Careful, the 80s are coming

It seems obvious, to me at least, that the attack on the British soldiers at the weekend was not the work of the Real IRA or any other flavour of IRA. It was clearly an attempt by some sinister organisation … Continue reading

Road Records benefit

If I could get back all the time in my life that I spent in record shops I’d be 21 again. So it’s not nice to see your humble record shopkeep struggle. The Hangar Queen has details of a benefit … Continue reading

To stick with the positive theme…

…I have to say I was cheered by the fact that Joe O’Reilly lost his appeal. I’m cheered by the fact he’s going to spend years in jail. Happy that his dead wife’s family can get on with their lives. … Continue reading
