[ROCKTOBER 4] darraghmac Appreciation Day

ya just drop the iop and trís would do it so

trís

thats cool

fuck you, you got in 35 seconds ahead of me!!!

nách tí bhean? almost translates to "is there a woman of the house?" which is a good portentous type of intro to something i think, i mean it's def a bit garbled and simplified but imagine brendan fraser playing connemara man (encino man in the US rly?) and it prob works

have u read heinrich bolls ireland book

nope but obv i will have known the cottage, my paternal aunt is heavily involved iirc

she's one of my favourite ppl she is a lecturer in feminist theology and christian ritual we have marvellous fights

^lol

feminist theology and christian ritual

and i mean among other interests

so much dogshit at the confluence of the academic left and xtianity

it's where indulgences intertwine nest pas tho

deems la i got that heinrich boll ireland book

seems a bit luftmenschy

i expect i will like it but im not sure he ever saw the harsher side of ireland rather than the bucolic realness

when did an artist bychoice plunged into misery ever affect elsewise tho.

other ppls misery obv

theres another literary tradition of viewing the countryside as a sort of abbatoir en plein air

deems could you summarize the history of your appreciation of the wu tang clan

i downloaded an album by that and several other bands when i changed phones (ie recently) and have found the album to my tastes

just assumed rza had been on soccer am due to alimony troubles

why u gotta be like that tho

hi everyone btw

I like this guy and will be sad when his internet gets disconnected and he'll have to work 18 hours a day

this has basically come true fwiw.

this has come v much untrue btw

deems what do u think of this track

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ghMOacGV1gQ

take out the distortions and it'd be strictly ok I guess

the other week i was thinking while intoxicated that it is almost a template for that very early oasis sound, give or take a little less monody and distortion and a bit more t rex beatles football chants etc etc

its a bit that ok, but I'd go status quo/trex/slade first before assuming noely g was spreading wings any wider

yes i wasnt suggesting he was copying spacemen 3, although its not too unlikely thar he heard them

he probably he did borrow something from ride, chapterhouse etc who were following in their slipstream

youd possibly like the first two albums by ride actually, assuming you dont already know them or think they are shit

I will check em out &thks

I dont v often think "thats shit" but I do tend towards "I dont rly need to hear anything right now" and then its even more seldom I need that anything to be new iykwim

any truth to the rumours you have recently been promoted deems

its happening in instalments is the thing

nakh fyi my uncle is currently resident in Heinrich boll cottage so there u go

Nice

quite
what qualifies him for that honour
ive still not read more than a chapter of that book

idk there's a selection committee he's a returned emigrant who's settled in Kerry and writes poems and has gotten a bit of notice so I guess that and being from down the road got him this years gig

I know nothing of boll and only a little of Camille souter or paul henry truly I eschew the arts as packaged to us simple islanders

idk who either of those are

I feel better so

paul henry could be the name of a water engineer from westport

he'd be from the Newport side tbh in fact to my experience he'd be from polranny lynchehaun (not polranny sweeney)

any truth to the rumours you have recently been promoted deems

for instance the pay just landed (backdated obv, nice)

thank you darraghmac for welcoming drunkposting insufferable me to ilx

was a fan even as a lurker, yet your kindness surprised me; goodhearted ye are

tbh sometimes don’t understand your posts (I’d need like Ulysses Annotated) but always esteem them anyway

deems's posts can be dense sure, although there have been disagreements as to which sense of that word applies

Darragh I'm reading the coldest eye, have you read it and if not can you read it and comment on the accuracy of every declaration made about "The Irish"

Oops, a colder eye I mean
/tipsy

hi drash, I'm as cuddly and soft as it gets. I dont know where I get a rep otherwise tbh. also the hard to understand thing baffles me but maybe its the accent. idk. hi anyway.

wins ive read v little apart from mediocre to good teen fantasy the past few years due to college pressures and a frankly appalling attn span but if you recommend a synopsis or offer what you feel to be a representative quote I'll happily critique the entire work

New q can you recommend some teen fantasy
