This is the way. p.s. I obtained magic mushrooms in Galway, so I had a handful and whilst I'm not off my head, I'm vibing and it's fun.

Day 2: album challenge. Absolute perfection. Compositional maturity and also absolutely thunderous as well. Another album that propelled me through the Leaving Cert.

Early Split Enz had so much genuine neurodivergent vibes to their songs. "Mental Notes" is a masterpiece. Kia ora, chaps. www.youtube.com/watch?v=WAEY...

Going to start a 30 day album challenge over on these shores. Day 1: At The Drive In - Relationship of Command. A chubby undiagnosed 18 year old Jim loved this. A chubby unmasked 42 year old Jim still loves this. Absolutely vital.

"I'm not different for the sake of being different, only for the desperate sake of being myself. I can't join your gang: you'd think I was a phony and I'd know it." - the late and incredibly great Vivian Stanshall He was a real one, our Viv.

THE BOYS, THE BOYS.

Dear #irishbluesky and #blueskyireland and #ireland folk: We have an absolutely fabulous and hilarious take on the English language and some of our expressions are purest poetry. Let's get a thread up and running of some of the best hiberno english expressions. #hibernoenglish

Came up in my memories over in 't bad place. 10 years ago today. That was an incredibly chaotic period of my life and I do love 2015 Jim, but I definitely didn't like him. Photo's pretty funny all the same though.

Evening, music lovers: A show that we'd done a few weeks previously has now made its way onto the interwebs. Featuring a bit of no wave, bit of prog metal, art-rock [whatever that is], post-rock, and this and that and all sorts of bric-a-brac. #nowave #progressivemetal #postrock #psych

Worth signing...

As a nation we are currently standing on the verge of being able to shoehorn this classic slice of Hiberno-English back into our day to day parlance... "Grand aul stretch in the evening." Very good. VERY NICE.

Day 5/5 terminus: That was absolutely painless. I have no plans for the weekend. I will probably do something at some stage but right now I have not thought that far ahead. Mate's down from the east coast so we will probably go for a gadabout in the city. All to play for, etc.

Being the front man of an avant-garde/progressive extreme metal band must be an interesting experience. The onstage instructions from the vocalist would be certainly very novel: "IT'S FUCKING RHOMBICOSIDODECAHEDRON PIT TIME. TEAR THIS FUCKER UP IN 27/16. YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAARRRRRGGGGHHHHHH."

Incredibly specific content but it does exactly what it says on the tin. www.youtube.com/watch?v=tUdp...

"Some are thinkers with ideals, Some are running around waving their arms in the air with no idea what they are trying to accomplish here" "When I think I'm only spinning wheels in hopes of slowly pinning down in mind a firm conclusion, how the fuck to live my life... MOTHERFUCKER"

oho snap

"is there any in this rout with authority to treat with me"

"Never in the House did I use the word which comes to mind. The nearest I came to doing so was when Sir Winton Turnbull, a member of the cavalleria rusticana, was raving and ranting on the adjournment and shouted: “I am a Country member”. I interjected 'I remember'". Gough Whitlam, some boy.

The eternal struggle...

2 years ago today I received my initial invitation into the public sector. This invite in question has led to where we are now. 2 years later I'm no longer a temp and I'm actually acquitting myself quite well. call_centre_evacuation_proceedure.exe's payload began operations that day.

There's a place called Furry Park in Dublin.. Yes, friends, that's right, you read that right, Furry Park. Ça alors!

Tonight was fun. Our show is rambunctious but friendly. We are not elitists or snobs about obscure songs. We are the polar opposite of the "name three songs" brigade. Music is the best. Share the wealth.

www.mixcloud.com/live/MondayS... We are live. Come and join us. #independantradio #alternativeradio #alternativerock #avantrock #progrock #punkrock #metal

Cutting it very tight, but at 19:30 GMT, we of the Monday Show 3.0 will be presenting the Humpday Show 3.0. You can hear it live from here. www.mixcloud.com/live/mondays... Tonight I will be revisiting much of the music I listened to during my time in CUH so expect a varied selection.

Pleasant days are more the norm than the exception... Show tonight will be a lot of fun and incredibly cathartic.

GOOD GRIEF CHRISTINA...

Hark'ee, urban planners of the Republic of Ireland.

www.brooklandsradio.co.uk/liveplayer2.... It's liiiiiive.

From one extreme to the other, incredibly clipped and nasal old school posh voice occasionally with an abrupt detour into Lethal Weapon 2 styled "diplomatic immunity" styled diction. Surprisingly easy to sing in as well. Makes sense to me, weirdo that I am.

2 years ago somewhere in the northside of Cork City, meself and the excellent @sisterrose.bsky.social : "Hello yes we are a new wave band from the late 1970s."

Music lovers of the Bluesky universe, hark, a dearly respected and beloved mate, the honourable Mr Adrian Bell, will be lifting off there at 10pm GMT with The Progressive Alternative. www.brooklandsradio.co.uk Man always has a delightful selection of tunes and its two hours of absolute bangers.

Alas however I must earn my keep... @brianbilston.bsky.social, the genius.

my job is mostly great. hate travelling there though. Bus Eireann Cork, thou art incredibly mid.

That was a nice way to begin a new week. Hope all have a good time of it in the coming days ahead...
