Krayb David – live techno from Athlone spaaaaaace
What you may need to know…
01. Precious little information exists about the two-headed, seemingly crab-like beast that is Krayb David. According to label pressers, “he drifts through space and time”.
02. Despite the not-inconsiderable logistic problem of being non-committal about on which plane of existence to settle, Earth-bound record company Cut & Paste Records caught the beast long enough to agree to a vinyl release for one of his missives last summer.
03. Streaming above is most recent solo effort, Time Crabs Dream of Electric Egg Ships. Though not to be overlooked is newest effort AcidDavid, a titanic 36-minute live techno jam with fellow astronaut AcidFeen.
04. You can find them on a rare live outing at Community Skratch Games in Galway’s Bierhaus on April 15th and 16th. Ireland’s only live turntablism and skratch festival, no less.
Thoughts: Glitchy hip-hop at the wrong speed? Weird retro-futurist techno? You decide. The crab’s journey will likely wear on through the cosmos regardless.

Izzy will take us through her research on Tuam and other Mother and Baby homes around Ireland tonight on a special show streamed live here and on our YouTube channel at 11.45..

The UN Committee on the Elimination of Discrimination against Women has published its latest findings on Ireland.
The Committee has urged “the State party” to, “within a specific timeframe” :
Amend article 41.2 of the Constitution in order to remove the stereotypical language on the role of women in the home;
Introduce legislative provisions that underline the obligation of the State to pursue actively the achievement of substantive equality between women and men; and
Amend article 40.3.33 of the Constitution (also known as the Eighth Amendment), which impedes the introduction of amendments to current legislation governing access to abortion…
…The Committee is particularly concerned that legislation which discriminates against women, or has a disproportionately negative impact on women, falls outside the scope of the Equal Status Acts 2000 – 2015.
The Committee recommends that the State party amends section 14 of the Equal Status Acts 2000-2015 to ensure that an effective remedy is available for discrimination that has a legislative basis.
There you go now.

A rare, curvaceous 1957 Jaguar XKSS .
In 1957, a fire at Jaguar’s Browns Lane plant in Coventry destroyed every unfinished XKSS chassis. This car was one of only sixteen to have been shipped before the fire.
Having won a series of races in Canada between 1957 and 1961, it was fully restored to Concours quality by its current owner, who acquired it in 1997.
Yours right now for a mere $16,000,000 (€15,000,000)
