    Tis the Summer Season So I’ve decided that I’ll call this bit Vol.1 Part 3..

    What? well Part 1 would be semester one, part 2 semester two so part 3 is the summer season 🙂

    I headed into the studio only to find that cables and microphones weren’t attached, to each other or any other piece of equipment. So after a quick rebuild of the studio Episode 35 kicked off…

    2. The Baseballs: Umbrella (Taken from featured album of the week, Strike)
    3. Plan B: Darkest Place
    4. Mia: Paper Planes
    5. 30 Seconds to Mars: Bad Romance
    6. Chat with Morning Hush
    7. Morning Hush: Romance
    8. Villagers: Becoming A Jackal (Recommended Free Legal Download available from Itunes)
    9. Cults: Most Wanted
    10. The Baseballs: I Don’t Feel Like Dancin’ (from the album Strike)
    11. Interview with Kathryn from I am not lefthanded
    12. I am not Lefthanded: Boats (Swept Away)
    13. Lena: Satellite
    14. Fyfe Dangerfield: Always A Woman
    15. The Baseballs: Hot N Cold (from the album Strike)

    and then it was over and the studio’s gaffer taped mic stands held up 🙂

  • 1911 Census Ireland

    The internet is a great thing… The Census of Ireland 1911 is now available online so I decided to have a look and see if I could find my Granda O’Donnell as he was the only one of my Grandparents that had been born at that stage.. Wow, its mad even trying to comprehend that.

    I wasn’t sure of Granda’s date of birth so I got it from my Mum and found all this information in a few minutes. Absolutely amazing. My Granda was Michael O’Donnell, named as the first child on the form and was 15 when the census took place.

    Granda died in 1974, I was 14 months old.

  • Friendly Algerian Football Fans

    I was coming home today when I saw this group of gentlemen, all dressed up and ready to go to cheer on Algeria against Ireland in the RDS.

    Everyone was smiling and happy, it seemed that although they may not be originally from Ireland, this was a home game. They were kind enough to let me take their picture. Hope you enjoyed the game guys!
