Dancing on my grave ( 'till June )
I'm impressed with this Dublin singer at the moment http://www.myspace.com/davidturpin
The tracks that are up on myspace aren't that great but I've heard him live and he has some good melo/electro tinged numbers. I saw him a year ago at Whelans. "Independent Records" were showcasing some new acts, I don't think they picked him up at the end or Pony Club for that matter who I was there to see. As always Mark(Pony Club) was brilliant, I didn't have the guts to go over and talk to him despite my friends persuading. Anyway David came on wearing a black top and slacks looking every inch the Parisian coffee house officiant, he had a female singer with him and two/three other band members. After he finished his first song we clapped as you do and hand on hip poe-faced he said "why are you clapping?". Probably like everyone else I thought 'this guys' a prick' nevertheless he drew me in and produced some great moments. Also he's about 4 times removed from some old acquaintances of mine so I know of him.
He's also featured in Sineads Gleesons "musical rooms"-

Which is a great idea reminds me of the Guardians Writers Rooms-

Incidentally I've composed a letter to Colm but I haven't sent it yet, have to get a proper envelope, if I got a reply I'd die.
Still have to post my Roundhouse review but I don't see me getting around to doing that any time soon. I had a terrifying exam this morning. If this course could take human form I'd be lying on the ground my neck under the steel capped heal of its boot. Roll on June and Belgium. Q&A tomorrow night and maybe David on Sunday. I've been drinking lots lately, was out in 21 with course mates and there was lots of drama to keep me amused, still I'm too old for a place that's frequented by "tanorexic bleach blond tottering nymphs". I am none of the aforementioned :) There are two jobs coming up that I'm interested in, I am ignoring my inabilities and short comings in the area of computers and trying to remember that for my purposes this course is above and beyond what I would need to land either of these positions. Finish assignment then home for beer and a nap. The perfect end to an exhausting day.
