“It could be seen as slightly poor etiquette for a manager to consider retiring before his artist has split, quit or died, but U2 have never subscribed to the rock and roll code of conduct. As I approach the musically relevant age of 64 I have resolved to take a less hands-on role as the band embark on the next cycle of their extraordinary career.
“I am delighted that Live Nation, who with Arthur Fogel have been our long term touring partners, have joined us in creating this powerful new force in artist management. I have long regarded Guy Oseary as the best manager of his generation and there is no one else I would have considered to take over the day-to-day running of our business.”
Paul McGuinness in a statement to the Irish Times.

“‘Sounds Damn Fine’ is our big end of year hand-pulled, screenprinted poster show bringing together a mixture of 30 established and emerging illustrators, designers and street artists. Our debut show ‘Damn Fine Dublin’ [last year] was such a mega event that over 1,000 people passed through the door on the night and we picked up some fantastic press coverage in all the creative magazines and blogs.
“This year we are back with ‘Sounds Damn Fine’ showcasing 30 exhibiting artists, each with 30 signed and editioned screenprints hand pulled at the Damn Fine Print Studio, selling for a bargain €30. Our aim is to once again raise some much needed funds for our new screen print studio so that we can offer the city a top-of-the-range open access screen printing facility.
After 12 long hard months we are nearly there and on Dec 5th the ‘Sounds Damn Fine’ event will also see the launch party for the new studio.”
“At the heart of Damn Fine Print is the belief that we should provide a platform for artists to show-case their talents and expose a wider demographic to affordable original artwork. We had a great event last year with some fantastic artwork submitted, so there’s year we’re hoping for an encore that’s bigger, better and louder.”
Dayum.
And well might she be baffled.

“Fair City Last night about 2 minutes from the end there is a scene in the office of The Station Bar. You can clearly see a keyboard a mouse but no screen. It is like they took it away to see the actress and forgot or did not bother putting it back or the props dept could not find it.”
Anyone?
Update: Some, though by no means all, say they can see a monitor – possible a Dell – at an impractical angle in the darkness to the left (see comments).
Let’s have a closer look:
Hmm.
Perhaps we’ll never know.
Watch here
UPDATE: Nope. Still no sign of it…
