Barefoot Magicians – The Anthem

We should be dancing, yeah.

Dublin-based soul groove ensemble Barefoot Magicians (top) lighten the mood with a vivacious hip-swinging cover of American DJ GRiZ‘s hit.

Dave from the band writes:

“It’s full of positivity and i’m happy to duel with anyone who says it’s not. The dancer is Emphis, choreographed by her good self. Might put peeps in a good mood, then again it might not…”

Nick says: But our commenters are always in a good mood! (*gets coat*)

Tuam campaigner Breeda Murphy, adoptee and activist Eunan Duffy and lawyer Frank Brehany, whose father was a Tuam adoptee, discuss the possibly of a class action lawsuit against pharmaceutical companies who tested on children in clinical trials in Mother and Baby homes.

There were at least 13 vaccine trials carried out on more than 43,000 children, according to the Mother and Baby Homes Commission of Investigation. None of the mothers gave consent

And, as there was no follow up on the long-term health of those subjected to the trials, the commission was allowed to state:

“There is no evidence of injury to the children involved as a result of the vaccines.”

This is the 15th in a series of shows with Breeda, Eunan and Frank looking at all aspects of the Mother and Baby Home Commission of Investigation report. They can be viewed here.

Behold: the 1988 Lamborghini Countach 5000 Quattrovalvole – designed by Marcello Gandini, it entered production in 1974 and spent the next two decades adorning the bedroom walls of teenage motorheads worldwide.

This American export, presented in the classic Nero over beige leather livery with gold wheels and accents, massive rear wing and flared fenders, is in immaculate condition and has even been divested of its line-wrecking US-spec bumpers.

Yours for $385,000 (€331,500) if you’re passing through Cleveland Ohio.
