Ireland lost one of its greatest actors of television and theatre. Mick Lally, was probably best known for his role as Miley in Glenroe. His catchphrase ‘Well Holy God’ is still uttered by many round these parts. When living in Rathmines, I’d often see Mick cycling his bike. I’d never think there’s Mick Lally, it [...]

Taking their name from the old ballroom where they practised, Pavesi are a four piece from Donegal. They’ve just released a three track EP. The EP opens with ‘East Side’ a melodic mid tempo track. There’s nothing wrong with the track, it all just seems a tad safe and a bit formulaic. The chorus has [...]

So Jane Lynch won Best Actress in a Comedy Role for her fantastic portrayal of Sue Sylvester in Glee. The Emmys have always seemed as a more fun night than the Oscars, win or lose everyone seems to be out for a good time. Bow down and worship.. Fantastically honest speech! [...]

Or it could be ladies either. This is something that has been bugging me slightly for a while. Why oh why do bands play on so late in certain venues. Last buses in Dublin are at 2330, though some leave the city centre slightly earlier. At the weekend, you’ve got the infamous nightlink (bus) if you fancy [...]

DCUfm will be starting up again soon and I’m currently going over our music policy. I would love your opinions on what artists you feel are cutting edge and fit a student radio station. The artists don’t have to be world famous or even signed for that matter. All we want is good music. I’d be [...]

I saw these guys last night in The Academy with Jason Derülo. You can read my review on Goldenplec. I thought they were amazing, fantastic energy on stage, great sound, know how to work the crowd. I spoke to Alex after the show and they seem like really nice guys.  Love ‘em! Their album is [...]

Feeder rocked the Academy to its foundations on Thursday night with a mixed set of new and old material. Starting off the night were upstarts Storyfold, who within a short space of time, have become serious contenders on the Irish music scene. The band treated the waiting crowd to a rousing set, which included the [...]

 It’s with a sad and heavy heart that I learned tonight from the NME website of the death of Charlie Haddon, lead singer with Ou Est Le Swimming Pool. The band had played at Pukkelpop festival in Belgium before reports of Charlie’s death. One of my favourite new acts from the past year, I saw [...]

These little QR codes have become a slight fascination of mine since I was first introduced to them by Hitman Lord and especially lately, I was thinking of putting one on new business cards. So one sleepless night I decided (tonight) I decided I’d make a QR code for nessymon.com I went to Scanlife and [...]

Yip, we did it. we’ve dumped our TV. We’ve got rid of our cable and have finally decided we’re going to do something productive with our time rather than watching re-runs of Frasier and Friends. How could you do that I hear you say? Well our little TV has been a friend for many years [...]
