Mashed, what produced this, writes:
Do you remember that 90’s sitcom about a shark that was also a sofa?
Of course we do. Why do they never show repeats of that?

3. I Used to Live Here picked up the Audience Award for Best Feature at last years’ Galway Film Fleadh.

Zimbabwe’s President Robert Mugabe
A charming old fellow called Bob,
Has spent many years in his job,
So his country will make,
A rich tasting cake,
For Mugabe to stuff down his gob.

Bono and Noel Gallagher
“I don’t like reading interviews with people and they explain their songs to you line by line. For instance, I was hanging out with our dear friend Bono in the summer, and he was playing me the U2 album before it came out. With him being a lyricist and a singer, he will explain to you what every fucking sentence is about.
“I said to him, ‘Don’t tell me what it’s about. I’ll tell you what it’s about when it’s finished.’ He was like, ‘Ohhh yeah, man.’ It’s like when I first heard Martha, My Dear on the White album, and then I found out he had a dog called Martha. It fucking ruined it, d’ya know what I mean? It’s about a dog? Fuck off! I don’t wanna hear that.”

Good times.

A promo for the Irish music industry by the Irish Music Rights Organistation (IMRO)
They say:
Based on sectoral analysis, the survey [by the Socio Economic Opportunities of Developing Ireland’s Music Industry] found that the Irish music industry contributes over €470 million to the economy and supports more than 11,510 jobs in Ireland – 9,030 direct, 2,480 indirect. In addition, while digital sales in Ireland have grown significantly, latest figures show that in the four years to 2012, recorded music sales fell by almost €40 million from €72 million to €33 million per annum….
But how many in digital sales anyone?
