Excellant japanese restaurant, brilliant food and wine, selection of exotic lagers, busy atmosphere, not too pricey, great night out

Specializing in pizzas and pastas, had some tasty bolognaise, competitive costs, selections of coffee's etc, wheatfree pasta available. Could do with more alternatives on menu. Great place to drop into at anytime. Delivery service too

Anseo pub, camden street dublin 2

rating: 5
An absolute example of cool, throwback to a less pretentious time. Ripped seats, kip of a toilet, bad lighting, no specialised smoking area. Turntable beside bar, DJ plays tunes you never heard of. Great mix of clientele, all the beers you like. I love...

Bought 2 of Egyptian cotton sheets. Three figures each, but the comfort is worth it. As is the groovy design. Show the latest flame you've got taste, splash out!

Reiss clothes shop, stephen's green, dublin

Not a large selection of gent's clothes, but what they do, they do well. Stylish cut to all shirts, a good place to buy those 'intellectual' trousers. Credit card necessary however...

Beastie Boys- The Mix-Up

2007-11-21T18:04:18Z

rating: 4
New Beastie's album is a subtle diamond, totally instrumental, no lyrics or rapping. It sees the lads jamming up some old skool funky sounds. Reminiscint of 70's tv soundtracks, this is what they do best. Great for the road

Black Francis-Bluefinger

2007-11-21T18:13:11Z

rating: 3
Back recording under his old Pixies, this album is in a similiar vain to his old band. Great for Pixies fans, but some had grown to love the 3 country albums that preceded this. Contains plenty of expected mad Frank moments but one wonders whether...

Easy Star All-Stars, Radiodread

2007-11-21T18:24:58Z

rating: 2
Yep, it is what you think- a Reggae band covering those talented Oxford boys. And in places it actually works. All the covers are from the celebrated 'Ok Computer', which given the quality of the song writing, is No Suprises :-). Gets tiresome after a...

Ian Brown- The World is Yours

2007-11-21T18:31:42Z

rating: 1
A major disappointment for Brown fans, i dunno what new listeners will think. Hip-hop beats and violin strings on every track, this has the sound of a working band running out of ideas. Even the old Roses' lyrics let him down, with inspiration lacking....

Joy Division-Permanent

2007-11-21T18:39:24Z

rating: 4
Purchased after viewing 'Control' the excellent Ian Curtis biopic, this complimention has all the Joy Division vital tracks. A great introduction to a band who's music stays with you long after the songs have ended....should be on the school curriculum

Pj Harvey-White Chalk

rating: 4
An interesting direction change for miss polly jean, this album is almost exclusively piano-led. The absence of any bass is, at first, strange to the ear, but she compensates with her beautiful singing. A true gem of an album, from an extraordinary talent

Britney Spears- Blackout

2007-11-27T19:41:52Z

rating: 2
Britney in the last chance saloon falls between two stools. Trying to both poptastic and yet confessional, a brave attempt that doesn't quite convince. Plenty to bop about to, though. From guest reviewer Melissa Lynch

New mini-album from our favourite hero. Svn Fngrs, seven songs, seven moments of brilliance. The true return of PixieFrank that the last album promised to be. Highlights are the opening "The Seus", which sounds like a...
