It seems, or at least we’ve been told,
That our rivers are flowing with gold,
It won’t make us rich,
As it’s one more thing which,
Will be given away and not sold.

ClearHaze revisits the recently reoccupied Grangegorman Squat. To wit:
…a social and cultural experiment highlighting the housing crisis. Shortly after that visit all of the residents were forced to leave. After almost a year a core group have returned to the site so we went and talked with them about their plans for the squat.

Electric Picnic
September 2nd-4th, Stradbally Hall, Co. Laois
Here’s what you may need to know…
01. The biggest weekender of the summer has finally announced its first wave of acts this afternoon in Dubland. It goes down September 2nd-4th at Stradbally Hall, Co. Laois. Sunday day passes are already sold out, and weekend tickets are going briskly.
02. The blockbuster headliners include the Chemical Brothers, the newly-reformed LCD Soundsystem, and alt-pop songstress Lana Del Rey.
03. Further up on the bill are new-wave legends New Order, US indie-rock wunderkinder Haim, Animal Collective, Broken Social Scene, Super Furry Animals, and rising stars in the form of Savages and Blossoms. Also of interest is the announcement of Belfast post-punk outfit Girls Names, whose Arms Around a Vision was one of the Irish albums of 2015.
04. Also on the bill: Years & Years, Nathaniel Ratliff & The Night Sweats, Wild Beasts, Glass Animals, Todd Terje, Jack Garratt, Gavin James, Wolf Alice, The Avett Brothers, Pantha du Prince, Phosphorescent, Ezra Furman, Mount Kimbie (DJ set), Daniel Avery, Aurora, Nao and Meilyr Jones.
Verdict: As expected, heavy on the crowd-pleasers with some genuinely big names atop the bill and amid the announcements, backed by a mix of Irish and international independent talent. Could use more of the former, mind. Looking forward to further announcements.
