Finnian – Where We Go
If you’re looking for that peaceful easy feeling of lazy midsummer then the second single from Dundalk singer/songwriter Finnian is a good place to start.
Recalling the chilled 70s vibes of Bread, Where We Go is from his forthcoming album Under The Influence.
The video is a nicely shot freewheeling evocation of the promise of romance.

Two adult brown bears (Ursus arctos) face off in a forest at Kuhmo in Finland.
Violent but bloodless and – fair play to both parties – they know when to leave it.
Honour is preserved.
Behold NGC 1566 – also known as ‘The Spanish Dancer Spiral Galaxy’. To wit:
An island universe containing billions of stars and situated about 40 million light-years away toward the constellation of the Dolphinfish (Dorado), NGC 1566 presents a gorgeous face-on view. Classified as a grand design spiral, NGC 1566’s shows two prominent and graceful spiral arms that are traced by bright blue star clusters and dark cosmic dust lanes. Numerous Hubble Space Telescope images of NGC 1566 have been taken to study star formation, supernovas, and the spiral’s unusually active centre. Some of these images, stored online in the Hubble Legacy Archive, were freely downloaded, combined, and digitally processed by an industrious amateur to create the featured image. NGC 1566’s flaring centre makes the spiral one of the closest and brightest Seyfert galaxies, likely housing a central supermassive black hole wreaking havoc on surrounding stars and gas.
