For the uninitiated, these are Irish Throwing Stars, an ancient weapon wielded by St. Brigid during the 1916 Rising, striking fear into the hearts of the British, and responsible for the eventual smiting of both Cromwell and Thatcher.

Whenever flooding hits, we hear in detail all about the wrecked homes, livelihoods, property, and related misery.
But NEVER the major cause: that Ireland has been totally stripped of the native ecosystems like forest & bogs that would naturally have absorbed the water.

Just had my mind blown WIDE OPEN by the revelation that the guy who voiced Gollum in the BBC 1981 Lord Of The Rings also voiced Pigsy in the dub of Monkey Magic. Was listening to the former and thought “wow this dude sounds like Pigsy”, never did I imagine!

So if you had the cash for two of these recent Blue Note (pressings from Optimal which are generally very good) which would you take home for listening pleasure?
I accidentally got Juju last week but had it confused with Speak No Evil. Bit more Coltrane feel on Juju because reasons.

Somehow I was just old enough to have seen First Blood on VHS when it was the only entry. Also read the book from the library. Rambo felt like a real betrayal and I didn't go see it. So very much agree and interesting to be reminded of just how different it was.

I'll take your word for it. My knowledge of a lot of these UK towns is only what comes through popular media which seems to be either cool and edgy or post industrial hole. Or a bit of both.

Cheap cars have had cheap plastic dashboards for a few decades now. Our 2003 Hyundai never felt particularly premium and had a very analogue dash with plastic knobs and dials.

The Stan Getz tune is great. Can't see it in the running for a modern film alaa. But still nice to be reminded of it.
