If you have to go out on Paddy’s Day you may as well end up enjoying what’s good about Ireland. This lineup of homegrown dance and electronic acts represent the new wave of dancefloor-oriented live acts happening here with Le Galaxie leading the charge with fists full of glowsticks ready to banish the sensitive singer-songwriters out of Ireland.
Neon Skulls
at
Three glass skulls made by Portland artist Eric Franklin – lit from within by ionised neon (top two), neon/krypton (middle two) and neon/mercury (last two).
The skulls are made from carefully vacuum-sealed borosilicate glass tubes within which the ionised gases fluoresce when electrified.

atMichael Lowry suggested yesterday on @tippfm that the Sunday Independent won’t give him the tape. That’s a lie. He’s welcome to it.

Meanwhile, in The Irish Examiner
“Speaking on Tipp FM, the North Tipperary poll topper deflected perfectly legitimate questions about the payment by playing the victim card again. He suggested that the public should examine the motivation behind this campaign, ask who was organising it and why.”
“This is the kind of robust self-confidence that has helped Mr Lowry top the poll in North Tipperary at the last four general elections but at the end of the day it’s just empty bluster because the question remains as valid as it ever was despite the diversionary tirade.
A more appropriate — and pressing — question for public consideration might be why the people of North Tipperary seem so very loyal to a tax dodger whose political and business careers have been tainted with suspicion for nearly two decades.”

Some friends of mine, Tandem Felix, recently released this.. I’m reliably informed that the cereal involved is Crunchy Nut and the band includes some of the same musicians involved in the previously featured Trinity Orchestra & Nova Collective.

Can you smell the justice? Wait. That’s not justice.
