It’s been a little while since LCD Soundsystem released this cover of Franz Ferdinand’s “Live Alone” as part of a Record Store Day vinyl compilation, the band, who has since split, recently dropped the song’s accompanying video. Watch the Lustix-directed video down below.
Everybody is talking about Slow Moving Millie, but somehow the name doesn’t sound that familiar does it? That’s because people are talking about her without even knowing. Social networking sites have been inundated with comments and links about the John Lewis Christmas ad and the song that has everyone swooning.
It’s been a funny old twelve months with as much great music as terrible news but we here at bandcrunch aren’t one to dwell and with the bell ringing out signaling the end to yet another year, instead of looking to the past we’re looking to the future and wondering what’s in store? Short answer is a lot of good music and the long answer is a list of the top 10 Irish acts to look out for in 2012.
We all love a bit of nostalgia and no better era than the early ’90s. There was simply an abundance of influential music released in 1991. Interesting however to see Nirvana’s ‘Nevermind’ finish behind R.E.M.’s Out of Time and U2′s Achtung Baby. Also amazing to see some classics not included: Primal Scream’s Screamadelica, Cypress Hill’s self-titled debut and Mercury Rev’s Yerself Is Steam.

Last week, Vevo released some footage of Amy Winehouse performing at Ireland’s Other Voices festival in 2006. Her breakthrough album, ‘Back to Black,’ had only been out for a couple of months and just a handful of lucky fans attended the intimate performance.

Hailing from New Jersey but based in Brooklyn, NY, Real Estate are currently enjoying rave reviews of their second album Days, released on 17th and 18th October in the UK and US respectively. Formed in 2008 in Ridgewood, New Jersey the singer-songwriters have been attracting massive interest on the indie-rock scene since the release of their self-titled debut LP in 2009.
So Rolling Stone, the ‘iconic’ music magazine, has just unveiled its year-end top-50 albums list. There’s a lot to pick through here. The magazine named Adele’s 21 as its #1 album of the year…. a pretty good album, we can’t complain there.
The rest of the list, however…. well let us know what you think!
Since the early 1980′s when music video’s became mainstream and with the launch of the channel MTV entering most homes, artists and producers saw this as as an avenue to further the popularity of a song and push more boundaries. With Michael Jackson’s ‘Thriller’ video released in 1983 this set entire new standards for the industry. Pretty much since then we have seen music video’s that have furthered the success of a song or artist and the use of shock value has aided this enormously.
The first track on an album has to capture the listeners attention, to lure them in and entice the purchaser to continue with the album, you gotta have something that is either energetic or sweepingly entwining as well as lyrically and musically well composed.
For me these have to be my top opening tracks…

Who Knew is an indie band from Iceland that has had some recognition around the world with both Rolling Stone magazine and The Guardian in their fan club. They were formed in the year 2005 in a garage attached to their sound-man’s parent’s house.
It’s good to diversify especially if you’re a multi-millionaire movie star right? Our pampered friends in Hollywood understand this more than most. To quote Fight Club, they’re the all singing, all dancing shit of the world. But to put it mildly there are some ventures that even the celebrities themselves would definitely like to forget. Here are our top 10 actors turned singers for whom it hasn’t exactly worked out.

For those with a sweet tooth for folk and blues, Jodie Marie is a dessert mix of all your favourite artists. Not just a voice like so many singers out there right now (although what a voice) Jodie Marie is also clearly a huge music fan with a huge cache of blues records and musical knowledge to draw upon.
The best thing to hit Irish hip hop since… well… I’m sorry, I’ve wracked my brains and I’m still drawing a blank. So due to a dearth of homegrown hip hop, moot point it may be, but Lecs is still pretty awesome. And if youtube hits (96,000 and that’s just for one song) translate into sales there won’t be much stopping the super villain pseudonymed hip hop upstart.
