PEARSE MCGOUGHLIN AND JAMES MCMORROW TALK TO RTÉ 2XM
Tune into RTÉ 2XM at 7pm tonight, Tuesday 23 March, as Robotnik's Random Rampage discusses the human behaviour of "Laughing", touching upon the fact that it's extremely good for you emotionally and physically. Isn't it strange how no one really laughs outloud when they're alone? Try it! While things get seriously hysterical in the RTÉ studios, Chris Morrin somehow manages to play some tunes in between the giggles from the likes of Max Mars, Lou Reed, Louis Armstrong and much much more. Repeated on Friday at 6pm.
Following at 8pm it’s time for Needs More Cowbell with Cian and Phil McCarthy where they'll be talking to Irish Musician Pearse McGloughlin about his debut album Busy Whisper. He'll also be playing some live songs, talking about his touring plans and a World Cup song he's written for South Korea as well as revealing his Guilty Pleasure Song. To find out more about Pearse go to www.myspace.com/walkperson
On top of this, Cian and Phil will have new music from Sigur Ros's Jónsi and classics from Joe Strummer & the Mescaleros and The National. Repeated on Sunday at 3pm.
At 10pm Rachel Jordan presents D.I.Y. Records with this week’s Independent Label Spotlight on Memphis Industries, featuring music from Field Music, Papercuts and Theoretical Girl. The show will also include lots of great tracks from the likes of Sunnybrook, Jogger, The Very Best and Yo La Tengo, plus loads more. Repeated on Friday at 3pm.
On Sabotage this Thursday at 3pm Steven Battle celebrates new albums from Dan Le Sac vs Scroobius Pip, Bonobo, Emancipator and Frightened Rabbit. Grizzly Bear are back on these shores in June for their only Irish show of 2010 so expect a song of utter distinction from their 2009 benchmark album, Veckatimest! Tune in on Thursday from 3pm and catch the repeat on Monday from 8pm.
Make sure to tune in on Thursday at 7pm as the Wired For Sound crew talk to singer songwriter James McMorrow. Repeated on Saturday at 6pm.
