John Blek – Cormorant

And your bird can sing.

Prolific Cork songsmith John Blek (top) enchants with the latest single from his new album On Ether & Air, due next month.

The song features guitarist Kris Drever from the Scottish band Lau.

John writes:

“Chance encounters and some fortunate timing led to me being able to work with some of my favourite musicians. Getting people with such unique playing styles involved went a long way in defining the sound of On Ether & Air and creating an album of which I am immensely proud.”

The evocative vintage-style video for ‘Cormorant’ was filmed and directed by Blek himself using Super 8mm footage he filmed around the Port of Cork and his own garden, which was then edited and projected onto the faces of John and his wife Ciara.

You can catch John live at: 10th September, The American Bar, Belfast; Fri 8th October, Cleere’s Theatre, Kilkenny; Sun 10th Oct, Spirit Store, Dundalk; Sat 16th Oct, Triskel Arts Centre, Cork; Sun 17th Oct, Workman’s Club, Dublin; and Sat 23rd October, The Black Gate, Galway.

Nick says: One day I’m going to soar.

The number of young smokers in the UK rose by a quarter in the first lockdown, a study shows

In a lockdown with no end in sight
More people people were tempted to light
Up and smoke a fag
When there’s no one to nag
Them and point out that frankly they’re shite

Ciarán – Crazy House Prices tweetz:

€1,200 per month for this. You’d get more space in a prison cell. What do you do if you have notions though and want to actually own some clothing? Or belongings? But sure you can hardly expect those luxuries for only €1,200 per month….

In fairness.

Behold: the BMW R1250 R ‘Reimagined’ – another custom take on Motorrad’s most customisable bike – in this case, a slammed and stanced rebuild by Renard Speed Shop.

To wit: a handmade aluminium body with a massive belly-pan, a precision-machined single billet front grille, a bobber style seat with integrated tail light and a titanium Akrapovič race exhaust system taken from a Ducati Panigale Superleggera.

Again, only for looking at.
