I'd the best time at Electric Picnic. Shattered, but it was great. Reviewed Sam Fender at the main stage last night. You can read it here: www.irishtimes.com/culture/musi...
Sam Fender is not a typical frontman but his songs really connect with Electric Picnic audience
Fans sing so hard that at times it’s hard to hear the main man over extremely questionable yodelling

Four journalists were killed by an Israeli strike on a Gaza hospital today, including Mariam Dagga, a freelancer with the @apnews.com. She has a 12-year-old son, who was evacuated from Gaza earlier in the war.
She was a true hero, like all of our Palestinian colleagues in Gaza.

For a teenager in rural Ireland, the things the brothers sang about felt superficial after Kurt Cobain’s anguish. But Oasis, who are about to play at Croke Park, were part of the wave that swept grung...

If you’re looking for something likeable and popcorn-y, the new basketball dramedy Running Point on Netflix with Kate Hudson is a good watch. 30-min eps, ideal if you’re supposedly just watching one…

Very sorry to hear about the passing of Clem Burke, drummer with Blondie. I had a lovely chat with him for my Songs in the Key of Life radio show in 2018. His playlist was as cool as he was⬇️
