What Italian Christmas cake has the most colours? A Panntone. No, you resign.

I sat down with Ciara Doherty and Neale Richmond to discuss how international far-right influencers co-opted narratives around the recent Irish fuel protests for their own agenda

I see you’re laughing, but you can’t ignore the uncomfortable truth - the pope IS soft on crime

This new Ae is a banger -

Ever heard of the paranormal phenomenon of The Sandown Clown? My mate sent this to me yesterday and it’s too good not to share - obscurban-legend.fandom.com/wiki/The_San...

You just reminded me that I saved this for some reason. This is the reason.

Sound on…

Widow’s Bay is a lot of fun. It’s maximal pastiche that bombards you with a kaleidoscope of references, but it’s done with lovely attention to detail in the set designs, gorgeous lighting, good acting & writing too

I met someone the other day that doesn’t like greyhounds because apparently to them they’ve no personality. After exclamating wtf!, I told that person to fix their heart

Finally got around to watching Marty Supreme. It was kind of like the movie equivalent to being cornered in a bar and given a life story by some boomer American spoofer. The s/t was glorious, which is what drew me to it, but incongruous to what was happening on screen, intentionally so(?) I dunno

I keep coming back to this recent Aleksi Perälä album of pure ambient drone - aleksiperala.bandcamp.com/album/rays There’s more than a hint of new-agey chakra vibes on much of Perälä’s music, and that’s just fine by me because I’ve found that it actually does help with sleep & focus

Had a fun time dancing at The Sugar club / Signs Of Life party last night, saw a Congolese band that were incredibly tight and bugged out to some funk & Latin vibes in the garden area

Here’s the archive from last Friday night. We had gas craic in the studio. There’s some real hairball style mixing on this one, but it all kind of made sense at the time - www.mixcloud.com/DublinDigita...

I’m back playing some jams within my excessively broad definition of house music on ddr. tonight at 8. People have told me I’m wrong, but it’s all house to me. Anyway, whatever you wanna call it, it’ll be party jams all the way for sure - listen.dublindigitalradio.com/home

#bandcampfriday First up, "OF DUB" by LEGION OF ONE. This is NOT a dub album! Rather inspired by my love of dub and particularly the punk and post punk influence. This was release by my friends at the awesome @frontendsynthetics.bandcamp.com frontendsynthetics.bandcamp.com/album/of-dub

#bandcampfriday Lastly, this slice of weirdo psychedelic gothic noise from myself and my excellent friends @thelastsound.com @whok.bsky.social and Bryan O'Connell. Lots more of this to come. We're sifting through hours of recordings atm. cruelnaturerecordings.bandcamp.com/album/scrawled

Stalwarts of Dublin's free-music scene are launching their latest album. It's a reminder not just of the power of letting go, but also of listening. “I kind of genuinely think that listening is an ethical act,” says Damien Lennon, of Zeropunkt.

In this episode you’ll learn • How electro transformed funk into machine-driven rhythm • Why the TR-808 defined the sound of a generation • The role of Detroit in shaping futuristic music • How electro creates spatial, city-like environments #electro #electronicmusic youtu.be/CerbZmbFQgs

These numbers should be amplified everywhere there is a flat surface. The 3,000 person sample size was statistically significant. The direction of travel is positive but runs directly contrary to the perception born in the echo-chamber of Twitter-brained media and politics. (H&CC is a client)

I will prob have to get the new BoC lp on CD because that’s the format I have all their other releases on. I like to say “I don’t make the rules”, but the truth is I kind of do, I guess my OCD-ish brain compels me to

trying to play peekaboo with my child but he's a European diplomat: me: where'd daddy go? baby: we must articulate a post-daddy vision of strategic autonomy me: peekaboo! baby: my historic relationship with my father is stable despite recent troubles

If memory serves Bertie wanted this near The Matter site in D7 and spent a lot on planning it, mental imo & prob not counted in the ongoing spiralling costs. I guess FG, who took over after the crash, went with D8, even worse 🙈 The old An Post SDS site at Newlands Cross was right there at the time…

Harris says a lot things. Harris says this, Harris says that Kids are still on waiting lists who need spinal surgeries, Harris promised in this would end in [checks notes…] 2017 For someone’s who been Taoiseach and Tánaiste for much of that time he has precisely zero chops, he’s a spoofer

I tried out the government’s AIReady.ie courses you don’t have to! And, really, I don’t recommend you do!!! Here’s a rundown of the experience 🧵👇 (1/30)

I may as well reshare it myself 😇

I perused The Market Place of Ideas and came home empty handed

We've got to stop thinking fascism is dark magic, like it's evil but it works, so decent people must agree not to use it. It doesn't work. Every fascist society ever has contained the seeds of its own destruction. We oppose it not because it works, but because too many people suffer while it fails

Wrote a piece about Martha and the Vandellas, civil rights, and their place in the history of Black women R&B groups. I also created a YouTube playlist (in the comments) with some of their hits

A company called Avestus Capital Partners apparently

The father of a disabled child has been refused access to a disabled car parking spot in his complex. He has a blue badge, he has offered to pay, but as a social tenant, he is shut out.

"The woke pope has got to go!" You wake up in a cold sweat. It's Christmas 1170, you're in Bures, Normandy. Thomas Becket must live!

Did you know that there’s a large Greek community in Adelaide? It’s a food heaven

Amazing, also that sleeveless top really bangs

“Two can play at that game” is literally the Drebin quote here when he takes an innocent woman hostage to cluelessly fight the enemy
