Brought to you by siblings Cormac, Catriona and Colm Barry, trakAx MovieExpress is an impressively fully featured video mixer.

The app scans your device for photos, music and video and lets you edit and mix them together before exporting out as a whole new video.

I did find some of the controls were a bit fiddly to use on my Samsung S3 but I’m sure that’s not a problem on larger screened devices.

It’s available for €4 on the Google Play Store, which seems to me to be extremely cheap for what you get. There’s a free version in the pipeline with a somewhat reduced feature set.

If the idea of a breathy plea for multi-person, nether-hair contact doesn’t completely put you off your lunch.

The Late David Turpin – Fur

Directed by Turpin (and photographer Mark Duggan), starring actress Julie Shanley and inspired by Derek Jarman and Jean Cocteau, and shot in BelloBar (formerly The Lower Deck).

David sez:

Because we live in a pornographic society, hair – like all the realities of the body – is something we seem to either fetishise or attempt to eradicate altogether. Yet we’re all mammals, aren’t we? And whether it’s invisible down or black fuzz that extends across the back and shoulders, we are all covered in hair.”

Invisible down and back pubes?

Filthy beggar.

Joanne O’Sullivan writes:

Dublin Zoo is delighted to announce the birth of a female white crowned mangabey. The baby, born on November 11, is the latest arrival at the Zoo and weighs a healthy 400 grams. The yet-to-be named infant is the third infant born to Tema and Danso. With a strong relationship between mother and infant the new arrival is settling in well.

Name anyone?

“After last week’s high-concept cover I decided to take a simpler approach and this week Le Cool is gift-wrapped in a 2-colour linocut repeat pattern. I hope I’ve managed to be festive while avoiding Christmas clichés.”
