it absolutely sucks that total delivery app victory means that often when you walk into a take-out spot you are lower in priority than a receipt printer churning out to-go orders

lets be real, those loops never disintegrated

Edwin Starr's draft lyrics?

"Tell Fetterman he could suck my dick/I take that back I don't want him to do that" fucking cracks me up every time.

See also Guided By Voices.

Just scrolled all the way back on the timeline to show this to my wife who has just learned of Joyce's fart kink. I'm sad to report this didn't even elicit a smile.

Exploding Brain meme Being proud of your County is ridiculous: You’re proud of being fenced inside a colonially-imposed border? The borders in many cases take cognisance of already-existing pre-colonial tribal boundaries. Even if this is the case, making some imagined essentialist idea of your origins a part of your personality, thereby putting up barriers to kinship with your fellow humans is a diseased mindset. Fuck Dromard.

Absolutely phenomenal gig. Would happily go to every date on the tour, they were that good.

A big green Cthulhu emerges from the ocean.

Terry Oakes' 1971 album cover for "The Dragon" by Vangelis

Stereolab in Cork tomorrow night. Was told about them playing in Nancy Spain's in 1996 with Tortoise as support. Apparently a good few people left after Tortoise! Cork's love for that band runs deep. Setlist below!

Fantastic article from Mike! My Dad was surprised to know the kids* are into Dr. Strangely Strange as they're one of *his* bands.

*people in their thirties.

Tailteann Games revival when?

1940 Irish language scif-fi book Manannán by Máiréad Ní Ghráda
It is the first Mecha Robot outside of Japan and mention of a Gravity assist in fiction. It was never republished or translated.

Time to re/start a noisy indie guitar band after hearing this. Cross between this, Urusei Yatsura and Gumball.

2026 is the year I get really into Th' Faith Healers. I should have seen this coming, they did morph into the mighty Quickspace a few years later.

I left so much stuff behind the counter, just ready to be ambushed by it next time I'm in.

Outrageous scenes yet again. Unbelievably lucky to have Bunker and Plugd in this city.

I'm from Clonmel, it's probably me.

Herbie Hancock - Wandering Spirit Song Listen to Wandering Spirit Song on TIDAL

Eddie Henderson of Herbie Hancock's Mwandishi band is playing in Bray in May. Might be time to set foot in Wicklow for the first time.

Some people havent read 'Please Kill Me',the only book worth reading about punks in NYC. The recent biography about her only makes it sound worse tbf.

Best not to mention the time he went drink-driving around L.A. with Chris Thomas, his producer, hanging on to the bonnet of his car. (Cale is eccentric but fairly harmless overall.)

Absolutely massive FUCK YEAH

I've been listening to the new Fixity album for the last few days and it is something special. Guaranteed to turn up on a lot of end of year lists. Out on @polytunnelmusic.bsky.social on March 23rd.

Garth Marenghi excepted of course.

NGL, burst out laughing at this.
