SQUAREHEAD PATRICK KELLEHER

Just a Tragedy/Attention to Detail Popical Island ***

The first track is written by Patrick Kelleher and the flipside by Squarehead's Roy Duffy. Both are performed together by the two artists. Meanwhile, the accompanying Class Albumsmockumentary shows that Popical Island's approach to comedy is as endearingly ramshackle as its approach to music. This one-off double A-side is launched with a gig at Dublin's Grand Social tonight. youtube.com

CHRISTY MOORE

My Little Honda 50 Sony Ireland ****

On this cheery country’n’Irish ditty, Christy hops on his trustee Honda 50, hits the nitro and takes us on a ride all the way through the townlands of embarrassment, self-parody and cringing disbelief to a charming little hamlet called I’m 66 Years- Old and Do Not Give a Damn What You Think.

RUBY GOE

Get On It Goe Music ****

“Be my Mr Savvy/He gonna leave me walk like Bambi.” The lyrics to this debut single from London electro/soul singer Ruby Goe are probably indecipherable to anyone over 25, but the tune certainly does get the old toe tapping.

WILL YOUNG

Come On RCA ***

The second video from Will Young's Echoesalbum is essentially a remake of Robbie Williams's She's the One, except with dog shows instead of figure-skating. Young plays Dublin's Olympia on Halloween.

BOMBAY BICYCLE CLUB

Lights Out Words Gone Island ***

With their third studio album ( A Different Kind of Fix), Bombay Bicycle Club have positioned themselves as a sort of easy-listening Talking Heads. There's nothing much going on here, but all the same this is a tune and a half.

ED SHEERAN

Lego House Warner *

Zane Lowe recently proclaimed Ed Sheeran's Lego Housethe "hottest record on the planet". The only logical explanation for that would be if Zane Lowe were broadcasting his show from the planet Neptune, where the average land temperature is -201 degrees. (I checked on Wikipedia!) Because this record is completely crap.
