Falling Over and Shameless Promotion of a Band I Like

Last week, whilst walking home in the sunshine, I was happily bopping along to this Dead Flags song, enjoying the sunshine and generally not looking where I was going. My happy clappy mood was soon altered though when a ninja cobblestone beside chq conspired to trip me up, resulting in me hopping myself off the not at all soft ground. It was the kind of fall I hadn't experienced since I was aged eight and fell on the tarmac driveway at my cousin's birthday party, hopped up on jelly and ice cream and possibly a funsize Mars or three. Probably. My first thought wasn't anything to do with how embarrassing it was (and it really was) though, as the area was all busy with IFSC minions and the like, but rather: "None of these fuckers are helping me up! Bastards!" And this is what happened to my poor little knobbly knee:


So although I was blaming the aforementioned Dead Flags for my injury, I just couldn't stay mad at them and attended their superfun gig in Whelan's last night, which was indeed both super and fun. I'm heading home home to Waterford with the Bear this weekend and we're going to catch their gig in Clonmel of all places, seeing as it's nearby. Oh yeah, and they're staying in my house that night cos I'M SO FUCKING ROCK AND ROLL that I'm bringing a band home ow oww! Clicky here to marvel at their wit and general cleverness in an interview they did for drop-d.ie and get on over to their website for a listen to the kind of songs that'll distract you from impending leg injury and general bruising. In a good way of course.

Radio Gaga

I know Lady Gaga's songs are kinda cheesy, poppy, trashy, etc. but I can't help liking this wonderfully ridiculous line in Pokerface.

'Cause I'm bluffin with my muffin

It makes me giggle every time and I always end up singing "poke her face" instead. The song also makes me think of Ma Baker by Boney M. I don't know if any of these are necessarily good things, but just LOOK at her deadly lightning bolt makeup! People should paint things on their faces more often.



I saw this street art when I was in Paris and since then I've wanted to paint a blue star over one eye, I just need to find a suitable occasion to do it. Or maybe I'll just turn up in work with a face like Paul Stanley for the hell of it.

The Dead Flags

I'm going to see these guys in Whelans anocht. Should be good craic, one of Himself's mates is in the band. David Walliams said he liked the name of their single. And Himself is actually in their video. Whoo, he's a minor celebrity! Yesss.
