A Playlist for an Irish Road Trip

A Playlist for an Irish Road Trip

In February, Vicky and I will be heading to Ireland for a pretty awesome road trip. We’re going to be flying into Dublin, where we will watch some Six Nations rugby, visit the Guinness Factory, Kilmainham Gaol (a former prison) and see some amazing sights. We will then drive across from East to West and spend some time in Galway before driving north to Ireland’s only Fjord – Killary Harbour. After some days lapping up the countryside and coast of…

Skullcandy Grind Wireless Bluetooth Headphones Review

Skullcandy Grind Wireless Bluetooth Headphones Review

I’ve been on the lookout for some new headphones and I have finally found the perfect ones. The Skullcandy Grind Wireless on-ear bluetooth headphones from The Board Basement really are awesome.

Here are three of my favourite songs by the New York rock band: Vampire Weekend – Oxford Comma Vampire Weekend – Giving Up The Gun Vampire Weekend – A-Punk

Three On Thursday – PVRIS

Three On Thursday – PVRIS

  PVRIS (which is apparently pronounced Paris and not ‘Pervis?’ like I’ve been saying for ages) are an American rock band from Massachusetts. Their sound is a combination of fairly poppy alternative metal with a strong electronic edge. They are mainstream enough to be pretty accessible for a lot of people but this edge keeps them from being boring or generic. I really like them and have been listening to their album quite a lot recently, if you need proof…
