Depeche Mode, O2 Dublin, December 2009
Went to see the fab Depeche Mode in concert last nite in the O2 Dublin - first visit there this year and gotta say it lives up to all its promises, the old Point was a shed but the new O2 is a Proper Venue. Dave Gahan is still girating his hips and his voice is great and the rest of the band are top notch. Enjoy a bit from last nite!

ABBA have been partially reformed
ABBA stars Benny Andersson and Björn Ulvaeus are set to premiere their first newly written pop song in 15 years.
The song, called 'Story Of A Heart', will be released on July 6. It is available as part of a 14-track album by Andersson's 16-strong group The Benny Andersson Band.
Vocals on the track have been translated into English, and are sung by Swedish star Helen Sjöholm. As well as the Andersson/Ulvaeus song, 'Story Of A Heart' takes in Swedish folk music, polka, waltzes and Celtic folk.
The Benny Andersson Band have also announced their first UK performance, to take place at London's Hampstead Heath on July 4 as part of the Sweden On Stage festival. No tickets are required for the event.

Simon and Garfunkel to tour AGAIN
Paul Simon and Art Garfunkel are getting their group back together this spring for a reunion tour of Asia and Australia, according to a source close to the group.
Reunion plans apparently began after Simon and Garfunkel played three songs together during Simon's two-night gig at New York's Beacon Theatre in February.
Tour rehearsals begin in New York in May and the tour will launch in New Zealand around the first week of June, according to the source.
Shows in Australia and possibly Japan will follow, the source said.
Simon's manager, Jeff Kramer, has asked the group's musicians to clear their calendars -- which means canceling other shows -- from late May through June, the source said.
Kramer, in a statement to Rolling Stone magazine after the February show, hinted that a tour was in the works.
No official announcement has been made and Simon's publicist has not responded to CNN requests for comment.
"Yes there have been conversations taking place, but nothing has been confirmed," Kramer told Rolling Stone.
Simon and Garfunkel last reunited for their "Old Friends" tour in 2003 and 2004, which Rolling Stone estimated earned $123 million.
The duo, friends since childhood, is famous for breaking up and making up about every dozen years.
Their biggest hits together came in the late 1960s -- including "Bridge Over Troubled Water," "Mrs. Robinson" and "Scarborough Fair."

Its a simple thing but it makes life that little bit more enjoyable. So love your phone N put on a ringtone that will make you want to answer it and bring a smile to your face.
