Tommy KD – Satan’s Government
He’ll be at the Electric Picnic this weekend.
Mike Casey writes:
Body and Soul at 9.30pm on the Sunday night of the Electric Picnic will present Tommy KD – Dublin born, rapper, actor, performer with a life story from the streets, hip-hop stripped back and raw to the bone.
Featuring beats by Hazo of illdependents fame and visuals by the guy who made ‘The Life and Crimes of Citizen Ming’ . The video teaser (above) is a sample from ‘Satan’s Government’. The song the looks like Ireland.
Some spectacular footage taken of Cork city by Raymond Fogarty via a quadrocopter drone.
With the support of Fáilte Ireland, Raymond will be filming his travels along the Wild Atlantic Way from Kinsale to Malin Head.

“Our virtual Tesco shop of the same 30 items costs €132.64 in the Republic and €112.02 in the North, a difference of more than 20 per cent. ”
Actually, no. It’s either 18.4% dearer in Republic, or 15.5% cheaper in NI… but definitely not “more than 20 per cent”.
North And South: A tale Of Two Grocery Bills (Conor Pope, Irish Times)
What you may need to know:
1. Alcoholic small town cop Lou Garou (Leo Fafard) gets himself cursed. When the moon is full he transforms into… Wolfcop!
2. A sequel for this Canadian horror comedy has already been greenlit.
3. Look at that poster! JUST LOOK AT IT!!! Stellar work from TheDudeDesigns.com
4. If you’re of “a certain vintage,” then it’ll remind you of a time when video libraries were filled with cheese from companies like Embassy and Gorgon Video, and every movie had a cover like this.
5. The scene where Wolfcop kills three bank robbers in pig masks is worth the price of entry alone.
6, Broadsheet Prognosis: Deliciously rubbish, but then what were you expecting from a movie called WolfCop?
Release Date: September 12
