Why Bernard Shaw folks were unable to renew their lease in one photo. Areas in green are already being developed/completed. Purple is planned for demolition/development. Red was last week sold by Dublin City Counci to a developer. Blue is the Bernard Shaw land….
Last week, with a PAIR of free tickets to see Stars – one of the best Canadian indie bands of their generation – perform their stunning 2004 masterpiece Set Yourself On Fire in Dublin’s Workmans Club on Friday September 27 on offer, I asked YOU to name your favourite piece of music referencing stars.
You answered in your tens.
But there could be only one winner.
Third Place:
The Church – Under The Milky Way

If you’re gonna reference stars, why not go all out, and reference the whole Milky Way!

Yeah, I know – but no matter: that’s as good as pop gets…
Winner:
Don McLean – Starry Starry Night.

You people are crazy, it’s Starry Starry Night. Apart from being fantastic lyrically and musically you could very easily draw a line from Don’s singing in this song directly to Torquil (of Stars) singing on Set Yourself on Fire (you’d have to make a brief stop-off at Morrissey considering the blatantly Morrissey-equee track Take Me To The Riots….on 2007’s In Our Bedroom After The War) I refuse to believe this album (Set Yourself On Fire) came out in 2004.
Today Green Day, Fall Out Boy, and Weezer, three of the biggest acts in rock music, announced they will be heading out on the road together for the first time ever on THE HELLA MEGA TOUR presented by Harley-Davidson.
To celebrate the tour reveal, all three bands will perform a historic show tonight at the legendary Whisky A Go Go in Los Angeles….

Shay Connolly – The Five In A Row Is What We’re After
‘Cluxton gets the ball and taps on his toe,
Gives out to Cooper and away he’s goes,
Gives it on to Fenton right on the nose,
Fenton gets fouled but the ref doesn’t blow
He sees Johnny Small sneaking up on the right
Johnny sticks it o’er the bar to every Dubs delight’

How ya doing folks, above is song I wrote (re: Dublin football team). Don’t know if you do this type of thing but just thought I’d send on for the craic in the hope that it might peak an interest among your readers for Saturday’s All Ireland Football replay…
FIGHT!
