, nobody felt the need to run into the site as early as possible and get sloshed.
And it was lovely.
I have some photees on my camera which I'll upload later.

Just back from a cheesy bar in Soho and before that Yauatcha, an awesome japanese restaurant with the best lemonberry martinis ever. Im taking random pictures of my room because its impossible to sleep as iraqi people are partying on the streets because the team won a match. I guess its good to have something to celebrate. Have to hit the hay though because im flying home in a few hours.

You may have noticed the very cute pictures of Elmo, a 4-day old orangutan abandoned by his mother in this morning's papers. Myself and Izzy decided to take a picture of me interpreting Elmo, because I *heart* apes and monkeys.

Charlie Parr @ Crawdaddy, September 6th
If there is one gig you see this Autumn, fuck it, this year, make it this. Parr is a complete genius. I saw him last time at the Cobblestone in Smithfield and he was just the most AMAZING guitarist I've ever seen. At the time, he was on tour with Adrian Crowley and Adrian said to me that every gig they played, people would come up to them after the show and say stuff like "there's no point in me ever playing guitar again, because I could never be as good as you." Charlie is the nicest man you will ever meet too, which makes his talent even purer I suppose.
C-Rayz Walz memories
I was listening to some C-Rayz this morning and it brought me back to an interview I did with him a couple of years ago which I've dug out of the auld archives. It remains one of the funnier phoners I've ever done...
TAKING THE RAP What do you get when you combine the toughness of 50Cent, the wit of Eminem, the flow of Jay-Z and then showcase it all on hip-hop’s most innovative label, Def Juz? His name is C-Rayz Walz and he rapped his way through an interview with Úna Mullally, proving his skills as one of the finest emcees around.
UM: Hi this is Úna from the Event Guide, I’m calling from Dublin…
CW: Yo I’m doubling too.
UM: Um, are you ready to do the interview now?
CW: I’m so up/I’m so ready/Foot’s on my chest makes my breath so heavy.
UM: How are the shows going?
CW: I stay doin’ shows/I’m the type of cat that go and fill/If I’m on the grill with skill/Who you know that the show better?/My flow vendetta is health/I’ve got a show with atmosphere on February the 12th/I wish you was here coz I would definitely invite you/you’d come to the front row and I’d light you.
UM: So that’s good then?
CW: Sound good/I got a good ten/From the hood then/But I got skills that makes the wood bend.
UM: Have you done any of the overseas dates yet?
CW: I only went to Europe for just like a little bit/And I smashed it/I think it was with Fat Milk-fluid/My man Bo reppin’ that/I came through with the weapon locked under the hat/You know the flame that’s insane in the core of my brain?
UM: How do the audiences compare to those in the States?
CW: Well the States is a typical situation – it’s real rude/We don’t appreciate music here like we don’t appreciate food/That we waste and abuse doin’ things we use/But when I go over places, it’s like, so cool/Coz they show respect like no neglect.
UM: How did you get involved with Def Jux?
CW: With Def Jux I’m keeping my rap style healthy/Brother to that cat, El-P/I was on Cannibal Ox record, it was first for years/And El started in the same studio, the same place we were at/That’s where El started doin’ his tracks/When he had music without words, and I was spittin’ that fire/And I had most cats callin’ me solid/Said, I want you to spearhead the movement/I said, no doubt, why not?/Sign the dots/So here I am, spittin’ is slim/Doin’ the interview on the phone with my female friend from Dublin.
UM: You were meant to sign with Sony and Def Jam. What happened?
CW: Oh yeah man, but they blew up the towers/The World Trade Centre has been and gone/And the label wasn’t interested in even the dopest song/They say, ‘we can’t hire you because it’s scary/We’re goin’ through a fight with Mariah Carey’/I’m like, ‘What up Tommy Matola?’/So Def Jam died, and Sony was denied/So I had to go back to the street life/And I was so caught up like Mariah on that deal/My hustling did me wrong – I did 6 months fo’ real/And still, I aint drop nothin’. But then every other month, I dropped a single. I said I need Def Jux.
UM: How do you feel about your album, Ravipops, now that it has been out a while?
CW: I think Ravipops is the ultimate testament/The one where I was most able to experiment/It’s who I am from a hip-hop point of view/It’s crazy, in fact/I’m right here doing an interview and I’m on track.
(At this point, C-Rayz disappears to the sounds of what seems like a large-ish party in the background. Bear in mind that it’s 11am New York time. He returns and apologises, gives his reasons, and his rapping skills deteriorate slightly for the rest of the interview. )
UM: What would you be doing if you weren’t an MC?
CW: To be real, I’d be right downtown with a gat.
UM: Who do you look up to as emcees?
CW: The real artists, all the cats like Bizmark-E.
UM: What can the Irish fans expect from the show?
CW: The Irish fans expect and respect the show and I’m feelin’ that. We’ll kill it. It’ll be like the whole IRA army is there. I’m about to go thirty songs. I’ll be called marathon man. Reason. Hitting them with the rhyme right.

Hotpress and Streisand
Just got the new edition of Hotpress. Why on earth do they feel in neccessary to devote THREE PAGES to what they call "Fear and Loathing in Celbridge: the Barbra Streisand Fiasco" (cringe), and don't even bother to ever refer to any alleged crimes or incidents of violence etc at Oxegen? Who fits the Hotpress demographic more? Middle-aged rich folk trotting off to see memories, or 80,000 yoofs at Oxegen? Both gigs had the same promoter, so...
The mind, it boggles.
Although, any attempt to understand Hotpress as a credible entity should always be avoided, I suppose.

Go Nadine! The Kiosk celebrates its 40th episode
The Kiosk, the best arts and culture show on Irish radio, celebrates its 40th episode this Saturday. For the party, the awesome Nadine O'Regan (pictured here at Oxegen with Screamer McLikes-It) is going to be hosting Messiah J & The Expert who will perform live in studio. Savage! Check it out this Saturday on Phantom 105.2 at 11am. Or if you miss that, at 8am on Sunday.
GAZE: 2nd - 6th August
Gaze, the annual Dublin International Lesbian & Gay Film Festival kicks off next week, and there are some pretty good mooooovies, so get your ass down to the IFI to check them out.
I'm looking forward mostly to the Itty Bitty Titty Committee starring the legend that is Daniela Sea (Shortbus, The L Word), which is on Sunday 5th at 6.30pm, so plenty of time for deconstructing over scoops after the film - very good planning by the organisers.
If you're thinking of going to see Nina's Heavenly Delights, don't bother. I've already seen it and it's crap, EVEN THOUGH Shelley Conn is in it.
The festival opens next Thursday with A Four Letter Word, which I might go see as well because it looks pretty good.
'Married Man Seeks Same for Discreet Play', by David Amsden*
He has a loving wife, a small child—and sex with men on the side. How the Internet has made it easier than ever to lead a detection-proof double life.
The man sitting across from me would like to tell me his name, but doing so is against his rules. He could tell me a fake name, he says, though not the one he typically uses when meeting a man in the middle of the day, since he has been using the same fake name for so long that it is almost real. Revealing it now would open him up to the potential of recognition, and, frankly, just imagining a scenario like that makes him wonder why he agreed to meet in the first place. He knows how he comes across. So shifty and paranoid. But he is not apologetic. Because when you live two separate lives, as he does, and when you have been maintaining these two separate lives for twenty years, as he has, coming across as shifty and paranoid is something of an inevitability.

Rihanna has got her biz-nezz sense down. She has just finalised the marketing of her new line of umbrellas with Totes, brilliant .
And in other Umbrella news, here's the Delorentos singing their version of the track on Rick O'Shea's new YouTube channel.
Pray for Mojo / Britney Spears
From TMZ
"TMZ has learned that Britney's self-arranged photo shoot and interview with OK! Magazine was a complete disaster. We're told that the photos are so bad, execs at the magazine are, at this moment, trying to decide whether to report what actually happened -- or sanitize the truth to protect the pop train wreck.
According to multiple sources, Britney's behavior during the interview was "nothing less than a meltdown." She was, according to our sources, "completely out of it" during the shoot. The photos are "so bad" we've learned, that to publish them could "kill her career." Apparently, Brit Brit's eyes rolled back in her head at one point, causing her to look half dead. Her mood, we're told, was extremely erratic. She took frequent bathroom breaks our source says, and each time she returned her mood would change. She was also completely paranoid during the entire interview, fearing at one point the ceiling was about to cave in on her. Out of control y'all!
We've also learned that Brit had some issues with hygiene on the set as well. At one point, Britney ordered up some fried chicken to munch on. We're told after she chowed down, she wiped her hands on a several thousand dollar Gucci dress that she was wearing for the shoot, staining it with grease. Yuck! One of her dogs also needed some assistance in the housebreaking department. Our on-set spy says that the dog pooped all over the floor, and Brit used (what else?) -- a Chanel dress to clean it up! How trashtastic!As for how Brit looked for the photos, another nightmare. We've learned that OK! hired two of the best hair and makeup artists in L.A. to transform the once-bald beauty into something more presentable, but she wasn't havin' none of that. She refused to let the hired help touch her, opting instead for her "skanky friends" to do her hair and makeup. No wonder she always looks so fantastic!
And if you're wondering where her mom/publicist/lawyer/friend/ANYONE was to help her out, we're told that even her cousin Alli (who until recently was working as her personal assistant) couldn't deal, and is "done" with Miss Spears.
We'll see when OK! hits the stands this week -- if they actually have the balls to print the truth about what happened. We're guessing they don't!
A call to Brit's rep was not immediately returned. A rep for OK! would not discuss the upcoming issue."
