AU Irish albums of the decade.

Ah northern Ireland, it's brilliant isn't it? Home of May McFetteridge, crap ads for shopping centres, the Hole in the wall gang, Julian who introduces Coronation Street, and, er, lots of rally cars. I jest, I jest. Norn Ireland is great, and it has a brilliant music magazine called AU, which I've written for a few times. AU are currently having a tilt at compiling a list of the top Irish albums of the decade. To do this, they want as much input from Irish music fans as they can get. Anyone can vote, and moreover, you can list up to 20 albums - gloriously allowing for the entire spectrum of anal retentiveness. If this endeavour interests you, get on over to their site and throw your tuppence worth in BEFORE MONDAY. Mundy O'Rourke and Glenn Hannigan for the motherfucking win y'all. Here's the link.


"'Bout yis? Neuowyeee on Corrie our Deirdreeee is getting a wee bit carried away with her toybowyee Rasheed. It's only scandalous. Why am I grinning? Well, sit yerselves down and I'll tell yis a wee secret. I just voted for my favourite wee band Adebisi motherfucking Shank in the AU magazine poll."

Interesting fact - I saw a bloke who looked exactly like Julian yesterday, he lives at the top of my road. Probably wasn't him but I felt like this was an appropriate place to bring it up.

Haha - you amateurs... I saw the real Julian in the flesh on a flight from Rome to Dublin about a month ago. He was on his own, looked tanned and relaxed. Didn't do any camp impersonations or anything, which was a bit of a disappointment but there you go.

Also Darragh, I just sent you an email!

A "tanned and relaxed" man "on his own" on a plane. Well, we all know what that could mean. Why didn't you sell your story to Belfast Life Eoin?
