Reflection

To a poet
Each poem they write
Is a masterpiece

To a politician
Each speech they write
Is a cover up of inadequacy

Please share even if you can't go. It's not a profit making exercise, I just want to cover the costs for the room (I know that sound pathetic, but it's the sorry state of the music biz nowadays)

If 40% of your income is tax, and your mortgage is 2k per month; The first 40,000 of your gross anual income goes on your house.

The median Irish income is 60,000.

You'd think the government would invest in matchmaking if they are so confident with the figures ...

It's World Book Day!

I'd love to crowdfund a copy of 1984 for every member of the Oireachtas

I Wandered Lonely as a Poem

I wandered lonely as a poem
That floats on high o'er page and notes,
When all at once I saw a gnome,
A host, from golden John-o-Groats;
Beside the lake, beneath the trees,
Fluttering and dancing, and doing pees.

Continuous as the stars that shine
And twinkle on the dewey grass,
They stretched in never-ending line
Along the margin of the gnome’s ass:
Ten thousand gnomes saw I at a glance,
Tossing their heads in sprightly dance.

The waves beside them danced; but they
Out-did the sparkling waves in glee:
A poet could not but be gay,
In such a jocund company:
I gazedβ€”and gazedβ€”but little thought
To see what an army of gnomes had brought:

For oft, when on my couch I lie
In vacant or in pensive mood,
They flash upon that inward eye
Which is the bliss of solitude;
And then my heart with fear does drop,
A multitude of gnomes, plop, plop. Plop, plop.

I could create excellent content like a critical appraisal of a chocolate bar but instead, I'll keep posting my music in the hope that someone raises above the inane and watches/listens

While I agree in sentiment - I don't think its the place of a foreign rage baiter to blame Catherine for this

Rock Bottom

But I’ll bet a thousand euros
James Browne
The Minister for Housing
Has never slept rough on the streets of Dublin

I wonder what odds Paddy Power are giving

How did this get overlooked in the Irish music industry?

Easy! The industry is bottom feeding...
