Nightflight, D-light; tools and toys, Clockwork Noise; some Bitches, one Bob and a Tubelord... Reader’s Wives, Supafast jives, and the ever present Sounds Of System Breakdown... Yes as we near the end of lap one of Ireland’s race to the bottom; the pits, indeed, have claimed many – and as we ponder the frugal future of publishing, pink skinned from slaps aplenty, it’s amazing what sights are now glimpsed around the next bend...

With a twist of hope, a dash of industry hatred, and a pitcher of
look of; and steering clear of the same old suspects, covered by everyone else, all the time... Populist photocopying – while no doubt pretty and a great way to parlay – is not the objective here. This winds some people up no end. We couldn’t care less. Self important? Silver spooned?
Michael Jackson, MTV, Hiroshima. Yes August certainly has a lot to answer
Ninth year, times the fifth month = our 45th issue. Freaky... Meant to be? A lazy intro?? 50/50 I'd say... (I'll start again then, shall I?) First sun, second wind, and two of Ireland's finest... Yes, traditionally May gives way for a lighter brand of lunacy. Midnight mischief dons her backpack and shades, as the doom and gloom fades, and flirts her way to a festive fumble. Ditching larks in the dark, she's set to make her
It's not some naff teeny-rock band, it's not a particularly funny episode of Family Guy, it's certainly not a calamitously over-hyped American President, and neither is it the slowest route imaginable Townsend Street to Enniskerry...

From this season of swan songs, a sibling style springs. Bucking trends, endeavouring to make amends, for our dear departed comrades... No Event Guide, no State, only that rag that I hate (which is about as useful and relevant as rickets). But we can't let this year, subside our cheer,
The launch party for Ireland's first camper and scooter festival will be held at Dublin's newest venue the Complex on Smithfield square...

March 16th sees Dublin host both Mixmaster Mike and Laurent Garnier. Decisions, decisions...
If Jungle was massif and Drum and Bass punctuated your summer of love, chances are, your bass was brought by Bukem.
Peter: "We explained politely that we are doing more to encourage, sustain and
develop homegrown music in this country than they are, on a fraction of
what it costs to furnish their new office. I think they got the hint."
Bob: "People can wear what they want but we do strongly encourage all domains
to let their hair down and feel the freedom to express their creativity
through fancy dress... And yes we do have costume camp!"
Fernando: "I have been trying for four years to book LTJ Bukem for Ireland (either
for a festival slot or a club show) and I almost cried when I got the
“YES” directly from him!"
Jamie (Bastardo Electro): "Hell yeah. There is some amazing music coming from Irish labels and producers at the moment"
Jimmy Smith- "We've 100% artistic freedom (on the new album). The record label was never involved in the
music or recording. They were very patient especially with this second
one-Total Life Forever. They just waited until we'd finished"
We would like to think we are a very eclectic group here at Connected. So in the spirit of diversity we bring you some roooock!
Oscar winner, singer, songwriter, actor.... Jaysus he must be wrecked! Glen Hansard wins over one of our own with a powerful performance laden with character, charisma and charm.
He's famed for penning 'Bad Things' - the title track for smash hit vampire show 'True Blood'. What we wanna know is- Does he suck?

These guys didn’t mess about as they launched straight into a set that was packed with more effervescence than a Berocca in a glass of Red-Bull!

After fifteen years the trio’s talent is sometimes forgotten but live they ignite into a ball of fierce energy and tight performance.
Passes up for grabs, two passes for each winner
