What qualifications though?

Enoch Burke is heading back to Mountjoy Jail. You can officially put up your Christmas tree now!

My seco is in the grounds of the only castle in Ireland that still has a flooded moat.

Doesn’t quite capture it.

Hubros?

Hubris?

Some U.S. nonsense is the top story now, which would seem to be more bizarre than a headline about an accident with multiple fatalities in a country that your nation shares an island with.

I’ve always thought it was a disappointing follow-up to Definitely Maybe. I loved the fuzzy Jesus-and-Mary-Chain-with-tunes sound of the first album, really didn’t like the cleaner production and more conventional songwriting on the second (and subsequent) albums.

Heartworm is fantastic.

There are so many Irish bands that should have been huge but never really broke out.

God yes. The Universal is deadly, Charmless Man is okay, but the rest of the album is so forgettable.

To Bring You My Love is an excellent album but where do we stand on Is This Desire?

I’ve always thought it was underrated personally.

Full of great songs - it’s such a confident debut album.

I’ve had more than one mad scramble to skip to the next track when Closer comes on 🤣

Boys Don’t Cry -> Seventeen Seconds

Beautiful Freak -> Electro-Shock Blues

Pretty Hate Machine -> The Downward Spiral

(PHM is great but TDS is incredible)
