Bring Your Mind – Faune

Dublin electronic duo’s stonking debut single.

Sarah writes:

“This is our very first video, produced by the fantastic ‘Cube Media’ ( who are very close with the legendary Exchequer St boy). The whole thing cost under €500 ( as a very kind favour from the Cube Media lads) and basically involved us throwing crystals at our face and swinging a disco ball around.”

Making the streets less high.

[2013 Lord Mayor of Dublin Naoise O’Muiri and a delegation, including former Dublin City Manager and current managing director of Irish Water John Tierney, speak with Sean O’Kane, marketing manager with ChipEstimate TV during a trip to Silicon Valley last year]

“This video has emerged of the former Lord Mayor of Dublin, Fine Gael’s Naoise O’Muiri, behaving rather strangely whilst visiting the marketing director of a Silicon Valley technology company during the annual Lord Mayor visit to San Jose in March 2013.”

“… ‘That trip cost €9,953 for the travel and accommodation of the Lord Mayor himself and two other councillors we see in the video, Fine Gael’s Ruairi McGinley and the Labour Party’s Lucy McRoberts. Did this money come out of the Lord Mayor’s €15,318.36 quarterly allowance or was this money on top of that?

“… Really, what value did we the people receive from that junket to San Jose in March 2013?”

Anyone?

Also: FIGHT!

What you may need to know

1. Nice to be back. We’ve been busy, watching True Detective.

2. The first Sin City (2005) was a lot of fun – they’ve been talking up the sequel for ages. Nine years later, it’s here.

3. New arrivals include Joseph-Gordon Levitt, Josh Brolin, Stacy Keach, Ray Liotta and Lady Gaga.

4. But wait – SPOILER ALERT – weren’t Mickey Rourke and Bruce Willis killed in the first one? It’s a prequel, and a sequel, see, like Godfather Part 2 (1974).

5. But why bother? Sin City creator Frank Miller just had another belated prequel/sequel thing, 300: Rise Of An Empire (2004), open, and open big. And director Robert Rodriguez could do with a hit after those brutal Spy Kids and Machete re-threads.

6. All hail Eva Green, BEST BOND GIRL EVER. She’s also in the 300 sequel, and makes the whole thing worth the price of admission alone. Anyone meet her when she was in Dublin shooting Penny Dreadful? .

7. Broadsheet Prognosis: Powers Boothe. Always a good idea.

Release Date: August (US)
