Every kind of sound imaginable.

The music video for Never Again by Australian musician Tommy Spender, who sez:

I made this film clip with a great photographer friend of mine and it took two takes. That means I had to eat TWO CAKES. I ended up eating so much confetti and glitter that I had a glittery poo the next day. But it was all worth it as backwards eating really can end up looking quite beautiful. Thankfully the clip was not about the glittery poo.

bono

The Frontman examines Bono’s role in Irish investments before the economic collapse; his paternalistic and often bullying advocacy of neoliberal solutions in Africa; his multinational business interests; and his hobnobbing with Paul Wolfowitz and shock-doctrine economist Jeffrey Sachs. Carefully dissecting the rhetoric and actions of Bono the political operator, The Frontman shows him to be an ambassador for imperial exploitation, a man who has turned his attention to a world of savage injustice, inequality and exploitation—and helped make it worse.

Probably spilling all over their laps. Toast crumbs everywhere. What are we paying our road tax for?

Perishing rockers.

Aidan sez:

Coast to Coast: Tea and Toast. Our cross country charity promotional event pairs promoting Irish bands with raising money for Down Syndrome Ireland culminating with a finale gig in Whelan’s Dublin on March 30th 2013.

And the tay?

Team Goldenplec crosses the country, Coast to Coast from Dublin to Galway on Good Friday 29th March meeting a band in every county we pass through for a cup of tay, a slice of toast and a one song gig recorded on mobile phones.

Ah.

Tickets for the Whelan’s gig are €10 and a “very decent” headline act is promised.

Oh, go on then.

*slurp*
