SHINE BLOCKAS (2009)


Now strictly speaking, I think Pitchfork are a bunch of joyless, socially inadequate anoraks whose ongoing willingness to disseminate their own brattish opinions on music remains a damning incitement of the socio-behavioral utility of whatever bullies they went to school with. That’s strictly speaking. Read the rest of this entry »

NEW ADVENTURES IN BABYSITTING (CONTD.)

coffee
Okay, you’ve never witnessed another person defecate up close and you don’t want to hear about it either? That’s understandable. I can respect that. But I will say this: Play-Doh Fun Factory. Ha ha. Ruined your lunchtime, did I? Oh, I’m sorry… Welcome to my world motherfuckers. Read the rest of this entry »

“SINCE THEN EOIN’S LIFE HAS SPIRALLED INTO A HAZE OF HILARITY AND ADVENTURE…”

funny
Not the first time I’ve posted this by any means. But it’s funny, so who cares. This is a wildly inaccurate profile of me done by a student paper in DCU in 2005. The interview really did take place. However, I dunno whether the guy’s Dictaphone malfunctioned, or if he suffered some sort of hallucinogen-induced flashback during the transcription process, but none of the quotations attributed to me are even remotely accurate.

@ABANDONEDTWEETDEPOSITORY

twitter-hashclouds
Day Three of my personal Twitter revolution and – aside from a few blog updates, which are posted automatically – I remain pretty much a Tweet virgin. Its just not happening I’m afraid.

THE DEVIL MADE ME DO IT THE FIRST TIME

(second time I did it on my own...)

drunk-salaryman
It’s isn’t always easy to pinpoint the moment a session turns into a bender. The American writer P.J. O’Rourke reckons its when he finds himself carrying a drink (“a real drink, with ice cubes in a cocktail glass”) with him wherever he goes – to the bank, the supermarket or even into the shower.

MUST BE SANTA (2009)


Not the first (or second) time I’ve posted this video but, fuck, this is just so insanely brilliant I just gotta give it another spin. The guys who made it are geniuses.
