Better late than never.

Talking about Kanye's 2018 run of albums with James McDermott and Colm Cahalane. We also laughed at Drake for more time than we probably should.

Quinntessentials Season 4 Episode 3 — Twin Fantasy by Car Seat Headrest feat. Daniel Cox

Car Seat Headrest?
Car Seat Headrest!

I recorded this back in like February, but I didn't think the world was ready for it. Now that we are well into April, I think it's time.

I'm joined by my boy Daniel Cox to talk about one of the best indie rock records of the year, that kinda really came out in 2011. It's complicated, just listen and we'll explain.

A month and a half after it was supposed to be edited, I finally got around to editing this episode. It's definitely one worth waiting for, with all-star guest Daniel Cox talking about the best indie re-release of 2018 (which isn't a super glamorous title, but it's actually really great!).

Quinntessentials Season 4 Episode 1 — Oxnard by Anderson .Paak

We're back! To kick things off, I'm talking about my favourite albums from 2018, and I'm starting things off with Oxnard by Anderson .Paak — a divisive album that I've really grown to love, despite its flaws.

https://www.mixcloud.com/belfieldfm/quinntessentials-season-4-episode-1-oxnard-by-anderson-paak/

This week I'm kicking off the season with a divisive album by one of my favourite recent artists, Anderson .Paak. Oxnard was a decisive album with lots of tracks that split the community. This week, I'm talking about it.

Me And My Friends FM

Soooo...

I'm putting Quinntessentials on hiatus for the time being and I'm giving this new concept a go. Every week I'm joined by someone new, to talk about and listen to the music that's important to them.

I might come back to Quinntessentials next year, but for now, the page below is where to follow my radio shenanigans. Oh and this one is a proper podcast now, so you can listen in all the podcasts apps (which I think is really cool).

ty 💕

I should've posted this a week ago, but my new show is finally live! Every week I invite someone on to talk about the music that's important to them. In the first episode, I was joined by Euan Lindsay and his very varied playlist, including Led Zeppelin, Nirvana and The Beegees. I know, that's a real mixture of sounds, but I think we pull it all together nicely.

Sounds from a Green Room

I had the pleasure of coming on Seán's show earlier this year, and he is an absolute master of radio - check out the last episode of his amazing Irish-music focused show now, live on Belfield FM: http://www.belfieldfm.com/html/player.html 🔥

Monday at 5pm marks our final show. By 6pm tomorrow Sounds from a Green Room will be no more, so tune in for one last time as I interview Buffalo Woman and play some of the songs that have meant the most to me for the past three years. Expect music from Girl Band, spies, Rusangano Family, Sorcha Richardson, Róisín Murphy and as much more as I can fit in. It's a sad one but it'll be a good one. For one last time, listen, like and share as usual! Let's actually get a decent amount of live listeners for the last one!

Quinntessentials Season 2 Episode 2 - Pure Comedy by Father John Misty

This week on Belfield FM I talked about Pure Comedy by Father John Misty - it's a pretty chill episode because I was (and still am) very, very tired. If you want some laid-back, sarcastic indie folk, this episode is definitely for you.
