Always great to see.

Creators of the world, a data center on full power will never replace one of you.

Be you song writer, artist, animator or journalist, the slop that is pushed out at max capacity will never replace your legitimate genius.

Real creativity lives, despite everything, it still lives.

I think about all the times where I had contemplated starting anew over across the Atlantic and ever more I am incredibly thankful that all those notions came to nothing.

Life in the EU in general and the Republic of Ireland isn't always hearts and flowers but I wouldn't trade it for anything.

This is Sunday.

I am under no obligation to do anything.

I am under no obligation to mend others.

I'm under a bit of obligation to feed and mend myself if needs be.

I will sleep in.

When travelling on a bus or train or any form of transport I did not request nor do I want to hear the following:

Your tiktok/reels feed.
Your phone call.
Etc.

Be conscientious of others if ye have the basic wit or decency to do so.

Use headphones, please.

Get it?
Got it?
Good.

Faraquet make some immaculate math-rock.

They're playing the neighbours and also the mainland.

Methinks I might nip off for one of the continental European gigs.

Why not, sure.

2 years ago today we started our DnD campaign.

Tonight we finished it off with finally sending Fantasian Paisley to his demise.

The laughs were plentiful, the camaraderie was something special, legitimately something I looked forward to.

Mad fond of the touring party as well.

All hail.

As soon as we get over the hump and get into February, life will become a tad more interesting.

Behold upcoming adventures:

I did actually chuck in an application for the Akumakon karaoke because it's fun and because I've absolutely no problem with making an idiot out of myself to amuse me mates.

I've actually picked a song that is a bit odd but actually nice as well.

I don't care what anyone else says, "aye, yer ma" is a perfectly valid retort for any given situation.

Thurston Moore: What exactly is your real name? Is it Beck? Were you christened Beck?

1. En route home, managed to grab a bus directly after leaving work which is fortuitous.

2. Business has picked up a bit. It is nice to be busy again.

3. There are 11 days left in January.

4. Weather's in shite, but that's the rule as opposed to the exception.

And here we are nonetheless being bombarded with details vis a vis a shitty photocopy of Buzz Windrip and his cabal of Von Ribbentrops on a regular basis.

Pour votre perdition habitants de Cork.

Pour votre punition je suis Jamesey Fitz.

I'm back, more or less.

I expect neither parades nor ticker tape but just the one acknowledgement of "dhera well, tis yerself" would be sound.

A bit over a month away. This will be absolutely marvellous.

What a song. Howard Devoto and the lads were the real deal.

The back of the 304 bus going from William Street to Fairgreen is full of chungwans (young ones, in the local dialect) giving each other and more than likely everyone else on the bus no end of verbal.

Not even Ruins can drown them out.

Tradition must be adhered to I guess.

Blessed be, ladies.

Weep, oh Corkonians, you have once again been denied the opportunity to bear witness and participate in whatever whimsical jolly japes that, honestly speaking, I probably wasn't going to participate in anyhow.
