Does anybody from Dublin remember Light A Big Fire? Used to go to the Baggot Inn at least once a month for their regular Tuesday night show. Really good band who released a cracking EP in ‘Gunpowders’ and got a […]

I’ve seen the second one in action a few times back in the early eighties. Friend of mine used to phone his girlfriend from a public box using that system. There’s a knack.

As Tim said, the Lodger podcast was very good. Lots of interesting takes on an interesting album and time in Bowie’s career. More please, Badger!

I usually skip the first 15-20 mins, but there have been some good ones lately – a repeat of an older interview with Robin Williams was very moving (even without subsequent events) and the one with David Harbour […]

I’ll buy it too, but as a puritan I’ll be getting the paperback version. Loved the first two – I haven’t read anything decent in the past 12 months or so, mostly my laziness – maybe DB will get me back into the […]

A couple of years ago, a week after my mother’s funeral I was driving back to Clare alone after spending a day going through her things in her flat in Dublin. Listening to John Creedon on RTE radio. He played a […]

Max the Dog commented on the post, Let’s Ban Bottled Water 2 months, 2 weeks ago
A small levy was introduced in Ireland – 2002 I think – a charge for using plastic bags in supermarkets. We all immediately moved to ‘bags-for-life’ or re-using bags from last week’s shopping. Even when we know […]

Our kids go through a lot of water and we have a small small dispenser from our local spring water company – the type you might see in an office. It holds an 11 litre heavy-duty plastic bottle. We use regular […]

Great review, Twang. Isn’t it wonderful that we can be so enthusiastic about music? I’ll get it – my first RT since ‘Sweet Warrior’.

Nice review, Bargepole. I don’t usually go for these reinterpretation albums – didn’t buy Kate or Joni (I think LWIII did one as well), but I might go for this one. Always loved ‘How the heart…’ and because, […]
