Behold: the Aviatore Veloce Turbojet 100 coffee maker – a sculptural, aviation-grade aluminium alloy, stainless steel and bronze, single serving, high pressure brewing system that’s apparently very easy to operate despite its daunting appearance.
It’s also something of a collector’s item as only 100 will be made. Price on application.
Demeter – black metal from Cork veterans
What you may need to know…
01. Bleak yet subtly atmospheric black metal is the modus operandi for Cork four-piece Demeter.
02. Comprised of veterans of Irish metal and hardcore, including members of Kawtiks, Soothsayer, Dominus, Slugbait, Hope is Noise and one-man project Molde, the band have more than enough miles behind them.
03. Streaming above is the band’s first demo, Blight, available now for free download from their Bandcamp.
04. Catch them tonight in Cork at Fredz, supporting for Soothsayer, and on the 25th of February at the Urban Assault all-dayer, confirmed for An Spailpín Fánach on Cork’s North Mall.
Verdict: Raw and unremittant black metal with a quietly melodic sensibility, alternating between barebones riffing and blast-laden noise.
Whistleblower: 4,000 tons fish discarded dead because wrong size. Multiply that by 10 trips x 20 boats x 20 years. 16M tons #Atlantic

Give a man a fish he’ll eat for a day. Teach an irish man to fish he’ll get convicted for having a net that might catch a salmon #Atlantic

Reaction last night’s broadcast on RTÉ One of Atlantic, an Irish-made documentary charting the politics of resource management in the North Atlantic – from the perspectives of three different fishing communities in Norway, Newfoundland and Ireland.

I am living ‘abroad’ so I can’t watch Atlantic on the RTÉ Player. What gives?
