Ramp It Up, Stamp It Down: Friday, 15th Of March
Ramp It Up!
The Higgs Boson
Remember last year when the CERN scientists thought they’d found the Higgs boson but they were being all cautious about it because jinx? Well, now they’re being somewhat less cautious because it looks like… it looks like… like we really might actually have the damn thing. Hello, God! You’re eency-weency!
Junior Soprano
He’s Pope now.
Cat Dowling’s ‘Come On’
Here’s the rather smashing, Marc Corrigan–directed video for ‘Come On’, from Cat Dowling’s debut album The Believer, which is out on May 3rd. Have a looksee and a listenhear. Simple, evocative gorgeousness.
Stamp It Down!
Ming’s Missing Penalty Points
Turns out Like ‘Ming’ Flanagan was right about Garda corruption because he was the one corrupting them. Allowing Gardaí to erase his penalty points and then shouting ‘Ah ha! You fell right into my Trap Of Awesome Righteousness!’ when he was caught out is not the kind of behaviour we were expecting from our most alternative TD. We are very, very disappointed.
Sinkholes
It’s bad enough that sinkholes swallowed some poor soul in Florida and then ate a golfer in Illinois, but for one to go and open in a housing estate in Carrigaline? That’s Editor Lisa’s old stomping ground! This time it’s personal, sinkholes. You’ve gone too far (down) now.
Taylor Swift
After a Nashville resident found hundreds of unopened glittery cutesy-poo fan correspondence addressed to Swifty in a recycling dumpster, people have been keen to advise rational analysis; after all, there’s no way Taylor can read everything, right? Well, we’re not buying it. If Stan Laurel could soldier through it, pumpkin, you can certainly give it a lash.
