The Kiosk this week

Barcelona was so warm! Quite a shock to come back to Dublin — and discover the floods and the endless rain. Home sweet home, eh? Anyway, coming up on the show this week, I’ll be talking to Albert Hammond Jr of The Strokes about his new second solo album (and of course asking him about the current state of play with the Strokes). Derek O’Connor from the Darklight film and art festival will be coming into the studio to talk about how the festival — which takes place in Dublin this weekend — is going. Our reviewers Johnnie Craig and Cillian McDonnell will be reviewing new albums from Beck, My Morning Jacket and Fleet Foxes. And Daragh from Dark Room Notes will be telling me about the track that means a lot to him — that’s coming up in The Kiosk’s Back Track. Tune in to the show at 11am Saturday on Phantom 105.2 (repeated at 8am on Sundays).
