Right up my alley

For a one night stand maybe.

I believe you need AUTHENTICITY to be truly happy.

A bird with sideburns for instance.

The only independent act I know of that gets significant radio play beyond the ghettos of certain shows and Phantom FM is Republic Of Loose. They get drive-time, prime-time, whateveryoucallit, play, on a regular basis, moreso when they've got a charting song. They're the only example I can think of though.

Used to be the front man for The Blizzards, who I guess were sort of like the culchie Coronas, I haven't heard any of his solo material but I didn't like them at all.

He also played rugby for Leinster (think maybe juniors).

Typically to get mainstream play on Irish radio you have to be signed to a foreign label. Our music radio, our music industry is just a sad colonial adjunct to the Anglo-American industry. Also fuck facebook.

Was at my sister-in-laws around christmas last year and that Maroon 5 song came on the radio. The song was turned up and everyone (kids included) was bopping along. Whats this? says I. No answer. Who sings this song? I say again. They thought I was being all cool and stuff, pretending not to know the song.

I had a similar incident in work. Someone was organising music clips for our yearly conference, and I had the job of editing said selected tunes down to a 20 second clip.

I was given the move like jagger song to edit, and I remarked that I had never heard of it. I think I would have got a less filthy look if I had shat on the floor there and then.

I saw an article that described Maroon 5 as 'spiky haired punks'... needless to say I got sick on the spot

I wouldn't recognise most of those songs if I heard them.

Lucky me. (going by the couple I would recognise)

Yeah I was just thinking other than Adele I wouldn't know any of them

 

[hermie]

So do the Rubberbandits not get played on the radio, are they purely a youtube phenomenon?

 

[Goodbye]

So, seeing as I don't know any of those songs does that make me old? Cool? Uncool? out of touch? I don't even know the three Irish acts mentioned. I've seen posters for the script but had no idea they were "flying the flag for ireland"

 

[GO]

Shake Yer Shamrock

 

[therealjohnny]

Old and out of touch. Wish they'd never got rid of Top of The Pops

 

[magicbastarder]

do phantom have any shows showcasing new music, or music that would not make it on to their usual playlists?
for example - i've never heard spook of the 13th lock played on phantom, despite the single being an excellent choice for indie radio.

Depends what you're "in touch" with
