Oh I was so raging when I saw that Paul Simon was playing Cork midweek. I knew I couldn't get the time off, and hoped that he'd play Dublin. Alas it wasn't to be, but nonetheless he was said to have put on a great performance:

Live Review: Laura Marling at Whelan's, 1 July 2008
A day later than expected, I finally have gotten around to writing about the best Tuesday night I've had in ages.
We arrived at Whelan's at around a quarter to eight on Monday night, the doors to the venue weren't open and only a few dozen people were in the bar itself. I wondered what I was after dragging my lovely girlfriend to. Would it be another disaster of a show, like that time we saw Jens Lekman? So instead of standing around like chumps until the venue doors opened we went down to the shop. By the time we got back, around five past eight, a queue had formed outside the door. This was more like it!
We seated ourselves upstairs overlooking the stage (one of the benefits of Whelan's). The first support act (yes there were two!) introduced himself as Marcus from a band called Mumford & Sons, who sadly couldn't be there. They had probably over-exerted themselves at Glastonbury I'm thinking. But if the band are as good as or better than Marcus solo, they are definitely ones to look out for. He gave a wonderful performance, playing a variety of instruments and impressing every member of a packed Whelan's. There was only one negative point about his set, it was far too brief. 'Little Lying Man' was definitely a standout.
Next up was Dublin's own Robotnik. Sadly there was no sign of a blue hedgehog. Just like the way in Sonic that Dr Robotnik starts off small and gets bigger and badder until the final showdown, Robotnik started off slow with some folky numbers before introducing the rest of his band: Toshiba, his laptop. What came next was definitely not something a lot of the crowd expected. His techno-folk and bizarre lyrics ('I Found Jesus In The Year 2027' is a case in point), as well as his showmanship (getting up on tables and giving out sweets), were nothing if not entertaining. I'd recommend checking him out at Crawdaddy in two or three weeks. He's a nutjob.
While these two acts were playing, there was a group of English people, of which only half seemed interested. A tall blonde girl was chatting and giggling as both artists played. I pointed out that it was Laura Marling standing near me. The accent matched. She was talking to a guy at the bar when cheers came up from downstairs. I was wrong, it wasn't her. Mortified. I'm glad I didn't attempt to talk to her.
The waifish singer downstairs was just as good as her album Alas I Cannot Swim indicates. She played some of her better known songs at the beginning of the set, 'Ghosts', 'My Manic and I', and 'You're No God' were standout tunes, all coming one after the other. Marling live is a much more intimate experience than on the record, as it is a sparse cut-back approach. She was joined by Marcus Mumford on many of the tracks, and he seems to be able to play everything. His xylophone on 'Ghosts' was especially pretty.
Marling then played some new songs, a great sign of what's to come from this young singer, none of which seemed below the standard of what's gone before. One of these songs she even admitted to only having written the night before. That's confidence for you! One of these new tunes, 'Made A Maid', is one to look out for (I've included a live version of it down below).
'Cross Your Fingers' into 'Crawled Out of the Sea' was damn near perfect, and was followed by a rousing version of 'Alas I Cannot Swim'. Marcus and Laura left the stage to rapturous applause, but were forced to return for a one-song encore 'I'm A Fly'. It's a pity the show couldn't have gone on longer, but there's damn curfews in place. Even still, it was a truly marvellous show, and when she returns to town, I'll definitely go again.

Live Recommendations: 4-6 July 2008
Independence Day weekend is traditionally the day a huge box-office smash is released in the US. It's also the weekend that most people go to the cinema. Last year's film was Transformers, a Michael Bay spectacle which brought many of us back to a lost childhood. It also made the t-shirts cool again.
This year's July 4 film is Will Smith's new vehicle, Hancock, a movie about a waster superhero who comes good, or something like that. I'll probably end up going to see this this weekend, as not one band playing in town takes my fancy. They're probably all resting before the first ever three-day Oxegen festival anyway.
On that note, if you are an act playing some venue and want it to appear in the Gigs section, you can email details to swearimnotpaul@gmail.com and we'll do our best to highlight your gig.

Yes, they do have other songs from 'Iris'. 'Slide' is a great song. They even have more than one album. Although I must say I was tempted just to post a one-song setlist and say that's all they have. However I'm not that mean. I must admit I did listed to their hit record a few times back in the day, whenever I didn't have Matchbox Twenty on repeat.

Album News: Of Montreal - Skeletal Lamping
After last year's stellar Hissing Fauna, Are You the Destroyer?, Of Montreal add another record to their already vasy discography with the release of Skeletal Lamping on October 7th. Expect an Irish release date of October 3rd so.
The band's frontman, Kevin Barnes had a lot to say about the record: "It is possible to view this album as one long composition, with lots of different movements, or just as a collection of pop songs. I wanted to make an album that was unpredictable and, at times, startling, yet always hummable and catchy. some of the transitions are intentionally awkward. I did this to keep the listener off guard and to dismantle people's perception of how an album is supposed to be constructed."
Sounds weird, right? Also sounds like it's going to be brilliant. And as for that album title: "His record is my attempt to bring all of my puzzling, contradicting, disturbing, humorous...fantasies, ruminations and observations to the surface, so that I can better dissect and understand their reason for being in my head. Hence the title, Skeletal Lamping. Lamping is the name of a rather dreadful hunting technique where, hunters go into the forest at night, flood an area in light, then shoot, or capture, the animals as they panic and run from their hiding places. This album is my attempt at doing this to my proverbial skeletons. I haven't yet decided if I should shoot or just capture them though."
Live: Oxegen 2008 previews in today's broadsheets
As soon as you mention the words "Oxegen festival", someone will tell you to go and see such a band: "make sure you see the Ting Tings" or whatever. It's bound to happen. Unfortunately you can't see every artist. Nor would you want to see every artist. For the casual music fna, knowing who to see is often a challenge. You might waste your time listening to some run-of-the-mill rock, while the Next Big Thing are onstage in the Green Room.
Always around this time, the major publications release their own special previews. Expect Hot Press to have a special Oxegen 2008 issue just in time for next week. Today the madness starts with previews in the supplements of both the Irish Times and Irish Independent. But is either worth buying? Should you save you cash and wait for Swear I'm Not Paul's special coverage next week?
First off, the Irish Independent has advertised its preview everywhere. It even came in the Oxegen Official Newsletter! Must be some backhanders going on there. The special ooh-ahh-wonderful section on Oxegen isn't all that special, and I wouldn't recommend investing in the Indo just for that reason. There is an interview with Craig Finn from The Hold Steady (which you can read freely online), as well as a nice site map for the venue, as well as the critics' suggested acts to see. As usual, the misguided-Ed Power has chosen someone as awful as his music writing: the Sugababes! Power is the same guy who did a live review for Neil Young at Malahide during the week, but spent more time discussing Neil Young's choice of outfit and where the name Chrome Dreams II came from rather than talk about the music. You can find some of the Independent's coverage freely available here, as well as that Craig Finn interview:
http://www.independent.ie/entertainment/day-and-night/
The Irish Times, on the other hand, has a great write-up on the festival. Instead of the pretty pictures and cute layouts the Independent went with, they have a full preview from their rock critic, Jim Carroll (a fine writer - I'm usually able to pick which reviews he writes in a particular name just because of the artist involved, he's got a cool image to protect after all, but amazingly he only gave Wolf Parade's At Mount Zoomer a paltry two!). Carroll talks about all of the bands and gives his opinions on whether they're worth seeing. It's definitely worth checking out, and you can read it all for free here:
http://www.irishtimes.com/newspaper/theticket/2008/0704/1215054782218.html
Oh and I hope to get a copy of that nice little map and put it up here. But being lost at Oxegen is fun too!

Setlist: Boyzone, RDS Arena, 28 June 2008
The most requested Setlist so far, no, not Clapton or Young or even Saving J, but Boyzone at the RDS. Their fans have an insatiable appetite. My other half kind of regrets not going now, as she was a big fan back in her formative years. Every girl I've spoken to who was present swears it was the best concert they ever saw. They could've been right. I bet if I was there I would've known a lot of the words. 'Words'. See what I did there? Yeah, I just lost ten cool points, but Ronan is a great shinger, don't fight it!
Setlist:
Picture of You
One Kiss at a Time
Isn't it a wonder
All That I Need

Album News: Oxford Collapse - Bits
Not news as such, just the cover of the new Oxford Collapse record, Bits, which is due August 5th, probably the 1st here. So just a month to go for us Irishers!
I really like this album art. And I am one to judge a book by its cover.
Album News: Lambchop - OH (Ohio)
That's OH as in Ohio, not Oh as in the groan the couple on the album cover could be making. I risk not posting the cover for fear of wrath from those who browse while at their desks, but if you want to see it, here it is: http://img364.imageshack.us/img364/8919/lambchopohohioalbumartvq2.jpg (Be warned, there's drawings of nudie parts!)
No release date has been confirmed yet. Browsing around the internet for information is a tough experience, as the band may possibly have the worst internet presence I have ever seen. Ah their live shows speak for themselves, who needs websites and forums?
One of the tracks is titled 'National Talk Like a Pirate Day', which I must say sounds absolutely genius! Other tentative titles are 'Popeye' and 'Slipped Dissolved And Loosed'. And there will be eight other songs on it. Kurt Wagner you are a strange but talented man.

Album News: Oasis - Dig Out Your Soul
Anyone who has bought a copy of this month's Mojo Magazine (that includes yours truly), will have seen the lovely write-up on the Gallagher brothers' latest release. In this modern age when people don't even bother paying for stuff - did you know that the Irish Times is now free to read online? - why would anyone buy music magazines? Something to read on a commute maybe? That's probably the only reason, because any news in them has been on the internet for weeks before publication. Well, there is another reason - to read exclusive interviews with the artists.
But what if someone (say Tom from stoptheclocks.org) scanned in the particular interview? Yeah, you would probably just read that online too. So as I'm all for free speech...

Here's the setlist to keep you occupied til then. Also, email me at swearimnotpaul@gmail.com with any corrections you have, cause I have no idea what these new songs are called. Laura, if you fancy dropping me a line to do some shameless publicity, feel free. I'd love to do an interview or something!

Setlist: Marcus Mumford (from Mumford and Sons), Whelan's, 1 July 2008
Mumford and Sons release their new EP, Lend Me Your Eyes next Monday in the UK. If I can get this in any shop in Ireland I will be a happy man. I had never heard of Mumford & Sons, nor of Marcus Mumford himself, but after seeing him support Laura Marling (minus the "Sons"), as well as perform one-man backing band duties for the singer herself, I have to say I'm a huge fan.
Bear in mind I'm not sure if these are the proper titles. I noted them on my phone.

My Heart Has Gone Away
White Blank Page
Little Lying Man
Darkness

Album News: The Streets - Everything Is Borrowed
Yes, Mike Skinner still makes music. While everyone was fawning over Lily Allen (me included), Skinner was on the slippery slope to has-been land. His first two albums, Original Pirate Material and A Grand Don't Come For Free, were excellent takes on urban life in modern Britain. His third, The Hardest Way To Make An Easy Living was, well, did anyone actually buy it and listen to it? 'Never Went to Church' was its most succesful single, charting at number 8 in the UK, and 26 in Ireland. The album itself fared much better at 1 and 3 respectively, but sales do not equal greatness, and it was a huge disappointment.
Everything is Borrowed is, essentially, his comeback album. Skinner himself said in a recent blogpost that he hated the last album, and this new one is his "peaceful coming to terms" record. It's expected to be much lighter than Hardest Way, and hopefully we'll be all the better because of it.
His first two records are modern classics, so hopefully he can return to form when Everything is Borrowed is released in August.
Album News: Zach De La Rocha - One Day As A Lion EP
Apart from headlining this year's Oxegen festival with his old band, Rage Against the Machine, Zach De la Rocha has teamed up with drummer Jon Theodore to form side-project One Day As A Lion. They release their debut EP, a self-titled cut, on July 22nd.
On their website, they declare that ODAAL is: "A defiant affirmation of the possibilities that exist in the space between kick and snare. It's a sonic reflection of the visceral tension between a picturesque fabricated cultural landscape, and the brutal socioeconomic realities it attempts to mask. One Day As A Lion is a recorded interaction between Zack de la Rocha and Jon Theodore from Los Angeles, California."
"The name taken from the infamous 1970 black and white, captured by legendary Chicano photographer George Rodriguez featuring a center framed tag on a white wall in an unspecified section of Boyle Heights. It reads: 'It's better to live one day as a lion, than a thousand years as a lamb.' This record is a stripped down attempt to realize this sentiment in sound."

Live Review: Neil Young and The Frames, Malahide Castle
What a beautiful evening it was on Sunday for an outdoor concert. No doubt Oxegen will be waterlogged as usual, but Neil Young could not have asked for a better Irish summer's evening than we had at Malahide Castle. This was the first time I had ever been at the castle, and I must say getting in and out of the venue was a joy. There were special Dart trains put on for the concert, and although ours was packed (with happy Dublin fans after the match as well as concertgoers), not one person fainted! The trek home wasn't as smooth, as the train left about fifteen minutes late, but the adrenaline distracted me from looking at my watch.
So, onto the show itself. I only caught the end of the first act, Everest, who did impress me from what little I heard. Their version of the Bob Dylan/Byrds classic 'You Ain't Goin' Nowhere' (which Glen Hansard has covered on occassion) made me wish I had gotten there earlier to see them in full stride. We sat down on the grass and ate ice-creams while we waited for The Frames to come on stage. Not too often you can say that at a gig, is it?
The Frames were wonderful. I didn't expect them to be as on-form as they were. Marketa Irglova makes a great addition to the band, and her harmonies are beautiful. Colm Mac Con Iomaire was his usual splendid self and is surely the most underrated musician on this island. They opened with 'Redchord' and played a host of crowd-pleasing tunes. Glen Hansard only told a handful of anecdotes, none of which were particularly new. One, however, was quite bizarre. He invited us to sing along with the chorus on 'Happiness', but then told people who weren't feeling it (or something along those lines), not to sing at all. A very strange man indeed.
In fact, 'Happiness' was the low point of the set. It followed 'Santa Maria' which is a cracking tune which builds and builds up to fantastic proportions. However I felt many of the people in attendance weren't as into the song as they should be, probably because they were there for Neil, and maybe hadn't heard it on the radio. The radio tunes were excellent, and Glen has really grown in confidence as the years have passed.
But nothing could have prepared the crowd for the man himself. As soon as a glimpse of his paint-stained white shirt and pants were seen, a huge roar went up in north Dublin. The one and only Neil Young. Kids, cherish this day. He opened with a very long version of ' Love and Only Love' which I felt was a bit of a disappointment. He didn't seem on form, and his solo was a little jarring. 'I've Been Waiting for You' was a vast improvement, but I still wondered would this be a set of songs that only half the crowd knew. However, any fears I had that this would be one of the biggest disappointments of the year totally disappeared when he tore into 'Mr Soul'.
'Spirit Road' and 'Powderfinger' were wonderful. And it was only during 'Powderfinger' that I noticed each song was accompanied by a lovely little painting at the right-hand side of the stage. A neat effect, and also a way to make every fan there seem like they knew every song. The guy beside me bellowed out "I bet this is Too Far Gone", which impressed the rest of his posse. I was in on the act though. He couldn't fool me. He wasn't even singing along. 'My My Hey Hey' was truly a highpoint, and the only song that was on the recent 2FM advertisments that he actually played live! The crowd belted out the chorus, perhaps even loud enough to drown out Neil himself.
'Oh Lonesome Me' was also excellent, and the band had some downtime and a little sitdown during the so-so 'Mother Earth'. They got back into the swing of things with 'The Needle and the Damage Done'. Oh what a song! The next trio of tunes were similarly brilliant, 'Unknown Legend', 'Old Man' (oh yeah!), and 'Get Back to the Country'. 'Words' was much better than the performance Boyzone gave of the same song the previous night.
'No Hidden Path' went on very, very long. About half an hour I think. I actually noticed some people leaving at this point, probably to beat the traffic and catch the bus back into town. The encore was the same as the last few shows this tour, and after studying setlists before the show, I wasn't one of the many claiming disappointment with a one-song-encore. Young's take on 'A Day In the Life' is definitely up there with the original, and caused another superb singalong, sending the crowd home on a high.
A night we'll all remember. And a night to tell the grandkids about. Although guessing by the ages of some of the audience present, some grandkids have already been told.

Watch: Glastonbury highlights and live sets
While not an Irish festival by any means, there was a large irish contingent not at neil Young yesterday, and instead were getting a tan at a surprisingly sunny Glastonbvury festival. The BBC covered most of the event over the weekend, and if you decided to stay in you may have seen some of these already. But for those of you who didn't, you can check out clips from everyone from Jay-Z to Foals, Duffy to Kings of Leon, Amy Winehouse to the Fratellis. So lots and lots to watch on the BBC's Glastonbury page:
