Life Is What You Make It

In this debut album, Tony delivers twelve songs that weave the ups and downs of life in a guitar based Blues-Rock genre taking you on a musical journey that is as danceable as it is throught provoking - songs reaching the depths of human emotion and misery, as well as the heights of happiness. Much of the guitar work is reminiscent of rock-blues artists, such as Jeff Healey, Robben Ford, and Gary Moore. Opening with the title song "No Use For the Blues" exploring the value of success and happiness, the CD takes you on an aristotelian journey from relationships and attraction, "Voodoo Angel", to social acceptance, "Killer Bees", and beyond. Take a trip on this CD through the highs and lows and see if you agree that life is what you make of it - "Happiness depends upon ourselves" - Aristotle.

Prolific Irish singer/songwriter Paul Brady passed through several major bands before embarking on a long and successful solo career. Starting his performance life as a hotel piano player in Donegal at the age of 16, he moved on to a series of rhythm & blues bands in the mid- to late '60s, including Rootzgroop, Rockhouse, and the Kult. They were followed by a stint with the Johnstons as a guitarist and singer that ended in 1974, and a shorter one with Irish folk group Planxty that saw Brady touring extensively. It was in that band that he met Andy Irvine, and in 1976 the duo released the album Andy Irvine and Paul Brady. Brady's solo debut came in 1978 in the form of the folk album Welcome Here Kind Stranger.

A Place for Us to Dream: 20 Years of Placebo celebrates the nihilistic English alt-rock veterans' first two decades via a handsome two-disc set that also boasts a 32-page book of pictures curated by co-founders Brian Molko and Stefan Olsdal. Opening with the band's propulsive 1998 hit "Pure Morning," the perfect distillation of Placebo's seedy Suede-meets-Harvey Danger brand of goth and Brit-pop-tinged glam rock, A Place for Us to Dream drops a little fan bait early on via the soaring new single "Jesus' Son." Less sordid than live staples like "Nancy Boy," "Taste in Men," and "The Bitter End," all three of which are included here, it retains the group's nervy energy, but leans harder on the anthemic side of things. Obviously, the collection's biggest selling point over 2004's Once More with Feeling: Singles 1996-2004, is the inclusion of post-Sleeping with Ghosts gems like "Meds," "Infra Red," "Too Many Friends," and Molko and Olsdal's brooding rendering of Kate Bush's "Running Up That Hill."
