Lovely scenery out in Sutton this #EasterSunday evening. 😏

This, but journalism. The foundations of all success is failure - repeated, frustrated, sometimes mystical failure that is only ever resolved by experimentation and the application of previous experience. The greatest risk from AI is that it prevents future generations from learning how to think.

Safe travels #Artemis 2.

Wash 'n' roll. 🎶 Halfway through the latest #vinyl spit-and-polish of recent secondhand #album arrivals. I could be at a lot worse. 😏 BTW if you're wondering what to do with your unplayed #recordcollection - vinyl and/or #CDs - shout. I might know a good home for them. 😊

Denmark'll beat them. 😏

Just to let you know that @rtegold.bsky.social will be repeating the final episode from last November of series 3 of #ForTheRecord in tribute to the late Michael Lyster tomorrow, Tuesday, at 8pm: www.rte.ie/radio/gold/f... #music #vinyl #CDs #records #recordcollections #radio

The #vinyl fairy has been while I was out. Better get stuck in so I guess. 🤷‍♂️ #records #music #recordcollection #ForTheRecord

And they were... David Byrne and band burning down the house last night in the 3Arena. Wow. Check out his Spike Lee directed in-concert American Utopia film to get a flavour. HT Bren Berry

Once more with feeling... Today's highlight. If you can, do #donateblood. It really is so easy. And painless. And invaluable. I'll undoubtedly remind you in another three months. 😏 HT @givebloodireland.bsky.social #GiveBloodSaveLives #WeCountOnYou

Three two ones. 😳 #EPL

The old town looks the same... The new single from Kildare-man, Ciaran Wynne, the video for which was shot around his (and my) ol' Lilywhite hometown. Not a lot of people can say that, can they @colpatterson.bsky.social? 😎 www.youtube.com/watch?v=n2FH...

Fond memories of working at NTL, woman rang up screaming at me. Her husband in background shouts at her, “don’t talk to them like that. They’re on fuck all” Then he takes phone off her, and gives me a line which I have used myself since “Do you have a manager you dislike intensely I can speak to?”

Wasn't expecting that Arrested Development special that dropped today. 😳 #FreeAndrew #eventually #maybe

Probably a booking for Easter... 😏 #hewillriseagain

I see @upscrolled.bsky.social is up back on Google Play after a brief suspension: newsroom.upscrolled.com/blog-posts/v... There at @patomahony1 👋

When someone posts a death notice in one of your WhatsApp groups and just for a nanosecond...

An almost 32 year-old #blastfrompast. Sent to me this morn by Lynsey Morton - that's her at the back - and taken in @rte.ie after a #Gortnaclune94 recording - she and her schoolmates were in the audience. That @divinecomedyhq.bsky.social t-shirt? Yup still fits. 😐

On @upscrolled.bsky.social now too. Just FYI, like. share.upscrolled.com/en/user/2979...

Really hoping #Trump hand isn't contagious. 😏

Oh, and nearly forgot, I also just updated my @linkedin.com profile with #ForTheRecord series #3 details too. For those who love the smell of #LinkedIn in the morning, like. Click and collect at www.linkedin.com/in/patomahony/

For the mad-as-a-dozen-boxes-of-frogs times we now live in... www.youtube.com/watch?v=sWLd...

Finally got round to updating the website's #radio section to include series #3 of #ForTheRecord. www.patomahony.ie is where it's at. I'd like to say I've been busy but not sure filing & cataloguing #CDs counts as busy. Recovering from a wee #hernia op doesn't help either: don't get old, kids. 😏

I wrote about the rise and fall of Twitter (with great insights from @marklittle.bsky.social and @kateconger.com and @jonronson.bsky.social) www.irishtimes.com/life-style/p...

MAGA. Because "Make Me And My Cronies Even Richer Whatever The Cost" doesn't scan as well.

Idrissa Gana Gueye returns from AFCON. "So Michael, anything interesting happen while I was away?" 😐

First Vietnam. Now Venezuela. If I was Vanuatu I'd begin to worry just a tad. 😳

Everybody's gotta file sometime... 🎶 And now is as good a time as any. The latest almost-annual #CD reshuffle has begun. And will keep me busy well into 2026. Cataloguing the CD #singles for the first time ever & inserting now-listened-to CD #albums into the pile. Keeps me off the street corners. 😏

Like the rest of my colleagues at RTÉ 2XM, I'm signing off ahead of the station's closure on New Year's Eve. Join me this evening at 5pm, for a mix of fave Irish-made tunes, new and old; and thoughts on 2XM. 2xm.rte.ie, Saorview 206, Virgin 944, and the RTÉ Radio App. #spéirghorm #ireland

The media does this every year. Before Christmas it tells you to Buy Buy Buy and once the big day is over it tells you to shove it up your arse.

I'll take my chances with the oven.

Got a bunch of warped #vinyl? Nothing a thousand bucks won't allegedly sort. 😳 www.turntablelab.com/products/pro...

Last old and new sweet-16 #albums of 2025 ready for #record-shelf #filing. Cleaned a bunch of 12" #singles too. Happy thingee, y'all. 🎶🌲🎅🎁⛄ #vinyl #albums #LPs #45s #recordcollection #vinylrecords #music #ForTheRecord

Those #albums not claimed are now in the Irish #Cancer Society shop, Lr Rathmines Rd, #Dublin 6. Tell your friends in the big schmoke. 😎🌲🎅🎁 #records #LPs #music #recordcollections #Christmas #ForTheRecord

The ego has branded. 😏 www.vulture.com/article/trum...

Anyone want any of these before I chuck 'em over to a local charity shop? A mad mix of not-my-cuppa vinyl I've somehow accumulated over the years. Maybe an Xmas present for someone? No cash, swaps only. Collection only too, from D6. PM me pics of your unwanted vinyl or CDs and let's see. 🤞

That's my #Xmas listening sorted. This morn's #RoyalMail/#AnPost special delivery. Thank you @olirecords.bsky.social & @roughtraderecords.bsky.social #MarcCarroll #LoveIsAllOrLoveIsNotAtAll #HighNoonRecordings #reissue #boxset #vinyl #CDs #PuppyLoveBomb #TheHormones #records #albums #ForTheRecord

"Step away from the box of secondhand #CDs, Mr O'Mahony. "Damn, too late..." 👮‍♂️ (Part #346) 😎

A good mate sent me a WhatsApp message a few minutes ago saying he accidentally sent me a code by text and could I send it on to him asap. Yup, he's been hacked and if I sent him that code my WhatsApp account would've been hacked too. Just a reminder to be careful out there. 😳

A banging CD collection is nothing without a great CD player. Audio expert Brent Butterworth’s all-time favorite? The inexpensive Syitren R300. Read more about why this CD player makes his heart sing here: nyti.ms/3M87zW8
