Nice to see through you, to see through you, NICE!

Anyone familiar with this live album? Like a lot of sixties concert albums it sounds kinda dodgy though it was released in 1983. Tracks have crude sharp fade outs to crowd noise. Is it just the studio recordings badly edited or what? Music is top notch but the sound is jarring. Nothing much online.

The Irish government said they would make this life-saving change but then they went back in their word so a whole bunch of pedestrians and cyclists are going to die for no reason. #SpeirGorm

Reminder for tomorrow night that it's non stop psychedelic sounds and lights how. With banging garage fuzz with an added tropical twist from Lex Woo. Basement of the Thomas House from 8pm.

The Climate Conversations 2025 survey is now open. The government is asking people to share their views on building a more sustainable future! Some of the questions are poorly designed and risk encouraging climate science denial, so it's vital that strong, evidence-based voices are heard!

I love the idea of a guerilla umlaut www.the-berliner.com/english-news...

Back in the basement with a set of tropical psych from Lex Woo and garage and freakbeat from our own Niamh Lynch and some old gubbins from muggins myself with some of the finest vintage wax you could hear.

An update to The Crackdown, my Dublin listings spreadsheet. New music things include some things in Little Green Street, a concerts Rún, Model/Actriz, & Brìghde Chaimbeul, a performance by A Guy Called Gerald etc. Also other stuff. #Spéirgorm #Speirgorm docs.google.com/spreadsheets...

1/ In March Govt approved a costly, polluting state-owned LNG terminal. Now Minister O'Brien is leaving door open to dangerous US backed LNG project in Kerry. This breaks climate commitments, raises new geopolitical risks and does nothing for energy security.

1/ Ireland’s Joint Oireachtas Committee on Enterprise, Tourism & Employment has concluded that the European Commission’s tearing apart of crucial corporate accountability laws will fail to protect workers & communities. It raises major concerns about unchecked corporate abuse. #CSDDD

A Borges story about a guy who gets AI to summarize all the world’s information for him, and then summarize the summary, until the AI has the whole world summarized into a single word. He sits alone at his desk, staring at the word, repeating it endlessly, certain he is experiencing everything

Still funny and still true.

Anyone want to go to Pulp. Selling our tickets cheep.

Still reeling at the news that a new song by Half Man Half Biscuit, “Record Store Day”, contains the line “Oh I do like to re-release my B-sides” #musichall

Would anyone ever actually say, "You know what I want? A dumbed down, oversimplified slogan that appeals to all my biases"? Of course not. Voters say they want sober, responsible messaging because they want to believe they're the kind of person to who responds to that sort of thing.

Feeling like playing some sunshine record tonight. Why not come out to play? youtu.be/EUFjABCbaDc?...

And now is it the man with the most rock and roll name in the history of rock? With some funky acid rock like this who cares what his name is. youtu.be/k6uCyga8BJg?...

People of planet earth the UFO is landing. Very exciting that @djfrancois.bsky.social will unleash his psychedelic side at the next MindFuzz. May 17th Thomas House basement. #mindfuzz #dublinnightlife #dublinclubbing #psychedelicmueic #vinylrecords #thomashousedublin #basementpartiesturnuson

Pretty clear from the scare quotes that this is not a remotely serious document.

When you hear those bongos across the fade out you know it's gonna go off. Looking forward to being back behind the decks in the Thomas House for the next MindFuzz on May 17th with a selection of new grooves and old bangers. youtu.be/uI-Sy_yFUAk?... #mindfuzz #psychedelic #dublinclubing

The left doesn’t actually need to make every decision based on what the voters currently support or what is currently possible. The conservatives in power enacted their extremely unpopular ideas over decades of chipping away at norms and building coalitions. You can just believe in things!

Just got this in the library but haven't read the Three Body Problem. Is this a problem of some other variety?

Springtime and time to start thinking about fuzz party time. Back in Dublin's Thomas House May 17 for a night of vintage psychedelic vinyl with legendary Dublin DJ Francois and myself. And the lightshow to massage your eyeballs and third eye. #psychedelic #garage #vintagevinyl #dublinmusic #dublin

I haven't actually looked through this but the area is appealing to me so I will be.

I think it was under-reported (ie, not reported) that we came within a hair’s breadth of implementing a complete EU surveillance state *and* undermining the security of all messaging encryption on the 12th Dec last year. Ireland was backing Hungary’s plan to do it. www.thegist.ie/the-gist-a-b...

I'm not one to panic. But the national treasure that is the guitar string vending machine in Fibbers appears to be endangered. It needs national heritage status now

This vote was to start the process of the cuts. It WILL come back for a final vote. There are some chances to slow or potentially stop it. Need constant pressure on GOP Focus on GOP swing seats & key committees. Energy & Commerce is where the Medicaid fight will go down. Ways&Means for tax fight.

'During Friday’s Wyoming Senate Agriculture, State committee meeting, Britt Boril joined the meeting via video and addressed French as “Madam Chairman.” When French told Boril to call him “Mister Chairman,” Boril responded that she “cannot be compelled to use” his preferred pronouns.'

We're shocked by Trump and Musk's antics because we judge them against the idea that governments should serve the people. But they have no such intention. Government for them is simply about seizing power and wealth. Let's stop being shocked, and build a global, democratic counter-movement.
