Here is a music video I produced with Irish band, Heritage Centre. It’s for their upcoming single ‘The Boss’; off their debut album ‘Alright, Check it Out’. In real life they are 5 guys but in music video world, we used 5 girls and transported them back to the 1960s.

The one-time “Pleasant Pet Shop” (on Pleasant Street near Camden Street in Dublin) was renamed today – twice.

All fixed now.

Here is a Greek documentary on the crisis which features a lot of renowned academics who are critical of what is being imposed on Greece and other ‘peripheral’ countries. Particularly interesting is the concept of ‘odious debt‘ (I think in Ireland you guys call it “NAMA”) and the case for debt cancellation, explored in the film through the two very different cases of Ecuador and Iraq. Oh, and Lenihan’s “we all partied” moment is given an airing too.

We thought that you might be interested in seeing our video on consumption called “32:1″ that we have just released looking at the relationships in the rate of what ‘we’ consume, in the West, and the implications if ‘they’, in developing countries (Brazil, Russia, India and China, for example), caught up with the levels we, rightly or wrongly, currently enjoy.

The German moderators discusses in the beginning how boring and lame the official looks are and that the fashion designers came up with the following outfits to make the game more interesting and colourful. They explain in great detail how the colours look since at the point many did not have colour TV!
Verdammten hipsters.
