Wisdom In Books: Martha Wainwright, Island Arts Centre, Tues 14th August.
http://wisdominbooks.blogspot.com/2007/08/martha-wainwright-island-arts-centre_20.html
Monday, 20 August 2007. Martha Wainwright, Island Arts Centre, Tues 14th August. Last week I went to see Canadian-American chanteuse Martha Wainwright at Island Arts Centre. She is currently touring in lieu of her new album which is to be released in the new year. The evening was opened by The Winding Stair. An unconventional quartet who meld Celtic and conventional styles with beautiful harmonies and some really original ideas. Their new album Finistere is just out, and definitely worth a look.

Wisdom In Books: Road Rage [or BMW drivers suck]
http://wisdominbooks.blogspot.com/2007/09/road-rage-or-bmw-drivers-suck.html
Friday, 28 September 2007. Road Rage [or BMW drivers suck]. Every once in a while our the media comes up with buzzwords to try and help define a cultural phenomena. Road Rage. Is one such term. After working late last night for the climax of a software release, I got out an hour early and made the mad dash across the city. I was in a good mood, and excited about my weekend. I can't really describe my reactions as rational at all- I didn't turn and give him a dirty look or beep my horn to let him know of ...

Wisdom In Books: May 2007
http://wisdominbooks.blogspot.com/2007_05_01_archive.html
Tuesday, 29 May 2007. The Frames, Vicar Street - Sunday 28th May. And the price of fame. Is that they love you when you're gone". I saw The Frames the other night in Dublin. This was the third time Ive seen them, and on a return to their Fair City from lengthy touring and movie promotions I was expecting this to be a show to remember. To their credit, the band didnt seem to let it bother them, and played through the hits, along. The Frames truely are masters of their art. The guitar and violin combin...

Wisdom In Books: March 2007
http://wisdominbooks.blogspot.com/2007_03_01_archive.html
Sunday, 25 March 2007. Blogging : Fad, Phase or Fate. I have decided to jump upon the user-generated-content bandwagon and start my very own web-log. a blog if you will. Time will tell whether this will be a phase. a fad started on a Sunday afternoon to escape both the O.C. on channel 4, and an assignment on another window on my computer. Time will tell if this blog is as fleeting as the winter which has just passed. Hopefully inspiration will strike me! Posted by David McConnell. View my complete profile.

Wisdom In Books: I don't want to be a silver fox..
http://wisdominbooks.blogspot.com/2007/08/i-dont-want-to-be-silver-fox.html
Tuesday, 28 August 2007. I don't want to be a silver fox. The above picture may be dodgy. You may not be able to see what that is on the black background, so I'll spell it out for you. That is a grey. Hair I am 23. This is not acceptable. I'm off to bed to dream of covert trips to boots to buy 'Just For Men'. It wasn't meant to be like this. Posted by David McConnell. Thanks for reading my blog and taking the time to comment! Just had a browse through yours and it made me smile. I'll be back! Sarah 'Geek...

Wisdom In Books: Nottingham (Not seeing Bright Eyes), 17th & 18th August
http://wisdominbooks.blogspot.com/2007/08/nottingham-not-seeing-bright-eyes-17th.html
Saturday, 18 August 2007. Nottingham (Not seeing Bright Eyes), 17th and 18th August. Nottingham is good. Their tour book says that it is 'a compact city', which was well suited our flying visit, and although I didn't make it to Sherwood Forest, I did manage to see the sights of the town centre's shopping district. And I have to say that I liked it. Anyone who knows me well will know that I have a CD obcession. Some might even say I'm a CD pervert. It's not just their stock though, its the ethos behind th...

Wisdom In Books: July 2007
http://wisdominbooks.blogspot.com/2007_07_01_archive.html
Tuesday, 31 July 2007. The music industry shudders to its core. Best news story of the day has to be this. Shown right is the new album cover for Hard-Fi's new album. Just to be upfront about this. I hate Hard-Fi. Hate is a strong word, so maybe I rephrase that. I really. Singer Richard Archer is quoted as saying. We wanted to break the rules.". Wow What next eh? Who needs Rage Against The Machine to reform. Have a sense of humour there lads. Stick It To The Man Indeed! Posted by David McConnell. The fil...

Wisdom In Books: April 2007
http://wisdominbooks.blogspot.com/2007_04_01_archive.html
Wednesday, 11 April 2007. Songs That Make Me Press Rewind. You know when you're listening to a cd for the first time and you come across one of those songs. A tune that makes the hairs on your neck stand up. One of such beauty, that you hit rewind straight away to hear it again. Here my top 12 in no order. Death Cab For Cutie - Transatlanticism. Wilco - At Least Thats What You Said. Ryan Adams - Nuclear. Regina Spektor - Samson. Van Morrison - Astral Weeks. Arcade Fire - Rebellion. Team - Huddle Formation.

Wisdom In Books: Alfonse - The Spider who lives in my Wingmirror
http://wisdominbooks.blogspot.com/2007/09/alfonse-spider-who-lives-in-my.html
Sunday, 16 September 2007. Alfonse - The Spider who lives in my Wingmirror. Nature is great, it really is. Inside the wingmirror of my lime-green Vauxhall Corsa, resides an ever growing eco-system. A spider has taken root there and has proceeded to develop a complex web system, despite my initial attempts to dislodge him with my attempts to be the first 1.2L engine to break the landspeed record. I have named him Alfonse. Posted by David McConnell. 16 September 2007 at 08:22. 18 September 2007 at 00:15.
