R.I.P. James Blood Ulmer. Hard to define him in a sentence, he covered a lot of ground in his career but I'll always go back to the guitar skronk of his earlier records. m.youtube.com/watch?v=scog...

Went to edit Herbie Hancock's discography on Wikipedia (his appearance on Sonny Rollins' 'Now's The Time' isn't correctly recorded.) but found out I'm banned from editing! What a result!

A Love Gift

What a song. Never underestimate the Dü's pop songwriting.

Hate listening to the Dissect episode about 'Random Access Memories'. Early episodes were good with a few omissions but the quality (understandably) went to pieces once he hit 'Human After All.

Sorry?

Picked up some records. Still very funny to me that 'Only Built For Cuban Links Pt. II' isn't streaming anywhere and I had to buy a physical copy to hear it.

And now they are all gone. RIP Sonny Rollins.

“My wishes for the planet in 2024: No killing. No killing. Don't kill anyone, anywhere, for any reason. -S.R.” Tweeted by Sonny Rollins on Dec 31, 2023

if the hardcore band’s guitarist looks like this you are about to die in that pit

Even if you've blocked him, you may still be "following" him. There's a ton of my mutuals showing up as his followers, and it looks real iffy for lots of progressive industry heads to be still in that number.

'Download the app for your fridge' It should be illegal to ask me this. Someone should be in jail for asking this.

In her final years, Sinéad O'Connor donated her old clothes and unused makeup to Irish trans teens as she wanted them to enjoy expressing their gender identities. Sinéad never punched down, stood firm in her beliefs, and will always be loved by the people of Ireland. Ms Terphy is nothing of the sort

Joseph Mugnaini’s 1955 cover art for 'The October Country,' a story collection by Ray Bradbury.

Cancel him if you want, but I thought Seymour Omnis looked terrific at the Met Gala.

Roisin Murphy you MINGER

Bought a newly released biography of My Bloody Valentine and it was worth it for this alone. Big Kev at his best/worst.

Still one of the greatest posts of all time.

Everyone in Dublin should go to this, all one million of you.

who remembers "the bones brigade"? man skateboarding in the 80s was wild

Listening to 'Peggy Suicide' by Julian Cope. Who let this lad keep making albums? Everything I've ever heard by him has been a mess. A better author than a musician by far.

DOUBLE LEITRIM

Destroyer solo set in Dún Laoghaire??? GET INNNNN

Incredible scenes.

Biblically accurate portrayal of the urinals in Callanan's circa. 2016.

Good morning to everyone except the worst computer industry promotional pin.

Roy Virgo. Ghosts of Shulmeirik. From Steven Eisler (Robert Holdstock), The Alien World, 1980. Cover art for Michel Jeury, Le sombre éclat, Fleuve Noir, 1980. #RoyVirgo

Groundwork of Evangelion The Movie 1

FUCK YES

No .gifs of Mike Mills either but I didn't do too badly, bar the hair. The free concert that R.E.M. played in Köln and broadcast on MTV genuinely changed me.

Thinking about a girl I knew who bumped into the Saw Doctors on a night out in Galway, invited them back for a house party, made them climb in the kitchen window (she forgot her key) and then sat them all down to watch her favourite movie The Virgin Suicides

Dublin on a Wednesday with two bands I've never listened to? Broken Social Scene are lucky they're one of the best live acts going because that's a nope otherwise.

Strong Viper Higgins at the debs vibes off this.

Record shops of Copenhagen came through for me at the weekend. Could have picked up three mint copies of 'John Cale Comes Alive' if I wanted but settled for one. Three of these not on streaming so delighted to find them.
