Liza Flume – What We Called Love

Dublin based Australian musician Liza Flume released her first music video (above) yesterday. You might recognise the location from Heathers’ Forget Me Knots video. For fans of Lisa Hannigan, Lisa Mitchell, people called Lisa etc.Video is by me.

Minister for Communications Pat Rabbitte has attacked media coverage of politics, criticising it for “all-pervasive negativity” and for refusing to “give a damn” about the consequences of its reporting.
In an interview with The Irish Times he suggested that relentless denigration of politics had adverse effects on society.

“You are dealing with a very cranky media who advocate tough decision-making and when they get tough decisions they start piddling around at the edges trying to unravel it.

“There is an all-pervasive negativity in the media that is not helping the mood of a people that is in distress and difficulty. I don’t think the media give a damn about where this is going to bring politics. It is worthy of some thought of where the constant denigration of politics is going to bring us,” he said.

Oh, be nice.

I used to live in Ireland and miss it tons. I work on coral reefs now and maybe I’ve been doing too much image processing but this rock (~30m deep in the Gulf of Mexico) kind of looked like Ireland to me. Sorry for the low quality!
