Beirut The Riptide

Apr 24, 2020 — Leave a comment

Discovered The Riptide by Beirut back in 2011, heard it in a veggie restaurant in Galway when I stopped in for dinner. I never heard anything like it and asked the waitress who it was. A very special band. One of those albums that needs to be listened to in its entirety I think. I picked this vinyl version up last October in Kilkenny rollercoaster records and I’m only getting around to listening to it today. If you like brass, check it out. Happy Friday people. Stay safe. 🎧

How many songs are about Jesus?

Thanks Be To Jesus (a Spotify Playlist)

The first thought I had when I woke up at 5:30 last Sunday, so I decided to start a new Spotify Playlist, as you do. I did a quick post on Instagram last Sunday but now it’s time to get serious.

Off the top of my head… I thought Wilco, Morrissey, Depeche Mode, Nirvana.. then Spotify started adding shit to the playlist, bad Spotify, how very dare you. This needed swift and immediate action!
