Thank you Dan Deacon....

.... for redeeming a poxy weekend. Without wallowing too much lets just say this

watching Munster getting beaten at home by Leinster was poxy enough

watching Munster getting beaten at home by Leinster in the lashing pissing monsoon that was Musgrave Park on Friday night was beyond poxy

coming back from Cork to discover that some CUNT(S) had robbed my bike just about pushed me over the edge (it had been one of those weeks anyway!)

So thank you Dan Deacon for providing me with one of the most enjoyable gigs I've ever had the good luck to attend, what a laugh lads!




I swear to god you can take your po-faced uber earnest indie kids and stick em where the sun don't shine cause I can't remember the last time I was at a gig where the performer was obviously enjoying himself so much.

It was weird because this was the first time I'd gone to the gig purely on the basis of recommendations (god bless the blogosphere!) I literally hadn't heard even one song of his but it was so worth it - when he started setting his desk up on the floor I was wondering how much of a gimmick this was but it worked so well - the entire crowd just gravitated towards this most unlikely looking of djs and his illuminated skull.

The craic was only savage, myself and boggsy were both behaving ourselves with work in the morning but you just couldn't help but get caught up in the music. The melodies were so simple but so addictive - so many highlights - the dance off in the middle of the floor, the entire crowd getting down on their haunches humming along with him, seeing the entire room "having a stretch" before we got going but the undeniable highlight was when the hymn sheets were handed out for Wham City and the whole room kicked off singing - absolutely sublime. We left the room smiling from ear to ear like total kids!

Thanks Dan - you're a total ligind!!


Fair play to Whelans and Foggy Notions - keep gigs like this coming lads
