Choice Music Prize - Irish Album of the Year 2009 (1 Viewer)

[washingcattle]

it's pretty great to be honest.

haven't listened to it in years actually.
must dig it out

Yeah everytime I've listened to it I've really liked it but that's still probably less that 20 times. Weird that.

no doubt Jape's win last year was a timely bonus for Richie in terms of exposure and cash, not to mention giving his family a great buzz

And for salsa too.

i've not been this disappointed since the last time some random people, who wanted to give a made up award to musicians that they chose based on their own criteria, didn't pick the same bands that I would pick.

 

[Gambra]

Does anyone really believe that every judge listened to all "180 albums" that were released in Ireland last year? I'm hardly expecting Altar Of Plagues, Frustration, Famine or Legion Of Two (who would deserve it) to appear on the list though..

Don't know who wrote it but it's terrible spoofing, Bill.
Passes off THe Killers being better than TV on the Radio as a fact (I'm not a fan of either), or indeed any of the other X is better than Y nonsense. Never reading a link from Froog again.

Wicklow St?

Froog is a loose canon John

Like some kind of ecclesiastical Dirty Harry? Or Cheech in the Machete trailer.

ah, thing look different from far away. They hate Arcade Fire in Canada. It would have been like the Corrs winning it here.

 

[east hastings]

27 euro for tickets to the gig in Vicar st, what a fantastic award ceremony.

Brian Boyd is a terrible hack. What a stupid fucking column.

I didn't see his byline on the web version of that but Brian Boyd wrote that.

Which number comment did that come from? I'm not reading all the comments.

Anyway I reckon they'd be relevant on Letterkenny Main Street too.

This one's my favourite, the bold highlighting is by me.

Dear David Kitt and other omittees,

Please spend less time writing arse on blogs and Thumped.com and more time writing songs that the media will, “highlight as deserving of some extra time in the spotlight and, ultimately, to select the album which best sums up the year in Irish music”.

Simple as.
