If riff-grinding, thunderously-melodic, Dublin-made songs about controversial road users are your ‘thing’.

Hey, us too.

Liz is Evil – White Van Man.

It changes gears unexpectedly.

Damn van man hating hipsters.

Liz Is Evil

Class-conscious nuns.

They literally knew their place.

Sheila M writes:

I’ve just spent the afternoon with my parents walking around their old haunts in Dublin. My mum, who trained as a nurse in St Vincent’s in the Sixties showed me where two old ballrooms used to be – The National (above) on Parnell Square and Barry’s Hotel (top) on Denmark Street Great/Gardiner Row.

She said the nuns wouldn’t let the student nurses go there cause it was where “the maids” went .

She also told me the student nurses used to have to wear special stockings (a certain shade, etc.), which they had to buy from the Magdalene Laundry in Stanhope Street. The same stockings were cheaper in Dunnes But they had to buy them from the Magdalenes. The nuns would know by the seams. Good times.

“Left. Not right. LEFT!”

Spooky and gnarly.

Project Genesis, directed by Milan-based filmmaker Alessio Fava – a slightly hatstand stop-motion sci-fi short in which a world populated by vintage Macintosh computers  is thrown into chaos with the launch of HUMAN – a shiny new product designed to enhance their lives.

You see what he’s done there.
