Fontaines D.C. ~ A Lucid Dream

Imagine being plucked from today into yesteryear, 1916 in Dublin, Ireland to be exact. During the Easter Rebellion, an armed insurrection against British rule was fought for six days, ending in the internment of 1,800 and the hanging execution of 16. This is the premise behind A Lucid Dream penned by the phenom Fontaines D.C.

Kosheen – Harder They Fall

Slick and addictive, Kosheen has a terrifying talent for creating hook-laden tuneage of which this song surely doesn’t disappoint. Per Wikipedia, “The name Kosheen derives from the name of a North American Apache warrior, Cochise. When in Japan, it was discovered that a combination of the Japanese words for ‘old’ and ‘new’ would make ‘Kosheen’ in Japanese.” Alternatively known for her trip-hop and “hypnotic … Continue reading Kosheen – Harder They Fall
