Whats your views on iPod democracy? Is it always democratic? ;-)
Answer:
iPod democracy* is democratic at the start, until of course drink takes over then everyone is fighting for the iPod
*iPod democracy is when we're drinking, everyone who's in the room takes turns on putting on the next song. The name is somewhat ironic, considering it's the music Nazi's who end up dominating. When this occurs the 'far rightPod' has taken over. Dictators will remain nameless

I work in an office with mostly men and have become really friendly with one guy in particular.
We just hit it off straight away and share loads of interests. We have a laugh too as our sense of humour is very similar. We even wear our hair the same way.
Although my girlfriends never met him she's always niggling at me with jealous comments. She's even threatened to come round to the office and 'jimmy 'ead butt the cunt'.
What can I do?
Answer:
Hmmm this is one of the more interesting questions we've received, thanks. From reading your question i can immediately identify that there are some 'trust issues' at play here. Have you tried talking to your partner? Let her know how important she is to you, communication is key to success in any trusting relationship... then she is way more likely to turn a blind eye to your blatant homosexual tendancies and you'll be blowing that guy before you can say 'Appletini's after work mate?
Where do yas do your recordings? Looking to start doing my own stuff and don't know where to go
Answer:
All of our releases have been recorded with Shane Cullen in K9 Studio he seems to be the man of the moment for dublin recording these days, he's just done the new Squarehead album and stuff for The Last Days of 1984 which has bloggers the world over wetting their panties. He also does all the live sessions for Phantom FM's ICON show too. He's easy on the eye and has Super Nintendo hooked up to a big screen projector for all you nerds out there
Now this is toughie... while both towns boast significant aesthetic beauty (ahem!), i'll have to break it down. Kells is a town i have familiar feelings for... I was best man at the archetypal Kells man wedding, I know and have drank with half of Kells, certain people from Kells (you know who you are) introduced me to the coolest sounds of all time like My Bloody Valentine and The Jesus and Marychain, it was a Kells band who inspired me to not be a mouthy critic and to start my own band. So taking all of that into account... Navan

Ah Dylan, you've no idea how often we get asked for the lyrics to our hits (never). Here ya go, now don't be disappointed with their mediocrity
Tunnels
Every time I feel like letting go
Happens all the time I cant say no
Theres a beast thats living deep within
Theres a beast destroying everything
As I run the walls keep closing in
A claustrophobic ring thats tunnelling
All emotions straight right to the brain
All emotions bursting every vein
She is no good for me I know
Every time I taste her lips it shows
Theres a circle turning every night..
Tunnels without lights.
When a loose tongue, lashes like a whip
And theres no control deck on this ship
A misanthropic murmur through the waves
A misanthropic murmur: jealous rage
Drink, reflect and rebuild, drink, reflect
And rebuilding all the relationships wrecked
Theres a storm that passed by here last night
Theres a storm with me, for the rest of my life
Only Cunts Buy Vinyl
Scenesters, skinny jeans
Acting like its 1979
Tiny ties, wears scarfs inside,
Don’t know what world you’re from, it’s not mine.
Love all the typical
Burroughs, Orwell, Thompson, Gertrude Stein
Shoe gaze, new wave, any craze
Pitchfork shapes your pseudo muso mind.
You summer in, Berlin… cause that’s where the cool folks go!
You’re studying Nietzsche, Cause that’s what the cool folk know!
Guest list, Elitist
God forbid you’d ever wait in line
Dining out with girls who pout,
Boring those trout faced harlots with your knowledge of wine
