This Saturday I’m hitting the road and heading to Derry to play for La Musique in Sandinos. They’ve already hosted gigs by Hystereo and Deadbots, and they have the Filthy Dukes coming over on Easter Monday, so I reckon I’ll be right at home in their club. Doors are at 10pm. Hopefully I’ll see some …

The boys from Berlin (well, sort of…) are back this Saturday, March 28th, for their second head to head gig, which after the success of the first promises to be a packed affair. Andrew’s Lane Theatre is the venue of choice this time, and support comes from Lil’ Dave and Job. Live visuals on the …

[YouTube thanks to Damien Mulley] I did a quick Twitter post last night when I noticed a story on RTÉ News online about two anonymous paintings of a naked Brian Cowen that had appeared in two Dublin galleries yesterday.

Much and all as I like thought provoking low budget movies in foreign languages, I always have room for a big blockbuster in my schedule now and again. This summer has a lot of “big” movies coming up. Here are a few of the trailers to whet your appetite. (There is no trailer for Avatar …

I don’t know a lot about the man apart from he wrote and continues to write funny TV shows, and he runs a pretty popular blog called Why, That’s Delightful. Recently he posted a piece about an unforgiveably misguided piece in the Scottish Sunday Express that had to do with teenage survivors of the Dunblane …

Bathtub IV from Keith Loutit on Vimeo. After reading a bit about it I understand what tilt-shift photography is, but I still don’t understand how it fools my brain into thinking what I’m seeing isn’t real when clearly it is. I was sure when I watched the video above for the first time that is …

I’m speechless, which isn’t a good way to start a blog post, but what a game! The 61 year wait for a Grand Slam is over. It’ll be a long time before I forget that drop goal from O’Gara going between the posts. I hope you all enjoyed it as much as I did. [Update …
