A recommendation from Sinéad:



Kitty the Lion began life as the singer-songwriter Anna Meldrum, reared at the seaside on a diet of folk and pop. In this cub stage, Anna toured the open mics and small venues of Glasgow with her acoustic guitar, and sensible shoes because Glasgow is a wet city and cats hate water.

In the next few months and years, Anna was lucky enough to play lots of exciting gigs, including an appearance at Hydro Connect Festival, and a string of support slots with Duke Special. All this gigging led to her to meet many like-minded musicians, so in 2009 the cub grew up into a fully fledged LION, when Joe Rattray on upright bass and Nick Roan on drums were added to the line up. With the addition of these two, and the later recruitment of Sorren Maclean on guitar and Callum Wiseman on mandolin, Kitty the Lion’s sound was upgraded from a meagre mewling to an upbeat, folk-tinged roar.

Check out Fowl Mouth on their Myspace. I'm in love with it, or buy Kitty the Lion on iTunes.

I'm not a Justin Bieber fan, but I know I couldn't do this:



But he's still not as fast as this:

Bronaghs suggestion:



Meet 19 year old, Yorkshire born, living in Suffolk, Ed Sheeran. He released his first EP of 5 songs in 2005 (The Orange Room EP), his first album with 13 songs in 2006 (Ed Sheeran), and his second album with 12 songs in 2007 (Want Some?).

This would've taken FOREVER to film!

Sinéad would like to hear some:



Plane Jane Automobile, formed in 2005, the Orlando based four piece have accumulated a loyal and strong fan base who have diligently supported the band every step of the way. As they continue selling out shows across the country, their debut album, The Collector, has been downloaded thousands of times. Their hit songs “Stones” and “Close My Eyes” were even licensed to Nokia and placed in over a million cellphones worldwide as the standard ringtone. With the music industry comparing PJA to the likes of U2 and Muse, members Duke Crider (vocals/guitar), Luis Mejia (guitar/vocals), Paul McCorkell (bass) and James Dickens (drums) have brought together their cultural heritage to form a sound that is both universal and unmistakable!

It's the 4 chord song!

Two words.... Gay Rights.

A women’s soccer coach at Belmont University, in Tennessee, resigned yesterday following pressure from the administration after announcing she and her partner were pregnant.
Lisa Howe, who was at the university for six seasons, told her team that the athletics department had told her to resign or be terminated following the discussion of her partner’s pregnancy.
There are lots of news reports on the interweb, this is just one.




It's ok, we can mention it now...
