Predictive programming by the Machine?
Doug Whelan, keyholder of the Broadsheet Trailer Park writes:
Spotted this guy (top) @1.04 in Rage Against the Machine’s video for ‘Sleep Now in the Fire’, directed by Michael Moore in 1999.
The video was shot in public on Wall Street, so it’s not clear whether he’s a plant, or a randomer they caught on camera. Either way, remarkable bit of prescience…
Bodger must never see this.

One of the 80s’ biggest teen idols, Jason Donovan is set to join Ryan Tubridy on The Late Late Show on RTÉ One this Friday.The Neighbours heartthrob will join Ryan to chat about achieving international fame on the soap and as a very successful popstar….
…Dermot Bannon will be telling viewers why he supported the recent occupation of Apollo House and why he believes vulture funds shouldn’t be allowed (to) own private homes…
The last time Eamonn Holmes visited the Late Late he was about to undergo a major double hip operation. What followed was one of the toughest years of his life as he recovered from the surgery and left Sky News after 11 years. Eamonn is popping in for a catch up and he’ll be joined by his wife and This Morning co-presenter Ruth Langsford…

How much?
Just a rise of 122 Euros on the average monthly rent of 1,478 Euros.
Thud.
From the eighth issue of the Dublin Economic Monitor , a joint initiative of the four Dublin local authorities. It tracks 15 key economic indicators using data from “the height of the boom to the economic crash and the subsequent recovery”.
Meanwhile…
Nice recovery.
Make a…date.

Elk – pop/hardcore/punk from Cork
What you may need to know…
01. Returning from a prolonged hiatus are Leeside live faves of the mid-late aughts, pop/heft outfit Elk.
02. Releasing debut album We Should Start Our Own Gang in early 2009, the lads went quiet shortly thereafter, re-emerging live periodically, including for the launch of a split 7″ single with Crayonsmith in 2011. It’s been a busy few years, with the boys keeping the fires burning in, offhand, No Spill Blood, Hands Up Who Wants to Die, All Tvvins and Guilty Optics.
03. That long-player of theirs is streaming above, and available for free download via Bandcamp.
04. Elk return on Saturday night at Tivoli Backstage in Dublin, supporting GUILTY OPTICS alongside Ten Past Seven. Ridiculous lineup.
Thoughts: Straightforward pop lurches into dreamy sounds, lurches back out into heft and distortion. Something for everyone, and a welcome return.
A new installment of Cinefix’s 8-bit Cinema with minor spoilers that will be of little consequence to anyone who’s already waited this long to see the film.
