'Member all the Irish wankers bemoaning "political violence" when Charlie Kirk was murdered - has anyone seen if they have anything to say about the attempted murder of women and children in the Drogheda IPAS centre? No? Funny, that.

FES launched 25 years ago with The Ground Floor compilation, so we've remastered it and are giving away a bunch of free download codes to anyone who wants to bask in nostalgia with us. frontendsynthetics.bandcamp.com/yum 33n9-kavt 5aak-g7tb 899k-ujux 2332-jkeq k763-g88m um3w-uf76 cont'd...

Vote Connolly....cause we can't. 💚

An important message for #speirgorm

“Nothing is more important than stopping fascism, because fascism will stop us all.” - Fred Hampton

Hello it’s me Sam Altman I have a zillion dollar idea it’s a chat bot that tells teenagers to kill themselves and you can generate csam with it and it poisons the air and water and it’s wrong most of the time and we’re going to put it in your refrigerator and stuff 👍 I need more money for this btw

Both Kris Kross and the Melvins were on it tonight. A proper noisy hot rock show complete with a tops off pit; which at times came close to disturbing my patented nod and occasional sway move.

One of the less known aspects about the Easter Rising is that Indian students at UCD also took part & were then deported by the British authorities for it. Among those students was V.V. Giri who became president of India and said “when I am not an Indian, I am an Irishman”

Mogwai were amazing tonight. Seriously loud then quiet then LOUDER THAN ANYTHING!

Remembering Sinéad O’Connor on her 2nd anniversary, and words from a new song, Milestones, she sang the last time I saw her play live. It ends with the lines: “One day we’ll sit with our maker Discuss over biscuits and soda Which one of you and me was braver Which one of us was a true soldier?”

The new @poorcreaturemusic.bsky.social album is great. I stuck it on whilst cooking and almost burnt everything to a cinder.

Irish government is blocking these children's visas. #LetThemPlay #GaaPalestine my.uplift.ie/petitions/le... @uplift.ie Yes online petitions are a pox but just in case

Solidarity with Ballymena Pride today ✊ But you know, the massive crowds out for Dublin Pride today *absolutely dwarf* the biggest gathering the far right have ever managed. Literally many hundreds of times bigger. They won’t ever win. They’ll just be loud while losing, like a dying wasp

Travel on well SLY STONE 1943-2025, singer, songwriter, musical director, producer, frontman, funkster, pioneer, genius. Thankyou for all the inspiration, for breaking ground so others could follow and for being the sassiest, funkiest Being on planet earth.

We absolutely agree with Cunningham here (too) Absolutely revolting of LBC 🤬🤬🤬🤬

There are some beautiful people in my life orbit, and for that, I remain truly grateful. thehedgeschools.bandcamp.com/album/tri-ir

The Vaselines were brilliant last Friday in the Grand Social. Much better than I expected. I went knowing only the 3 songs we all know but I had a blast.

ReBluesky for a chance to win tickets to Hyperdawn, who are awesome, and Minced Oath, who is awesome next Friday. This will be one of the best Dublin nights of electronic music in 2025. In fact also reBluesky if you don't want tickets, to be in with a chance of not winning anything at all. Yay!

Spiritualized were great last night. The 13 piece band really made a great noise.

Irish businesses will struggle to compete with Amazon ie, both online and in the high street. Shop direct with your Irish retailers, who already exist. Support local, not the billionaires.

Me: Happy St. Patrick's day! My snake roommate:...Wow. Me: Sorry, I didn't thin- Snake roommate:-It's *fine*.

I don’t want World War 3 to happen but if it does I hope the logo is like two W’s and then the 3 is like W on its side. Nice.

RIP Pat, very sad news. A wonderful poet and all round national treasure

Aw expected Jason Isbell was amazing last night. A lot can be with a guitar and some funny stories.

Los Campesinos were great in the Button Club last week. Tonight it's Jason Isbell in Vicar Street. High hopes.

To be clear: I want deepseek to fail, too

everything happens so much

Meta will burn down everything in search of growth. They have been doing so in broad daylight for years. They will make people angry and sad and hateful (and have done so before) in search of growth in their dying platform. They will make everything worse to create growth. It's a death cult

tech bros: we built a machine that can tell you stuff loudly and confidently! us: cool. is it right about stuff? tech bros: we cannot stress enough how loud and confident it is!

A late prezzie from me to mise. All are limited fancy colours edition etc etc I'm a sucker for it.

Bono is a pox

Genuinely the most tense, gripping sporting contest I've seen all year. Great sportsmanship at the end too 👏🏾

I heard there was a secret ooze that turned four reptiles into dudes, but you don’t really care for turtles do ya

He's making a list Of possible ways Your maiden aunt died In a topiary maze Sherlock Holmes is coming to town

Yes, replies on bluesky have gotten a lot worse, but have you considered doing what I do which is block between 5 and 20 accounts a day, because it makes the whole experience way better

Last Bandcamp Friday before the Santa fella arrives. Thanks to all who dropped by to float the reissue of At The End Of A Winding Day during the year, especially Ray O'Brien in @Musiczone. Link in my Bio to the remaining vinyl. You've been amazing, and it's never taken for granted . x . 🎅

can’t stop thinking about this Mary Oliver poem 🥹

This was my first time restringing one of these beasts. They can rot on there.
