The Nissan e-NV200 WORKSPACe, created in collaboration with UK design workshop Studio Hardie, is the world’s first electric-powered van/office.

Filled with space saving fold-away space and extendible sections, the van contains an integrated fold-out desk, touch-screen computer, wifi, Bluetooth audio, smartphone-controlled LED lights, a panoramic glass roof, a mini-fridge and a barista-level coffee maker. 

Half an hour at a roadside EV dock charges the whole unit to 80% capacity.

Thursday November 3: DJ Shadow, Mount Kimbie, Kormac live AV @ The Shelbourne Hall, RDS(€39.50)

Nialler9 writes:

There’s lots of good music on offer of an electronic, alternative and hip-hop nature at the second annual Metropolis festival (Moderat, Clams Casino, Jessy Lanza, Sugar Hill Gang, Grace Jones, Booka Shade) but the opening party’s standalone lineup is solid with DJ Shadow headlining with a set drawn from new album and Endtroducing remixes along with UK duo Mount Kimbie and Dublin’s own DJ Kormac doing his live A/V thing.

Tickets here.

Galway micro-indie label Rusted Rail‘s tenth anniversary happened back in March, and the label is now taking the time to archive its trove of releases on Bandcamp, among other events to mark the occasion.

Writes label boss Keith Wallace (aka Loner Deluxe):

To mark the 10th anniversary of Rusted Rail (it celebrated its first decade back in March) I’ve been populating the Rusted Rail Bandcamp pages with the digital versions of the back catalogue.

While the physical versions of Rusted Rail releases are and always will be available from the label’s website, this is the first time much of the label’s catalogue been available in a non-analogue format.

So far there are releases from So Cow, Loner Deluxe, Phantom Dog Beneath The Moon, Music For Dead Birds, Good Shepherd, Cubs, The Driftwood Manor, The Dovetail Consort and Phosphene on the Bandcamp page and I’ll be updating it weekly until petty much everything is on there.

It’s all part of the ongoing programme of looking back at 10 years of Rusted Rail, with production of a documentary covering the first decade of the label currently in production.

Sound.

Streaming above is an early label release, Best Vacation Ever, the first full-length from Galway lo-fi pop man So Cow.

Further to the Association of Garda Sergeants and Inspectors (AGSI) and the Garda Representative Association (GRA) planning a 24-hour withdrawal of services from 7am on Friday, and for such action to be repeated each Friday this month…

Irish Times reports:

Garda Commissioner Nóirín O’Sullivan is to issue an order later on Tuesday to all Garda members to turn up for work on Friday, when a mass withdrawal of service is planned.

In a move that will greatly increase tensions in the Garda pay dispute row, Commissioner O’Sullivan is ordering those whose shift falls on Friday to be present for work.

But she is also planning to cancel all rest days and all leave, meaning every member of the Garda will be ordered to be present at their posts and Garda stations on Friday.
