Behold: the all-dominating C Seed 262 – the largest 4K widescreen TV on the planet.

A screen diagonal of 262 inches (nearly 22 feet) or 6,65 meters; ten integrated high-end speakers for 9.1 cinema surround; an integrated 4k media server and a custom fabric cover (disguising the ultra black screen as a huge painting when not in use) that folds back with a touch of the remote to reveal the enormous ultra high definition LED gogglebox.

Yours for a trifling €477,000.

The latest episode of Skype-based series Missing You

Via RTÉ:

On tonight’s episode of Missing You, siblings Romy and Cole Delaney open up about the untimely death of their younger brother Fionn.

Romy (27) and Cole (26) come from a large family in Laois. Their younger brother Fionn died suddenly in October 2015, from a brain haemorrhage. He was just about to turn 19.

Romy, who lives in London, was heavily pregnant with her first child, and wasn’t able to make it home in time before Fionn passed away.

Filming for Missing You in their first year of grief, and in Baby Arlo’s first year, Romy and Cole talk about Fionn, the night he passed, and the call Romy received to tell her the news. In their grief they try hard to focus on the new life in front of them.

Thanks Gareth

Hally – Waiting

Cecilia Saviotti writes:

Naas Man, Hally is delivering one song AND music video every week for the entire 2017! The project is called “Peeling Onions”.

Sick of an ancient secrecy Hally opens up with unbridled honesty about madness, death, politics, beauty and love.

He fuses poetic lyrics and eclectic visual arts with ambient landscapes, raging jazz standards and intimate tender ballads.

Hally’s second Album of this series, “Peeling Onions” Vol.2, will be launched on Friday 14th July at 8pm in Riverbank Arts Centre in association with Kildare County Council Art Service.

In fairness.
