  • Tony's Surf Report

    29/07/2010 13:44:15

      

    For the past two weeks we have given you weekly summer surf reports where we give you a quick surf forecast every Thursday until the end of the summer to let you know where the best waves should be every weekend – seeing as surfing seems to be the most popular summer sport in Ireland!…so here’s what the weekend has in store…

     

    • The surf will be pretty flat on the Friday of the Bank Holiday around the country.
    • However on Saturday and Sunday, 5 foot waves will hit the shores of Kilkee and Lahinch with a light onshore wind….along with other spots on the South and South West coast. Tullan Strand in Donegal wont get waves as high but the swell should throw up the odd 4 foot wave.

     

    And that’s your surf forecast for this weekend…

  • New Brandon Flowers Video

    14/07/2010 11:46:09

    The Killers may be on a break, but lead singer Brandon Flowers is set to release his debut solo album this September. It's called Flamingo (released 3rd Sept). The debut single is the lovely Crossfire (released 20th August) and the even lovlier Charlize Theron features in the video! Now, it does come across as a showreel to highlight Ms Theron's kung fu and action abilities, but it is well slick nonetheless.

    Tuesday 16th March - Gorillaz - 'On Melancholy Hill'.     From their new album Plastic Beach, this track is more low key than the singles, but shows that Damon Albarn can still really sing.

     

     

     

    Thursday 18th March - Led Zeppelin - 'Rock and Roll'. This song needs little introduction and is safe to say it's been a classic for nearly 40 years and will continue to be for at least another 40! It was written by all 4 members of Led Zeppelin in just 15 minutes!

     

     

    Friday 19th March - Sinead O'Connor - 'No Man's Woman'. Requested by listener Ciara Bedford in Co Waterford as she was having 'one of those weeks', this song is definitely an anthem for the recently split up women. From Sinead's 2000 album Faith and Courage.

    Cream – Sunshine of Your Love
    cream sunshine of your loveOur daily download today is from a 1960s rock band whose members are still some of music's greatest musicians. Before there was Led Zeppelin and The Jeff Beck Band, there was Cream. Eric Clapton, Jack Bruce and Ginger Baker led the way for so many bands to come during the days of psychedelic rock right through to heavy metal. Dave Wright has recommended a Cream classic.

    Dave says, “There are some songs that never age and that I never get tired of hearing. Cream’s Sunshine of Your Love is one of them. It’s got one of the best riffs in rock ever and should be on your download list.” From 1967, Sunshine of Your Love features a great guitar solo by Clapton and remains Atlantic Records’ best selling single to date.

    Jamie Cullum & Clint Eastwood – Gran Torino
    clint eastwood and jamie cullum gran torinoMany great songs have come from the movies – either as original songs written for particular stories, or songs made famous by featuring in the movies. Two years ago, Clint Eastwood appeared in a movie he said would be his last starring role. He also directed the film and co-wrote today’s daily download.

    A girl named Skye emailed us and said, “I would love if you could play, as your daily download, Clint Eastwood’s Gran Torino with Jamie Cullum. It’s the best movie soundtrack I have heard in a long time. The words are so lovely and make me go all dreamy and sad at the same time.” The theme song to the movie, Gran Torino was written by Clint, his son Kyle and Jamie Cullum.

    Jeff Beck with Imelda May – Lilac Wine
    jeff beck and imelda mayOften considered one of the best guitarists who has ever lived – Englishman Jeff Beck has had a career that spans decades, and he’s still on the go today. He was one of three notable guitarists – including Jimmy Page and Eric Clapton – who played with the Yardbirds, and was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame last year. He’s now hooked up with one of Ireland’s finest voices.

    You may remember last month Jeff Beck performed at The Grammy Awards with our very own Imelda May. The Dublin lass is definitely going international! They have since recorded together and the first single to be taken from Jeff Beck’s new album is a cover of Jeff Buckley’s Lilac Wine with Imelda on vocals.
