We're doling out high praise for the internationals who brought their A game in the instant classic between Leinster and the Cell C Sharks at the RDS. 

Who plays what role in Munster's off-field team as they struggle to define short-term and long-term goals?

And finally the Emerging Ireland tour that no one can agree about, other than that it's good to win in a big rugby country like South Africa.

The Dirty Projectors are one of my all time favorite bands. Compositionally, they experiment and push the boundaries (if there are any) of indie rock music. They are unafraid, raw, and fucking mental. I am constantly inspired by their textures, meters, timbres, and sheer genius. "Offspring Are Blank" has a very modal, distinctive melody. They combine that melody with hip-hop-esque grooves and noisy guitars. With those in mind, I wanted to convey the rhythmic syncopations and raucous guitars in my fantasy with lots of low-end playing, "harmonic-minory" riffs, and lots of slamming down on the keyboard.

Original: "Offspring Are Blank" written by the Dirty Projectors 
Album: "Swing Lo Magellan" 
Composer: Michael R. Oldham 
Piano: Michael R. Oldham 
Recorded by: Sam Mazzocco (Chubby Pug Productions) 
Mixing/Mastering: Sam Mazzocco & Jim Schanz 
Recorded at Backthird Audio - Aurora, IL

Dirty Projectors - Fucked For Life (Live on Pitchfork.TV - 2009)

We've attained rugby perfection and there's nothing left to do but meditate on it (OMMMMM) but we still luxuriate in it a little bit, or even a lot. Just how good was it? Very, very good. Then there's the question of the ABs trajectory, and lastly there's the squad for US Eagles game – and beyond.

Big Thief's Buck Meek Comes Full Circle

Debut instrumental acoustic guitar LP from Jonny Dillon. Better known for his analogue electronic music productions and all-hardware live sets under the ‘Automatic Tasty’ moniker [Lunar Disko, CPU, Wrong Island], Jonny’s records belie the fact that he has been quietly exploring the musical landscape of the guitar for nearly twenty years.

Informed in large measure by the world of Irish traditional music and song (of Sweeney’s Men, Planxty and Seán Garvey) along with that of primitivism and the American Spiritual (of John Fahey, Hank Williams and Mississippi John Hurt)
