Awkward self portraits by San Francisco based artist Lee Materazzi, who should probably get out more.
It’s no longer daring or odd,
To refuse to believe in a god.
Though I get quite irate,
Reading online debate,
Both sides sound like peas in a pod

Black Bank Folk – “Brother”
A harmonious ‘not a rebel’ song by John Colbert & Jimmy Sheeran [Black Bank Folk] about the bond between Padraig Pearse and his younger brother Willie.
Coddle writes:
We are a newly launched Dublin based features website called Coddle.ie. Our first main feature involves Dublin band Black Bank Folk and their song Brother. which tells the tale of the two Pearse brothers, Padraig and Willie, and their involvement in the 1916 rising. We filmed the band performing in Saint Anne’s Park [Raheny, Dublin] a couple of weeks ago (above) and we have included some background to the song on the site. We think it is a great song that tells an incredible story and is well worth a look.

What you may need to know.
1. All right, the show’s been hit and miss of late, but Matt Smith is still a GREAT Doctor Who, and you do get the odd gem, like last year’s Neil Gaiman episode.
2. The first episode of the new season is entitled Asylum Of The Daleks.
3. This year each episode is self-contained: no two-parters, no confusing story arcs. We like it.
4. Also, they’re FINALLY getting rid of annoying couple Rory & Amy. For good, this time.
5. Don’t worry, The Doctor’s already sorted for a new assistant. She used to be in Emmerdale.
6. The new series features everybody from Mark ‘Fast Show’ Williams and Diana Rigg to Stephen Berkoff and Dublin’s very own Liam Cunningham. Plus Weeping Angels!
7. 2013 is the 50th anniversary of Doctor Who. We’re excited. They had better get Eccleston and Tennant back, for starters.
Broadcast Date: From August 25 (US August 27)
Oh.
Thanks Philip Ellis
