A theory or2...

Sionna · 07-27-2003, 07:49 PM

Okay just came home from a party where there was i or 2 comments about Damien Rice:

1)Eskimofriend is some sort of drug, "so I look to my eskimofriend,when I'm down..."

2)In Rule no.2/Nine Crimes, rule no.7 should be about kevin not going to heaven (????)

3)Damien actually didnt grow up in Kildare but in Galway(cause apparently thats where the hippies of Ireland are from)

Anyway,I thought they were funny <img border="0" src= "smileys/smiley4.gif">

daol20 · 07-27-2003, 07:54 PM

Isn't his 'Eskimo friend' a Finnish friendof hiswho happends to look like or remind him of an eskimo?? Not sure about No.2 but i reckon that No.3 is just people voicing their opinion on something they dont know too much about.......but thats just me!

thats true daol but i really prefer sionna's mates theory... i can relate to that alot more!! i never actually thought of that and it does actually give the song more depth than it already has!

The other 2 theories suck tho! tell ur mates they arent liked and they definately cant stay<img border="0" src= "smileys/smiley2.gif">

Sionna · 07-27-2003, 08:06 PM

Your right Daragh,I didnt bother telling them the truth cause I like their theorys,especially the first one<img border="0" src= "smileys/smiley4.gif">

daol20 · 07-27-2003, 08:13 PM

Yeah i agree! I'd like to thinkthat his songs had more hidden depth into them that just telling a story! Allows for a greater level of appreciation!!

Gatsby · 07-27-2003, 08:15 PM

like damien dempsey... i know he cant sing as well as damo and his songs dont have as much power to them but he is an amazing lyricist if u know where he is coming from etc... thats powerfull

daol20 · 07-27-2003, 08:21 PM

Looking forward to seeing Damien Dempsey at Lisdoonvarna! Havent even heard a song of his yet, but i've been hearing loads of good stuff about him!

Is there mp3's of his floating about the net???

Gatsby · 07-27-2003, 08:37 PM

yeah theres a few but u really have to look hard

have u got soulseek and i can give u his best ones...

Sionna · 07-27-2003, 08:46 PM

Not too keen onDamien Dempsey.Dont like his songs and he has a terrible accent.Heard he's gonna get elecution lessons though!

Gatsby · 07-27-2003, 08:50 PM

keep the accent... its what makes him good... he isnt trying to be something he isnt by putting on a stereotypical american style accent he is singing it in his native thick dublin accent with a bit of a christy moore tinge into it and thats why i like him

daol20 · 07-27-2003, 08:54 PM

soulseek......is that like kazaa or iMesh? I havent got it anyway.......but im surei can get it some time!

Gatsby · 07-27-2003, 08:57 PM

yeah its www.slsk.org its pretty alright altho u can only download 1 song per person which sucks

daol20 · 07-28-2003, 07:29 AM

took me ages to really get into him... went to his gig in the village and absolutely hated him and slated him to everyone i knew... then didnt hear a song of his for about 2 months and his songs would drive me insane inside my head so then i said "f**k it ill go get Sieze the day" so i got his album and loved him since

daol20 · 07-28-2003, 12:09 PM

Talk about going from one extreme to another!

Ha, ha, cool story! I first heard him on "Mystery Train" - the program that launched "Other Voices". I was completely blown away. His "Other Voices" appearance was awesome.

Such a unique style and I admire the guy for standing up for what he believes in, so I make allowences for a poorrhyme or two. I have both albums, the last single and some live tracks.

FredDaNinjaPunk · 07-29-2003, 08:42 AM

If ye like Damien Dempsey, what do ppl think of John Spillane from Cork? Or have ye even heard him? Personally I like him alot.

P.S. Alot of my friends that were at David Gray in Killarney gave out like sh*t about Damien Dempsey. They obviuosly just didn't get it, d'you think?? They had never heard of him b4

Angela · 07-29-2003, 10:01 AM

I think Damien Dempesy isn't for everyone, and that's OK, too.

Never heard of John Spillane. Does he have a web site or something?

FredDaNinjaPunk · 07-29-2003, 10:40 AM

http://www.johnspillane.ie/sounds.htm

Also theres an animated video of 'Sailing' on http://www.irishmusiccentral.com

He's also not for everybody I'd say

FredDaNinjaPunk · 07-29-2003, 10:45 AM

Sorry that's 'We're going sailing'<img border="0" src= "smileys/smiley5.gif">

FredDaNinjaPunk · 07-29-2003, 11:16 AM

Hey I just heard Complicated by Mark Geary. Another classic.....I think I'm a pop fan in disguise!!

FredDaNinjaPunk · 07-29-2003, 12:02 PM

That was posted on the wrong thread...Sorry

Thanks, I'll check him out! Should have known to look on Brendan's site <img border="0" src= "smileys/smiley2.gif">

And the "Complicated" coverby Mark- *runs in other direction* - that was sooo bad! But funny! <img border="0" src= "smileys/smiley4.gif">

FredDaNinjaPunk · 07-29-2003, 12:34 PM

Hillarious....!!

FredDaNinjaPunk · 07-29-2003, 12:36 PM

He didn't have a clue of the words! He sounds like a BAD pop idol wannabe

Angela · 07-29-2003, 01:35 PM

I checked out John Spillane. He sounds very good. Sounds like he's quite a bit different live than on record. It always takes me a while to get into singer/songwriters, so tyhat's really all I can say at this point.

Why do you say he isn't for everybody?

FredDaNinjaPunk · 07-29-2003, 03:33 PM

I know alot of my mates don't like him, that's all. They think he's too folksy!
