   About Sparks n' Mind
The Final Year students in the Sound Training Centre have put together a charity album with all the proceeds going to “Aware", an organistion that provides support and awareness programs for people suffering with depression. The concept and general theme of the album is “Songs That Inspire”. The album comprises of contemporary Irish artists covering influential musicians and songwriters that gave them the initial spark to start a band. The album is entitled “Sparks n’ Mind,” as it deals with themes of personal and creative growth, hope and guidance, which we feel are relevant to the themes “Aware” deals with, in helping people suffering from depression. The artists involved with the album range from the cutting edge of the Irish Indie scene to the some the most established acts in the country. The album includes big selling Irish artists like Bell X1, Mick Pyro (Republic of Loose), Lisa Hannigan and Damien Dempsey to up and coming alternative acts like Dirty Epics, Ham Sandwich and LeGalaxie to name but a few. Many of the bands will be recorded in Temple Lane Recording Studios, state of the art Apollo studio, by the Sound Training Centre final year students. The release date is set for the 12th of June.

A Seasonal Disguise

A Seasonal Disguise



Dec 7 2009 11:48 PM

Greetings to you, our kind friends from Ireland.
     As some of you may be aware, we had intended to visit your fine and verdant home this very winter, in the deep cold heart of December. Unfortunately, due to circumstance, (that surly old bugbear), we will not be able to make it.  Do not fear, no need to rend your hair in agony or take to the streets in mournful procession.  This is merely a postponement of our inevitable arrival, as foretold by scholars and mystics of old. This band of rough hewn and unknown balladeers from out the concrete wilds of Boise, Idaho will make joyous landfall in the relatively near(ish) future.  In the mean time, we will wrap ourselves in blankets and begin recording our new album, to be released this spring. We greatly appreciate all of your support, comments, and interest, and look forward to performing for you soon. Take care and keep your toes warm. Josh/ASD
     And here, an extra special gift for you. A video of us covering a song by Boise’s biggest musical export, (no, not Josh Ritter, though he is a fellow Idahoan, of whom we’re duly proud), Built to Spill.

Greetings!
We at 'Clitoral Defecation' are over the moon about the fact that we are now friends!!

Your internet 'friendship,' is very dear to us,
for instance,the non replying to messages,the deleting of bulletins before you read them and
just general ignorance between your lovely self and 'Clitoral Defecation,'
is going to make our day and make us moist......oh so soggily moist.......yummm!

This whirlwind of nonsense of a friendship of ignorance,
 is going to be quite the fantastic voyage we are about to embark on!
All Aboard!! *giggles*

Apart from enjoying long walks in seedy neighbourhoods and candle lit orgies,
'Clitoral Defecation' are self absorbed,hateful of everything and completely ignorant to morality!

So please,if youre feeling frisky,dirty,even a tad naughty,drunk or smacked out on your narcotic of choice,
come sit on our lap,tickle our chin and whisper sweet nothings in our ear!

yours sincerely and confusingly arousing
