Don’t worry. Real blogging is back soon where I’ll be using the C word (Cork), the N word (National Broadband Scheme), the F word (Food), the R word (Regulator) and other fun words like dollop. Isn’t dollop a really interesting sounding word? Say it slow. Say it fast.
Shearwater. Another “not the official vid” fan-generated thing. Amazing song. Get the album which is called Rook.
Passion Pit - Sleepy head.
Loving my Christmas present:
Head over to Indiecater and get some great Christmas inspired music from some great musical talent. Two tracks I really really liked from that compilation are: Track 12 - Nonstop Everything -There Is No Santa, Little Boy and track 15 Loxsly – Santa Got The Spins. 17 tracks for a recession busting €6.50. You can listen to them before you buy too.
Then via You Ain’t listen to Sufjan Stevens’ latest Christmas album called “Astral Inter Planet Space Captain Christmas Infinity Voyage, Volume VIII.”

This is Ellie and her body of work.
Yeah Yeah Yeahs get their fans to lipsynch to their latest song and record themselves on video doing so. Fans do. Yeah Yeah Yeahs make a video based in part on these user-generated/fan-generated bits.
All is well. Money being made from super-fans.
Fans then upload their full versions of the videos Yeah Yeah Yeahs took snapshots of. Yeah Yeah Yeahs get fan vids shut down. How stupid are these people? Burning the people who are helping to produce the video and to spread the word to their networks. Nutso!
