I asked on Twitter night what were your favourite songs of the week? And, you had many very different answers...





Firstly, I directly asked Mr. Conor Jay, a highly promising and skilled young Techno and House producer from Ireland (or as he puts it on his profile, between Ireland and Wales). His favourite song? Strangely it's the same as mine- 'Barbra Streisand' by Duck Sauce, a collaboration of Armand Van Helden and A-Trak. It's a fantastic tune, and it's up there with the summer songs of 2010, alongside One by Swedish House Mafia. If you've not heard it, check it out- it will be big.













James, from Sligo said his favourite song, or tuneskie, this week was 'Blackout' by The Game. It's a new song, apparently, and surely fans of the rapper will love it. Now, it's hard to get the information on the song (try searching it on Google and not finding a animated piece of procratinating fun), but it appears to be from the recently released Brake Lights mixtape, alongside his accomplice DJ Skee. For your pleasure, here's some gangsta' rap from Connacht.













Ian Healy is loving the new song 'Ready to Start' by Arcade Fire, from their latest album 'The Suburbs'. After headlining Oxegen this year, no wonder Irish still love them.







Azrael, simply from Ireland, said his song was 'Revival' by band Deerhunter. From first listen to this track, I get the feeling of dark, heavy 70's rock, and a Jimi Hendrix style. Just me? Have a listen and tell me what you think.













She got a record amount of VMA nominations yesterday, but Lady Gaga is getting some spins on the player of  Irish student Alan Rice with her song, 'Starstruck' alongside Space Cowboy and Flo-Rida. It's got some serious Timbaland influences, but there are some serious heavyweights behind this track. Yes, it's very good indeed. Good choice, Alan.
















Daniel Pitcher, the 'sports guy' from FM104, and fellow twitterer, is loving 'We No Speak Americano' by Yolanda Be Cool and D-Cup. Need I say more? Big tune.










And, I didn't expect the last one, from friend and technology fanatic blogger, Shane McEntee- he's listening to 'The Daylight Here' by indie folk group My Terrible Friend. With various instruments, sounds and some moving lyrics, the young female duo (who are quite popular on YouTube it seems) deliver a strong powerful song that's quite special. Do listen and watch, now.



Don't mind the jabbering at the end- it's not in the song, but it shows how they seem to be fun, nice people.
















If you've got a favourite song of the week, get in touch. I hope to make this a regular weekly post. You can shout me @davidokeeffe or drop a post on my official facebook page, www.facebook.com/davidokeeffeofficial.
