Out and about on this sunny eve? Redmonk from this parish is dropping beats and bombs later in the Bernard Shaw. The whole thing is part of a regular session hosting local producers and DJs. Full details can be copped right here.
Gombeen #15: Conor Feckin’ Skehane.
Later he stigmatised one half of service-users and simultaneously pitted them against the other half by blaming the homeless for “gaming the system” to get social housing
Last Resorts.
“There’s a constant effort at balancing the interests. However there are fundamental contradictions in the interests of the tenants and the landlords. The landlord’s aim is to raise rent to make more money out of it and then the tenants aim is to have a secure place to live. This is playing out with slum landlords illegally evicting people using a high level of threat and violence, sending round heavies. RTB can’t really deal with that complex of a case or that level of force being applied by the landlord.”
Tiny Cosmos.
One for later. Pauly Martin and Redmonk take over upstairs in Anseo for their irregular Tiny Cosmos party. They promise to “play it all, curve balls and crisp cuts.” Preview mix above and further details on Facebook.
Kevin Writes.
Above: An auld ilo from rabble 10 when Oireachtas Retort dragged us down memory lane to look at RTE’s coverage of the whole sorry debacle. Props to Redmonk for the scribble. There’s some fierce uncomfortable shite coming out of the mouths of those propping up the regime at the moment. Here’s the sinister fringe’s bard in residence, Kevin Higgins with a response to Finian McGrath’s accommodation with his new political reality. … Read More
Gombeen # 11: The Ringmaster Of Reaction.
There is a jolly man who acts as the ring master for reaction, he whips up callers into a frenzy, rails at them, exudes sympathy, tells people to ‘go on’ with their tales of misery and he pretends to care. Then he mounts campaigns for what HE believes is right His training was being an outsider who got into college, it was being left wing, it was engaging in protest, … Read More
Same Shit, Different Party.
Oireachteas Retort picks apart the hype and bluster of Lucinda Creighton’s Renua to reveal a brand that is nothing more than a reheated bowl of the same political tripe she claims to have left behind. It will come as unwelcome news to many of you but there are not just one or two – but three Lucinda Creightons. First, there is Lucinda Creighton. A woman from Claremorris, County Mayo. A … Read More
#ruckusAlert: Dabbledoo Where Are You?
rabble’s own Redmonk has been lending his sketching skills to a musical education project for smallies for the past while now.

#ruckusAlert: Any Plans After The March?
A few of us from this little parish of disgruntlement have been giving a dig out on the water charges front in Phibsborough. You can catch myself and Redmonk stepping up with the platters that matter up in Dalyer after the March on Saturday. Bring your smiley faces. There’s a range of other folk on the line up too, running from screamy metal punk to Cabra’s dub master Enda Starr … Read More
Murphy’s Law.
We all know that De Valera’s vision of a Gaelic utopia manifested itself as a bit of a psychologically terrifying clusterfuck. Here, Síofra Gallagher looks at the cultural wing of his endeavours, Comhaltas Ceoltóirí Éireann (Society of the Musicians of Ireland), the organisation entrusted with promoting traditional dance and music since 1951, and asks the question: has Dev’s cultural wet dream become a crusty old wankstain? Before we look … Read More
