A short version of Youtuber Mauricio Antunes Oliveira’s mashup of Street Fighter II and a range of televangelist demon-botherers including Benny Hinn.

Here’s the full version, featuring all twelve warriors.

You may recall the Fundit campaign by DabbledooMusic.

A new Irish-made method of teaching music to kids without them having to wade through quavers and whatnot.

Well.

They are 72 per cent towards their funding target with just six days to go.

Also.

Co-founder Shane McKenna writes:

After Twisted Pepper and Bernard Shaw sessions over the last two weeks, DabbledooMusic will be hosting workshops for all ages at Knockanstockan [Festival] and Castlepalooza over the next two weekends.

Behind a Little House Behind a Little House Behind a Little House Behind a Little House Behind a Little House Behind a Little House Behind a Little House Behind a Little HouseItalian photographer Manuel Cosentino found a tiny house on a featureless hill and returned to capture images of the changing sky and light behind it – shooting from the exact same location over two years.

Currently exhibiting at the Klompching Gallery in New York until August 10th, the photos are mounted on a wall behind a book of reproductions of the white sky image – inviting viewers to draw their own versions of what might appear behind the little house. Cosentino sez:

The first photograph starts the series with a Big-Bang-like explosion and sets everything into motion, the last is a new beginning – it represents that piece of “carte blanche” that we are all given with our lives. By drawing in the book anyone is at the same time breathing life into it, keeping it alive page after page, and is also responsible for his or her contribution within a wider context.

Independent TD Stephen Donnelly wears it loud and proud at last night’s Banti Room gig at the Twisted Pepper.

By all accounts, it was a hoot.

The podcast will be online next week.
