I think www.hairybaby.com is the big one. I do like jamartfactory.com but that's more art focussed and not sure if they do t-shirts.

They remind me, on an exposure basis rather than musically, of Cabaret Voltaire

You're not alone in that

Yeah, that guy. His mates had to cart him out about half way through

Were you subjected to the antics of the fucked up guy too?

One of my favourites. That it's a 15 minute walk home afterwards certainly helps.

Amazing gig

Mogwai on stage in Vicar St, Dublin, this evening

Mogwai in Vicar St this evening. I haven't seen them play My Father My King is a good while. Certainly blew the cobwebs out of the rafters.

The best band of brothers playing in Dublin this month. Next month too, probably. @sparksofficial.bsky.social at The National Stadium tonight.

One thing I have noticed with the demand curve is that small upwards tick every day at 02:00. People on smart plans activating devices at the very cheap overnight rate I presume.

For me, it's an amalgam of the circular roads and the canals.

Local politicians might define it as the constituencies of North, South East and South West Inner City. That would extend beyond the roads/canals to cover Ringsend, East Wall and parts of Drumcondra, Kilmainham & Islandbridge

I'm still convinced that NI Electricity missed out on a gigantic source of renewable energy by not wrapping Ian Paisley's coffin in copper wire

We managed to miss each other in Sullivans in May, and that was a much smaller venue..

Certainly not in outlook, but potentially in effect. If he's true to his word.

Oh...

Tower Bridge in London with scattered clouds overhead

In London for the day, I'm reminded of the Thames Television ident.

How many brits are laughing at what the yanks are doing to their country while they themselves sit in boiling water?

Rod The Prod!

More bike friendliness in Freiburg. We're in a cafe atop a 2 storey bike parking garage. That's a bike bridge crossing the 11 platforms at the main train station.

Just out of shot is another bridge, for trams, and of course there's a stop on it for most of the tram services in the city.

A shop display of small dolls in an open-sided box. One is standing atop the box, pretending to be queen of all she surveys, while ignorant of the travails of those within.

Lizzie's on a box, on a box, on a box.

Bikes, lots of bikes

Safe to say Freiburg is bike friendly.

Croke Park as seen from Hill 16. Players are warming up on the pitch, the stadium is beginning to fill up, but mostly on the lower levels only

Looking forward to this. C'mon #Leinster

Fish shop with sign for Rongs.

Dublin now has fish shops called Wrights and Rongs.

I had that happen last week. Reinstalling the app seemed to work.

If you’re rioting or even just protesting because a foreigner has been accused of rape, but you never rioted or protested when a white Irish bloke was accused of rape, you are not a defender of women and are - quite literally - just a racist

Cheers! I'm bringing the younger one to My Bloody Valentine in November, so something obviously transferred.

Fair, the people who go to gigs to socialise while the gig is happening drive me mad too.

All very well thanks, am at the age of having to worry about bumping into my kids at gigs. As long as they're not on their phones..

Great shot, but I do wish people would put the phones away. The odd photo is Grand, but recording the whole gig... Jaysus.

(Hope all is good with you, it's been a while!)

I was up about 3 rows from the front at Iggy Pop on Saturday and a couple of young folk barged through the mosh pit to join us.

They then proceeded to spend the next 10 mins having a chat while everyone around them was in the moment. It was very weird.

The Scratch on the main stage at In The Meadows festival

Highlight of In The Meadows so far: The Scratch.

Had to leave early because my youth is calling: Slowdive in a tent up next

Gilla Band at In The Meadows. The guitarist on the right has a distinctive late 80's long bowlcut hairstyle

What goes around comes around. The late 80's long bowlcut hairstyle,worn by House Of Love and many others, has become fashionable again.
