A sci-fi horror short by Ruari Robinson about Dr Zoidberg-looking monsters living among us, inspired by the current state of the modern world. To wit:
After being phased out of his job, a dangerously unstable man’s life spirals out of control when the prescription pills he takes start to have a side effect: they allow him to see the parasitic beings that have long been puppeteering our world from the shadows.
See? You were right all along.
Bodger’s already pungently whiffy wi-fi has finally ceased to be.
To the internet café.
Back in before you know it.

Good lines times.
Again.
This afternoon.

They must really like each other.
Or we’re completely screwed.
Or both.
The Atrix – Teasure On The Wasteland
Like a phoenix from the embers of Dublin’s fabled post-punk new wave scene, The Atrix have risen.
Tonight a reconfigured line-up featuring two members of the original band (Hugh Friel now sings in place of the late John Borrowman) as well as Horslips‘ Jim Lockhart on keyboards plays The Sugar Club, Dublin 2, where they will launch a new retrospective album of their finest songs.
With perfect timing, a new video for the band’s seminal 1980 (Midge Ure-produced) hit Treasure On The Wasteland (above) has just been uploaded to YouTube directed by Alex Bradley of Guns And Butter.
It’s a visually stunning piece of work that does justice to the pioneering spirit of the group when they were in their pomp.
If you want to read a definitive in-depth feature on the history and legacy of The Atrix then check out John Fleming’s piece in the Irish Times here.
Nick says: Hidden Treasure gleams the brightest.
Stop that.

What a wonderful map of Ireland/Hibernia from 1567!
It was made by John Goghe with additions by Sir William Cecil.
I love the ships and sea monsters!
