Massively recommend this to anyone with ears. Even a singular ear, or ear-like capabilities.

This new Lucas Santana Grand Orchestra album is pretty good! Pretty frickin good!!

Screw it, bought the 2014 Player's Handbook as a little treat.

In positive news, last weeks interview seems to have been a success. Now we wait. Another in the books for two weeks from now, but one battle at a time.

This goes so hard!

Lunch of champions.

This is, in fact, the business.

Here we go again. Kicking today off with the new Alice Merton. Not a lot on my #newmusicfriday radar, so the hunt will be on shortly.

Ayyy, new Fågelle track out, and an album on the way. Excellent. youtu.be/ADSvPLIz5wg

these videos have raised more than $180,000(!) for a variety of urgent causes over the last few years. this year i'm once again supporting the Palestine Children's Relief Fund, whose work is tragically as vital as ever. please consider giving if you can! www.gofundme.com/f/david-ehrl...

In Dublin, on Fenian Street, there's a factory that makes child sex abuse material. You can pay it money, as a subscription, and that's one of the services it offers. This doesn't happen by mistake or because you've tricked or hacked the system. It’s a feature. www.thegist.ie/the-gist-the...

Slightly diminish a band Jane's Interest

'What is that supposed to mean? That the law is obsolete in the face of a white supremacist sexual exploitation material-generating machine?' It's the first column of the new year and it's grimmer than ever before, my friends.

Kicking today off with the new Alter Bridge self-titled. Took a run through their backlog last January, so it only feels right to jump in on this now too. #newmusicfriday #metalsky

I write in today's @irishexaminer.bsky.social about the laws that are broken when online AI platforms facilitate the production of child sex abuse material. No new laws are needed. Companies (and their executives) are accountable as well as users. www.irishexaminer.com/opinion/comm...

Heck yeah, more Messthetics and James Brandon Lewis coming! Excellent news.

If you haven't heart the track 'Extinction Burst' from this.... do!

Found a much bigger onion for my spicy onion pasta, and today I'll be trying it with gnocchi. This house will be well fed tonight.

It's that time again. Anyone in the Dublin area looking to try something new, add some exercise or make some new friends, why not come roll around on the floor with us at Balance Ireland? Based in Phibsborough. Beginners classes opening next week! #speirgorm #dublin

Agriculture will cut all of your heads off! pitchfork.com/reviews/albu...

Yeahhhh, this is solid stuff. Riffs galore!

Not entirely sure this set-up is gonna work for my one-room apartment.

2026 movie thread!!

Yes I'm lactose intolerant. Yes I ate these delicious tacos. Yes my tummy hurts.

Just like clockwork, a new year breezes in, the archives unlock, and a song from my 2024 AOTYs gets stuck in my head, so I'll be revisiting them (and some other faves) here over the next few days. First up, my number 10: Katy Kirby - Blue Raspberry, which is a delight.

I think this was the best joke of 2025.

well here she is! my very first solo game and all about Ireland's best deli choice: the Chicken Fillet Roll. free to play in browser. LMK what roll you decide to make & if you get the feels or a laugh, even better. this is a roll-driven game. made lovingly in Twine unaminh.itch.io/chicken-fill...

Ah, damn. What a great actor. RIP.

Hell yes, the highlight of the movie year cometh!!!

Pepper sauce (I'm already doing it)

Using my superior knowledge of chemistry to defeat the alcohol in my system by eating a big slice of apple tart with a pint of water. You should have seen this bleet with all the typos in - a thing of beauty. Alas.

Home. Pisht. Investigating the Nashkel Mines.

DI BERGI: The review you had on 'Avatar: Fire and Ash,' which was merely a three-word review, just said 'Fire and Ass.' JAKE SULLY: Where'd they print that? Where'd they print that? NEYTIRI: Where did that appear? QUARRITCH: That's not real, is it? JAKE SULLY: You can't print that.

I've seen this going around today and it's beautiful, so here's a gift link.

And to all a good night and enjoy the fish.

My #AOTY for 2025: The Spiritual Sound by Agriculture. Not the album I was expecting, or perhaps wanted, but here Agriculture shake off the shackles of their black metal limits and smash any remaining assumptions. Yet they remain as potent as ever, emotionally and sonically. A triumph. #metalsky

For number 2, Sunshine and Balance Beams by Pile. I've long adored Pile's off-kilter DIY alt-rock, and this feels like a culmination of their work to date. Maguire sheds grief and spits acid. An incredibly effecting listen, and delivered with Pile's unique melody and power. #AOTY #Metalsky

Home sweet home. #speirgorm

In at 3, all my birthdays come early as Sumac and Moor Mother team up to release the Film. A sonic panic of lurching heavy metal scores Moor Mother's anxious rage. Truly astounding stuff. #AOTY #Metalsky

In at 4 on my #AOTY list, Moron Police - Pachinko. A techni-colour progfest. Genre-hopping, hook-slinging insanity. Moron Police masterfully hide their complexity and intensity behind a smooth toned pop sheen, but leave a thousand earworm melodies in their wake. #metalsky

Really hoping the Heated Rivalries hype brings more people to Shoresy.

Hyped to finally have my hands on the new @keezyyoung.bsky.social book! The colours are so good 🤤

Getting to that point in my #AOTY countdown where the order gets hazy, but at number 5 I have Patrick Shiroishi, 'Forgetting is Violent'. One of my favourite jazz artists of today with a gripping, emotional and experimental effort and some great collaborators like Aaron Turner. #metalsky
