A really very daycent and deftly put together pixelated tribute to the Simpsons’ opening sequence [complete with extended couch reveal] which could so easily be an actual Simpsons opening sequence, but isn’t.

Directed and animated by Paul Robertson and Ivan Dixon with music by Jeremy Dower.

Or not right wing enough?

Liam Geraghty, of the rather good Media Show, writes:

Deputy managing editor of the Independent (London) Will Gore on the dilemma of reporting ISIS propaganda, Love/Hate composer Ray Harman’s radio essay on creating music for film and a report on JNLR Radio Wars featuring RTÉ Group Commercial Director Willie O’Reilly, FM104’s CEO Margaret Nelson, Chief Exceutive of Galway Bay fm and Kate Shanahan – DIT Head of Journalism.

FIGHT!
