While this and possibly other dimensions await the imminent release of Season 3 of Justin Roiland’s Adult Swim masterpiece Rick And Morty, enjoy this ‘fanimation’ (originally shown in animatic form at San Diego ComiCon) by tiarawhy, based on an actual, foul-mouthed, fully transcribed exchange that took place between Judge Bryant Durham and defendant Denver Allen at Georgia Superior Court last June. To wit:

Judge Morty’s life changes forever when he meets an inmate like no other.

LUX – release new single Blank Page

What you may need to know…

01. On the outer reaches of the Cork scene (Youghal, to be precise) lies electronic duo LUX.

02. Comprised of producer Claire Regan (f.k.a. Spill and Ambience) and vocalist Colin Lee, the duo specialise in synthpop that marries the eighties’ more downbeat sensibilities with ambient & classical leanings.

03. Slowly developing a body of work over the last three years, the duo began with a pair of singles, Warmsad and Vital Signs, before setting about limited live engagements around Cork city and county and releasing follow-up single Solace last year.

04. Streaming above is new single Blank Page. A video is enroute and another new tune on the way shortly, according to the band.

Verdict: Informed by the past without resorting to nostalgia, and possessed of a lingering melancholia, Lux’s music moves in ebbs and flows.

The art of 29 year old Italian boxer and painter Omar Hassan, who stretches his canvases over cardboard to prevent them tearing as he pounds them with paint-dipped boxing gloves. The ‘paintings’ – part of a series he calls ‘Breaking Through Milano’ – sell for between €8,000 and €40,000 apiece, which he calls “a great satisfaction, but not the goal”.

The Lingo spoken word festival is back!

Includes: Moynes!

Kalle writes:

Yesterday saw the launch of our official programme for LINGO, Ireland’s first and only spoken word festival, and we’re super proud of it. Spoken word is all about having a voice, so for this, the third year of LINGO, we decided to ask: What are we using it for?

How can we really amplify voices calling for change? So, we’re showcasing some of the most interesting and inspirational voices from Ireland and overseas to do just that.

From American indie-hop legend Sage Francis and Palestinian poet Rafeef Ziadah, to an evening of craic and conversation about art & social change hosted by Blindboy Boatclub (Rubberbandits) with Panti Bliss, Tara Flynn and female muslim hip-hop act Poetic Pilgrimage.

There’s also a bundle of free events for young and old, with open mics, an epic poetry slam, world premieres of new work, and yer man who writes the limericks at broadsheet.ie. In other words, we reckon we have something for everyone!.
