Dr Beat this Saturday!

Written by Nadine | 28 July 2010

This month, our Dr Beat musical makeover candidate is Willie White, who loves his tunes — but thinks his collection has room for improvement. He wanted banging, underground electronica, and he also liked the idea of having a few more female vocalists in his collection. Find out what he thought of the 18 tracks (see below) we put together for him on this weekend’s Kiosk on Phantom 105.2 (www.phantom.ie) at 11am.

Also, have we missed a trick? Let me know if there’s a track that you’d like to have seen on there — comment below or drop me a tweet — @nadineoregan.

Bean there, done that...

Hi everyone,

Coming up on the show this weekend:

Frances Bean Cobain, the 17-year-old daughter of Kurt Cobain and Courtney Love, has just unveiled her debut exhibition of notebook sketches in Los Angeles - but are they any good?

John Burns, art critic and deputy editor of The Sunday Times, will be reviewing the work - have a look yourself at http://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-1294730/Kurt-Cobains-daughter-Frances-Bean-puts-art-creepy.html?ito=feeds-newsxml

This week, The Kiosk has a double-bill of live performances: We have The Cast of Cheers, who have plenty of gig dates lined up, and they'll be telling Nadine about their great new single; and we'll also be joined by the equally excellent The Ambience Affair - we're looking forward to these enormously.

Also on the show, with M.I.A. causing controversy in the States with both her new album and her brand of politics, the Kiosk's panellists take a look back at the history of the 'Paper Planes' singer - and while they're at it, they'll be picking out their favourite controversy-causing stars.

And Nadine will also be joined by Sue Loughnane, the only Irish contestant in Britain's Next Top Model - is the reality series as bitchy as you'd expect? All will be revealed....

That's all to come on this week's Kiosk - don't miss it!

Well, it was another hard-fought battle as Team Kiosk got to grips with the needs of our latest musical patient, Pat O'Mahony, who requested an all-Irish, all-underground play list of tracks released from the late 1990s to now. I'm extremely pleased to report that Pat picked the wonderful Syndicate by Dublin band Future Kings of Spain as his fave track, thus removing the coveted Dr Beat crown from atop Derek Byrne's head, and, ahem, placing it on my own. Woop! Above you'll find a disconsolate Derek with Pat (Johnnie is on his hols in London, and so didn't have to do his sad-face for the camera) and a much happier me.

Next week, The Kiosk is going on holidays to Oxegen -- I'll be reporting from the festival all weekend, should be fun -- but, alas, we won't have a Kiosk show. But we'll be back, bright-eyed and bushy-tailed on July 17th. Looking forward to it already.

Cheers,

Nadine
