Other Voices returns for its 14th series on RTÉ2.
Fergus McCormack writes:
This year, Annie Mac (BBC Radio 1) and Fight Like Apes’ lead singer May Kay (Mary Kate Geraghty) will join music aficionado Huw Stephens (BBC Radio 1) on presenting duties.
Grammy nominee Glen Hansard will make a welcome return to the show and for the first time Mercury Prize nominee Gaz Coombes (Supergrass) will take to the stage in St. James’ Church [Dingle, Co kerry].
The new series also features a performance from the ever elusive Keaton Henson and Minnesota based slow-core innovators Low. Also from the US, Shakey Graves will take to the stage and a spellbinding performance from the wonderful Ane Brun is one not to be missed
As always, the IMRO Other Room will showcase five promising artists on the rise – Talos, HAWK, Bitch Falcon, Gavin Glass and Saint Sister. Viewer’s Choice Saramai will feature in an Other Voices Other Room special later in the year…
Other Voices on RTÉ2 at 11.15pm (series runs for five weeks)

Lost In IKEA

Long shot, but if you could appeal to readers, if they know any folk who were in IKEA [St Margaret’s Rd, Ballymun, Dublin 11] between 7.15–8.15 last night who may have happened to find some art prints, a photo and some gift cards could they let me know.
We don’t care about the vouchers, but the prints have a lot of sentimental value and similar to one of these by Esther Breslin. I’ve contacted the artist too just in case. One of the pictures is of a cat flushing itself down a toilet.
Anyone?
The State’s commemorative €2 coin to mark the centenary of the 1916 Easter Rising.
Designed by Emmet Mullins who sez:
“The coin features a depiction of the statue of Hibernia on top of the GPO where she has witnessed the events of 1916 and watched the growth of a nation since the Rising”…
Coin in its own presentation case yours for a greasy till fumbling €15.
RISE!

You may already be familiar with the productivity sapping Google Maps Streetview Player.
Input any two locations. Allow a little load time, then watch a timelapse-style journey (composed of stapled-together Streetview images) from one location to the other.
And that’s the rest of the afternoon sorted.
