I make Maps from 1's and 0's. I have a Cochlear Implant, so I hear with them too.

That My Bloody Valentine gig was a curate's egg. Fully expected for what was billed (and charged for) as a rehearsal. When they clicked it was very powerful.
Saturday night is going to be incredible.

Truly the end of the best beer bar that Dublin ever had.
The community that Paddy built in Underdog over the last 8 years is something that the city will miss, but I'll miss it more...

Saw this lovely map of Merrion Sq from 1764 in the Oscar Wilde house.
Interesting that the buildings are drawn in elevation. The yet to be built Fitzwilliam St. is called 'the intended new street', and there are numerous appearances of 'Stable Lane'

The Wedding Present in Whelan's this evening. Great gig revisiting their 40 years, done in reverse chronological order.
That was probably the most middle-aged moshpit I've been in.

Interesting evening last night at Gibby Haynes Plays Butthole Surfers. There were definite School Of Rock vibes from his teenaged backing band, but they were note perfect
Evicshen isn't to everyone's taste, she was like an atonal arhythmic Autechre delivering performance art. Personally, I loved it

Mogwai in Vicar St this evening. I haven't seen them play My Father My King is a good while. Certainly blew the cobwebs out of the rafters.

The best band of brothers playing in Dublin this month. Next month too, probably. @sparksofficial.bsky.social at The National Stadium tonight.

More bike friendliness in Freiburg. We're in a cafe atop a 2 storey bike parking garage. That's a bike bridge crossing the 11 platforms at the main train station.
Just out of shot is another bridge, for trams, and of course there's a stop on it for most of the tram services in the city.

Highlight of In The Meadows so far: The Scratch.
Had to leave early because my youth is calling: Slowdive in a tent up next

What goes around comes around. The late 80's long bowlcut hairstyle,worn by House Of Love and many others, has become fashionable again.

New paving slabs at Capel St bridge that light up to indicate if it's safe to cross or not.
Obviously aimed at people who are always looking down at their phone.

At least they're owning up to the issues on the front page of their website. Looking forward to a couple of fun days again myself, maybe we'll meet up...

Great setup with beers and people to match at Boundary Brewing's #Jubliate festival.
I doubt there are any spaces like this in Dublin, which is a shame.
