That guy from the Devlins missed out on a great extra verse..

It's really awful. I've been listening and re-listening to this, the last time I saw him play live.

I'd never heard that one before; what a song!

I've just noticed that quite a few of those song titles get a lot better if you read them as including the record label name: I Need a Dollar Epic, Marry You Atlantic, Firework Virgin, Don't Hold Your Breath, Interscope, etc.

I'm really looking forward to this too, and I second how good the stuff off Drums and Guns sounds live.

Ah, I'd forgotten about that The Hour thing; I must try to watch that. The other thing I've been intermittently watching off of netflix is I, Claudius, which is only amazing. I was so impressed with Derek Jacobi that I even tried an episode of Cadfael, on the off chance it wasn't as awful as I...

Yeah, I find it quite bearably terrible too. Poor Noah Wyle though; if only you could retrospectively transplant him and his scraggly beard into Jericho. I've also been watching Sports Night, which I've never seen before. It's pretty spectacular how much Sorkin recycles into the West Wing--not...

Have any of yis ever had a problem with a Macbook Pro disconnecting/not being able to reconnect to a wireless network? My girlfriend got a Macbook a couple of months ago and it seems to happen to hers here in the house all the time, though never to my (Windows-running) laptop. The Apple forums...

I have to say, now that I've finally had it explained to me how it all works, I really like this game. It probably helps to have watched that game with someone who's from Pittsburgh though. Tension by proxy.

That's a great song, for the first line alone, which is not to say I don't like the rest of it too.

Ah yeah, apologies for dragging him into a thread about philosophy. I have the blurriest of memories of him -- whatever show I was watching wasn't what you're describing there -- and he mustn't have seemed obnoxious to me when I was 17. Surprising, because I'm sure I disliked more people when I...

Ah I thought it was quite a friendly crowd, but then I was standing towards the back mostly. Also, yes, greatest gig ever!

That video is just great. It makes making music look as much fun as it, em, actually is. I mean this in a good way!

That's lovely!

I'm studying philosophy too (and also procrastinating from writing this morning). I, ehm, really like the more analytical-style stuff though. Not that I think it's more valuable or anything like that, but I find I can write a bit more lucidly about it, at least. The seminar paper I have to write...

I too am back at college, although not at UCD. I still can't decide if what I decided was smart or not. I was switching to a totally different field, so I thought I'd do a second B.A. first rather than applying straight to a Master's programme. So I have a fair amount of what you're talking...

How is it that no Irish paper or news site has this story? http://www.guardian.co.uk/business/2010/nov/15/ireland-portugal-spain-european-debt-crisis I mean, I understand why the government might want to give the impression that they're not for turning etc, but it's mysterious to me that no...

I've wanted to read his essays for ages after seeing yer man Alain de Botton talk about him on TV one time when I was young and impressionable, but somehow I've never got round to it. There was a nice series about Montaigne in the Guardian last year, if you didn't see it, that might be a good...

It seems no one else on the internet liked that finale, but I did like it. Even if it doesn't get picked up for a second season, I think it works, in a funny sort of way, as a proper show ending. But I will not say anything else, partly because I do not know how to use spoiler tags. I think...

His scenes are always reminding me of other things (in a good way). Like the first scene last week could have been from The Conversation, and the scene last night where he was being, eh, quietly efficient, reminded me of something I couldn't place. I really hope it doesn't get cancelled at...
