This is what happens when you don’t pay attention to what you’re putting on your feet in the morning with the curtains closed.
Some think it’s lucky to wear odd socks.
I think it’s a sign that I wasn’t really awake when I put them on. At least I remembered to put them on my feet I guess.
Coffee in hand & here we go. Have a super day everyone 
Talk of Manic Street Preachers the other day got me thinking about my favourite Manics song, Motorcycle Emptiness (sexier official video here) & in turn other great songs for the road. Here’s some of my other favourites:
What are yours? *update: will compile list of all songs thrown into comments so off you go now & start listing!*
My favourite soundtrack for getting the blood flowing and the adrenaline pumping. Please do trun to 11…

Forgotten how much I adore those guys. Their gig in the Phoenix Park is in my top 3 of all time, one of those outer-body experience type gigs. If they’re playing Oxegen I may just go to hear them alone. A W E S O M E.
Someone please explain to me where that weekend went to??? And while on the subject of the weekend, thank you thank you thank you to the man above and his posse for giving us the most glorious day on Sunday for the Dublin City Soul Festival & just the chance to wander happily around town & dine al fresco sans brolly.
I had the pleasure of meeting & hearing the gorgeous & talented Nell Bryden on Saturday afternoon – she will hopefully be appearing in an interview on a blog near you before long. Be sure to check out her new album & if you’re in Dublin on June 30th, you could do a lot worse than go hear the lady live in Whelans. Amazing voice, great energy will make for a fantastic gig.
Stuff on this week(end) include SweetTalk, Connector 10, Volvo Ocean Race in Galway, The Cat Laughs in Kilkenny and most importantly, Pat Kenny’s last gig as presenter of the Late Late Show on Friday night (yeah clear your diaries lads, break out the bubbly). Will he get a Harley? I f*cking hope not.
SPWC are looking for volunteers to help out with the festival when it hits Cork city on June 13th & 14th and then Dublin from June 18th – 21st. Check out the blog for all the info.
In a bit of a rule-breaking departure (excused by the puntastic opportunity & fact that it’s raising money for a great cause), I’ll be pushing Darragh’s parachute jump as part of the Tuesday Push. It’s on Saturday down in Offaly & he’ll be jumping 13,000 ft to help raise some cash for Care Local.
And finally, can someone please explain to what the heck Karen Millen was drinkin/smoking when she decided that this frock was a good idea. As another bemused passer-by on Grafton St said “what are you meant to do when you want to sit down?”. The mind boggles.
So will Stu. And that guy. Here’s hoping these guys can make it to. Awesome.
