“Homebeat and Mabos team up one more time for the last Homebeat gig in the arts and culture warehouse space before it’s handed over to the new owners to build more much-needed offices near Grand Canal Dock. Musically, it’s a Kildare affair with folk multi-instrumentalist Sive, joined by dream pop duo Lyttet and electronic hypnotics from Adultrock.
You may recall the trailer for Anya – a new animation to raise awareness of the To Russia With Love charity.
Well the nice folk at Brown Bag Films have just released the adorable, mmf-heavy completed version.
(Thanks for the heads-up to Anya writer/director Damien O’Connor)

In the Irish Independent, Edward Smith writes:
My particular blood type is rare and actively sought by the IBTS [Irish Blood Transfusion Service].
Known as the universal donor, it’s the only blood type that can be given to anyone in emergency situations. My father is a universal donor too and receives text messages from the IBTS regularly, requesting a donation, but I get turned away at the door.
I’m being robbed by the IBTS of the chance to potentially save someone’s life. I feel punished by this policy. I’m perfectly healthy, but I have a boyfriend and, consequently, I’m permanently excluded from donating.
At the blood donor clinic in Dublin, all appeared as one might imagine, until I mentioned I had a boyfriend. I was asked to join a nurse in a private room where I was told I was not eligible to donate.
Thanks Emmet Martin
