Is he wearing the condom to provide protection???
May 30th, 2008 at 11:19 am
Or is it a tinfoil helmet, to deflect the negativity of all his non-supporters.
May 30th, 2008 at 11:27 am
My first thought was ‘who is the Dundrum mentaller?’
May 30th, 2008 at 11:28 am
just a Chesney Hawkes wannabe…
May 30th, 2008 at 11:30 am
I onece knew a guy who looked quite like Chesney Hawkes, and no one let him forget it.
I got him rapid once, he was ranting about something and said ‘I’m a man, Goddammit!’
‘I know,’ I responded soothingly, ‘Not a boy’.
Heh heh heh.
May 30th, 2008 at 11:54 am
Jim Corr is dead right. I’ve been reading about this for a few years. Still, Jim Corr?? Wowm didn’t see that coming.
May 30th, 2008 at 11:57 am
“…I got off the road, I had free time on my hands…”
Yeah Jim, a little too much free time.
May 30th, 2008 at 12:11 pm
God love him, if you’d a Christmas Pudding for a brain you’d be a mentaller too.
Can’t see even Brian getting annoyed over us slagging this.

Subject: Fox News Coverage of Lisbon Treaty
Hi Matt
I tuned in yesterday and I thought I was listening to the Irish version of Fox News. Talk about bias.
Vincent Brown – slated the treaty
Lady from Clear Ink – slated the treaty
Jim Corr – slated the treaty
Not one person to counter.
That’s great fair coverage Matt.
Today FM; the new Fox News; one sided biased tripe.
Tune out.
Hi
Balance is being provided over the duration of the referendum campaign. We have been accused by people on the no side of giving supporters of the treaty unopposed air time as well. Peter Sutherland, for example, got 10 minutes on his own one evening and he is as strongly in favour of a yes vote as you could imagine. There are other examples too.
Thanks, Matt
May 30th, 2008 at 12:17 pm
[...] Posted over on Mulley.net this morning, make sure you listen. Jim Corr; Bat Shit Crazy. Twenty has a good pic up. [...]
May 30th, 2008 at 12:21 pm
Superb interview. He struggled a bit with the Soviet Union. Bit disappointed that there is no mention of the lizards.
“I’m leaving myself open to ridicule”
Surely not ?
We should buy him a turquoise shell suit.
May 30th, 2008 at 12:24 pm
Ok, maybe I am being a little hard on Jim. In fairness, he has done some research, and there is a lot of shadowy new-world order type arrangements in place already.
I mean any gobshite can come on the radio and pronounce their belief in a “god” and we don’t ridicule them for the idiots that they are. These “believers” have no proof (Just Faith man…) and yet we let them babble on about heaven and that crap with little or no shouts of “Are you serious you fucking muppet”
So crazy as Jim might be, fair play to him for at least trying to provide a few facts to back it up, unlike say, any organised monotheistic religion for example.
May 30th, 2008 at 12:36 pm
So his summary of the new world order is that it boils down to a bunch of “control freaks” who want to take over?
What a fucking nutter. He’s on par with Tom Cruise’s expertise in psychiatry.
May 30th, 2008 at 12:40 pm
I agree with every single word he says, but he can fuck off if he thinks I’m buying his poxy albums.
May 30th, 2008 at 12:46 pm
I think he’s taken Eric Ludlum’s novels too seriously.
May 30th, 2008 at 12:49 pm
There’s far crazier people in the music industry though.

Jim Coor has been years trying to surpress the urge to try and shag his sisters. He has finally cracked up. Poor man
May 30th, 2008 at 1:30 pm
Yeah but he’s mostly right. And he has done his research.
Do you think that the power hungry are going to send Sideshow Bob to announce their intentions with an evil laugh / backlighting global TV moment?
May 30th, 2008 at 2:09 pm
Gone quiet, hasn’t it? And quite a few people have been missing from the site for a few days ….
Now I am afraid (I am petrified)…
What if he’s right?
Well, the first thing that would mean is that Dick Roche is part of a conspiracy to have the EU/US take over the world, which is fine, coz he’s bound to fuck it up.
May 30th, 2008 at 2:37 pm
Sigh. Some people go on holiday
May 30th, 2008 at 2:45 pm
Not I for I am a loser
May 30th, 2008 at 2:47 pm
Me too. A poverty stricken, friendless loser.
May 30th, 2008 at 2:47 pm
How can I persuade you two to come to a Juice gig some night?
May 30th, 2008 at 2:49 pm
Play in the City or on the Northside.
Muff can do an acoustic support, if you like.
May 30th, 2008 at 2:51 pm
Play in the City or on the Southside.
Unless you weren’t actually talking to me there and you think Super and Grover are two different people.
May 30th, 2008 at 2:53 pm
We’ve kind of walked into this, SG – they’re in Eamon Dorans (wherever that is) next Friday.
May 30th, 2008 at 2:55 pm
Well, Tinman, is Dunlaoighre Southside too much? Sadly you’ve already told Mrs Tinman my best joke, so I might have nothing left to offer to the conversation :)
There will be gigs both southside and City but nothing northside just yet SG – unless you ahve contacts? And as for support, well, that’s not really my remit, but get in touch through myspace, and why not?
Muff… :)
May 30th, 2008 at 2:58 pm
This could be a trap to get the only ones left on the site together at the same time ….
May 30th, 2008 at 2:58 pm
Seriously? It’s on Crown Alley, used to be the Rock Garden, and is still the same – but that’s only going to be a forty minute slot, there are other bands on who I can’t vouch for.
May 30th, 2008 at 3:00 pm
Heh
May 30th, 2008 at 3:01 pm
Jo – Dun Laoghaire is way, way too far south
May 30th, 2008 at 3:02 pm
Are you going to it? I work in the City Centre, & normally go for a drink after work on Fridays anyway.
You too SG, I don’t want to appear as if I’m propositioning Jo here …
(she’s seen the size of Morgor’s cannon, so I know I’m out of my league)
May 30th, 2008 at 3:05 pm
Lol.
Em, babysitting is always an issue, but I hope to. I haven’t been out for a while.
May 30th, 2008 at 3:11 pm
Next Friday, going to a gig in JJ Smyth’s in Aungier St.
May 30th, 2008 at 3:12 pm
Ah Jaysus, Jo, you mean you wouldn’t even be there?
May 30th, 2008 at 3:13 pm
No, no, well I’d make sure I was if I thought you were going. I didn’t ask you to it, Tinman did!
May 30th, 2008 at 3:13 pm
What’s JJ Smyth’s?
May 30th, 2008 at 3:15 pm
Who are juice?
May 30th, 2008 at 3:15 pm
“I didn’t ask you to it, Tinman did!”
Feck you, so.
May 30th, 2008 at 3:15 pm
JJ’s is a pub. Music upstairs. Excellent venue. Old school.
May 30th, 2008 at 3:16 pm
Ah, now. No call for that.
My initial invitation was general not to a specific gig.
May 30th, 2008 at 3:16 pm
Not an old school, but oldskool
May 30th, 2008 at 3:17 pm
OK OK fair enough. I don’t take rejection well, is all.
May 30th, 2008 at 3:17 pm
Oh yeah, of course, it’s familiar now. It always looks a bit impenetrable.
May 30th, 2008 at 3:18 pm
Juice are Jothedada’s band, Peadar. She’s tried to get us to a gig before, but made the mistake of telling us the gig was to raise money for orphans or something, so none of us went.
She knows us better now.
May 30th, 2008 at 3:18 pm
Well don’t go finding it where it is not then. Tsk! Sensitive men!

I only noticed it was the daily mail now, first google link I clicked on done the job for me.
May 30th, 2008 at 3:22 pm
I’ll go on my own so, SG.
Mind you, if she kidnaps me & looks me in a cellar & spends the days reading Terry Pratchett and quoting Leonard Cohen lyrics at me, I’ll be on your head.
And I’ll be very grateful.
May 30th, 2008 at 3:23 pm
Are they any good?
Anyway don’t matter, they’d have to come down to the southeast before I’d go see them.
I’m not going to Dublin, there’s too many weirdos like MB and Morgor up there
May 30th, 2008 at 3:23 pm
B’d B’d, did you see the daily poll on that page?
“Do you think Britney is pregnant? Yes/No”
Two words – Muddera. God.
May 30th, 2008 at 3:25 pm
Sorry SG, I’ll be on your head should read it’ll be on your head.
This conversation is weird enough already.

May 30th, 2008 at 3:32 pm
Are you Grover (the cold face of bass)?
May 30th, 2008 at 3:32 pm
Hey Jo, maybe we should do a 2 band benefit for Gluasteain. We could maybe get him the care he so clearly needs.
Fred can sneak in the back door.
And Brian can call us names from the front row.
May 30th, 2008 at 3:32 pm
The very same
May 30th, 2008 at 3:33 pm
I’ll come too.
What about you Morgor?
May 30th, 2008 at 3:34 pm
Wow Jo, let’s go to the 40 minutes of your band & then go to watch him.
May 30th, 2008 at 3:35 pm
And then around to Fred’s for a light meal before Naillerz steals us a taxi home.
May 30th, 2008 at 3:35 pm
I’ll go to any gig where the band are dressed as wombles, or are actually wombles.
Wombles were the fore-runner to freegans (making good use of the things that we find, things that the everyday folk leave behind)
Wombles rock, or at least they did until that particular brand of glam-rock drowned in a pool of Suzi Quattro’s menstrual blood
May 30th, 2008 at 3:35 pm
everyone’s a winner
May 30th, 2008 at 3:37 pm
Are you ‘Grover – the cold face of bass’ in the same way that Kate Moss is the bony face of Rimmel?
Do you do drink ads?
May 30th, 2008 at 3:38 pm
Sigh, I should have gone on holiday today like everyone else seems to have, coz God knows I’ve done feck-all work this afternoon.
May 30th, 2008 at 3:46 pm
“JJ’s is a pub. Music upstairs. Excellent venue. Old school.”
Didn’t it used to be Charlies?
Have many a great memory playing there. Played there the night Gulf War 1 Broke out and we were introduced onto stage by a mate dressed as an Arabic Sheik.
May 30th, 2008 at 3:50 pm
if we all vote yes does that mean she’s pregnant?
May 30th, 2008 at 3:51 pm
Sounds like fun. But no, different venue. I remember Charlie well. Looked like Dennis Taylor but was a dodgy RA head. Good times, all the same. Betja MB remembers going to see Paranoid Visions in there.
May 30th, 2008 at 3:51 pm
It is indeed a sad day for anyone from Dundalk, this prick seems to have given up his day job and wants to become a mouthpiece for Sinn Fein.
Or else he is mad that Clinton shagged his sisters….(or probably tried to)
TO understand Neo-connism and the Jihadis see the BBC Docu “Power of Nightmares” its out there on the web riveting stuff.
May 30th, 2008 at 3:52 pm
Christ, I’m sitting here in a Pile of whinging children who nonetheless refuse to go to bed and I’ve got fuck all done all day.
Right, Tinman, I’ll see you there, but I’m not sure when – they’re headlining, so won’t be on til after ten (club after) and I don’t know who else is playing, they’re usually pretty young bands, though I’ve seen a few good ones.
May 30th, 2008 at 3:54 pm
Heh, Paranoid Visions
May 30th, 2008 at 3:58 pm
Is the collective noun for whingeing children a “pile”?
May 30th, 2008 at 4:00 pm
I think it’s a “grizzle”
May 30th, 2008 at 4:01 pm
Tinamn, mail me at infantasiablog.gmail.com and I can get your address and post you out some cheaper than on the door tickets…
May 30th, 2008 at 4:01 pm
or, in Austria, a “cellarful”.
May 30th, 2008 at 4:04 pm
aw, shit, too far…
May 30th, 2008 at 4:04 pm
SG – What does M.U.F.F. stand for – I can only come up with Manchester United Fist Fuckers – Am I right, hardly
May 30th, 2008 at 4:56 pm
That’s it alright
May 30th, 2008 at 5:14 pm
so, ehhhhh, rafter, yeah?
May 30th, 2008 at 5:27 pm
“Christ, I’m sitting here in a Pile of whinging children who nonetheless refuse to go to bed and I’ve got fuck all done all day.”
Jo, use my old 5th class teacher’s trick. He used to tell us all we had 10 mins sleep time so we all put the heads down sniggering while he put his feet up on the table and read the paper while smoking a fag. He was a grumpy old bastard but a lovely man who could barely contain his fondness for us, especially the messers.
May 30th, 2008 at 5:37 pm
Holemaster, did you go to school in a Roald Dahl story? :)
May 30th, 2008 at 6:13 pm
I wish, how cool would that have been. I suppose I did in my head.
May 30th, 2008 at 6:37 pm
A poverty stricken, friendless loser.
I’m your friend Jo! I’d babysit for you if it was practical, but I’m a bit far away and the moobs are underdeveloped ( think Kate Moss) and dry.
Britney Pregnant – wasn’t me! Honest! But the poor girl deserves some happiness.
May 30th, 2008 at 7:31 pm
Thansk for that, maggot!
Britney needs to go somewhere rural, with a little cottage, and cook, and look after her kids and be normal for a while.
My husband thought his ma should run a programme – The likes of Kurt Cobain could have saved themselves by coming to live in her spare room for a while, eat chips and beans, have a pint in the local. That sort of thing.
May 30th, 2008 at 7:34 pm
Fame and the attendant pampering is the most addictive ‘drug’ there is – look at Michael Jackson and all the rest. Naomi Campbell = looks Jail-bound
May 30th, 2008 at 9:18 pm
I don’t know – there are plenty of people who can’t handle it once they find it and are tormented by it and can’t find their way back. My husband always thinks htey jsut need to quit, go live on an island, grow potatoes,whatver. BEtter than self destructing.
Britney’s never had a normal life though, has she, having been made into a product at an early age. Presumably getting success and attention was what made her mother love her, she’ll never be able to escape that emotional expectation now.
There was a good article in the Irish times pointing out the similarities between Elvis and Britney’s lives – The South, fame, attention, junk food, weight fluctuation! A dark warning for Britney.
May 30th, 2008 at 10:40 pm
Elvis Costello turned out OK though
May 30th, 2008 at 10:50 pm
hee, so for you there’s Elvis, and Elvis Presley?
May 30th, 2008 at 10:51 pm
I like your list of musical leanings in the myspace muff site, SG. I can tick lots of those boxes. Violent Femmes, Live, ooooo!
May 30th, 2008 at 10:55 pm
Evening Jo.
Those kids asleep yet?
May 30th, 2008 at 11:56 pm
Next he’ll tell us that Bertie really is a lizard, just like the brit queen elizabeth and george bush.

Good ole Jimbo. I never spotted this world domination scenario. “Tiptoe Totaliatarism”. Say that after 14 pints. Jesus, I knew his sisters have spouted some shite over the years but Jimbo has surpassed it all. I bow to his wisdom, perception, research and Dundalk diction.
On reflection, I think (I know) that I would prefer to listen to Jim spouting this crap than listen to his shreiking anorexic sisters.
May 31st, 2008 at 12:34 pm
I was under Jim’s spell yesterday, until I found this guy;

I’ll stick with Lee Scratch Perry.
No, no…Mark E Smith.
Fuck! I need a Guru, to help me find my way. Someone who understands the way of the World. Someone who’s not afraid to speak up, to understand the big words, to right the wrongs, to write the songs,…..

Jim, can we go surfing now.

Lee Perry would make a fine guru in the absence of a viable alternative.
But is he really just a Jamaican Aidan Walsh?

a Jamaican Aidan Walsh – That’s hilarious!
I know Aidan well. There’s a good chance that we’ll meet him next Friday.
June 1st, 2008 at 11:24 pm
Oh fuck no
June 1st, 2008 at 11:29 pm
Missus has shagged off to bed. In vino snoozy, etc. On me swannee again. Ah well, Talkin’ Blues (best Wailers recordings? – Discuss) on the soundbox, glass of red, little bit of greenery on the side. Sweet.
June 1st, 2008 at 11:30 pm
Hang on, he’s not me mate or anything like that. I haven’t seen him in years.
I just thought he was heavily involved in these Garageland gigs.
June 1st, 2008 at 11:33 pm
I think he only gets the ‘impressionable sucker emo kids’ slot on Saturday afternoons, last I heard.
Sly cunt makes them pay to play.
I’ve played for free more often than not, but pay Aidan for the privelige, fuck that.
June 1st, 2008 at 11:33 pm
It’s hard to type an Aidan impersonation.
Needs a special “l” mixed with “s” sound.
June 1st, 2008 at 11:41 pm
And what about the free spittle?
I was in his flat once. Can’t remember how or why, but I’ll tell you one thing; Francis Bacon has nothing on him!
June 1st, 2008 at 11:42 pm
Sorry, but that came out gayer than I meant it to. I just meant it was a bit messy.
June 1st, 2008 at 11:43 pm
That fuckin’ gaff in Ross St. flats.
Did he offer you a cheese sandwich?
June 1st, 2008 at 11:45 pm
Speaking of sounding gay – I thought of you last night. Was watching the film Crush Proof. One scene set in the Old Chinaman (remember that thred) and primo extra was a bleached Deco from Paranoid Visions. Think it was made in late 90’s.
June 1st, 2008 at 11:50 pm
I was there that day, but never knew the name of the film. I remember Deco had his hair done up nice for the occassion, and I think he even wore make-up.
Never liked that cunt. Sad, humourless, ignorant fucker.
June 1st, 2008 at 11:53 pm
Never knew him really. Just one of the constant faces around.
June 1st, 2008 at 11:53 pm
Were you in the film?
June 1st, 2008 at 11:57 pm
None of the regulars, bar Deco were allowed in the film. He must’ve had an Equity card or something.
We were all herded away into a corner out of view of the camera. Memories are vague. Remember where it was.
June 2nd, 2008 at 12:00 am
Must have been a thing of his – he was also an extra on The Last Bus Home – shit Dublin punk film.
I had a part on that of being a complete wanker. Funny.
