Tuesday, 25 January 2011. The Seven Ages of Man/Woman in Popular Music: Part 3 The Lover. And so, after childhood, Shakespeare's melancholic Jacques turns his attention to adulthood and the long slow slide to death and that moment in which Beckett's Pozzo says, 'the light gleams an instant, then it's night once more.'. The third age of man and wochap sees us as the heartbroken lover,. And then the lover,. Sighing like furnace, with a woeful ballad. Made to his mistress' eyebrow. Posted by Paddy Hoey.

Gobshite's Miscellany: December 2010

Monday, 13 December 2010. In Praise of Children's TV: Terry Deary's Horrible Histories. AS evidenced by my trip out to see the mighty Big Howard and Little Howard show on Saturday afternoon, my life is less hardcore political stand-up these days and more children's telly. Now, unluckily for Miss H, being comfortable 21st Century 'pretendy' lefties, me and Mrs H have decided that there'll be no Disney Channel in the house, so Children's BBC is our mainstay. Sure, it's light on context, but it makes up for...

Gobshite's Miscellany: Daily Mail links women's movement to autism and then prints pictures of glamour model to show hard far it has to travel
http://gobshitesmiscellany.blogspot.com/2011/11/daily-mail-links-womens-movement-to.html
Tuesday, 22 November 2011. Daily Mail links women's movement to autism and then prints pictures of glamour model to show hard far it has to travel. The Daily Mail finally lapped itself in the crazy race today. It linked growing autism rates to the rise in prominence for women in the work place and successful parents. It then went on only four pars in to describe the belief that it was down to MMR, a story it had been the lead cheerleader for. For many years as a 'rather bizarre hypothesis'. Liverpool Ech...

Saturday, 3 December 2011. PODCAST: Paul Du Noyer on the lost art of the album sleeve.

Tuesday, 12 July 2011. The Onion visits the locations of The Wire. Posted by Paddy Hoey. Wednesday, 6 July 2011. Shack: Britain's greatest ever unheralded band. I have tried to change CDs in the car in recent months, but can't. And as a result I now realise Shack are the greatest band. Ever. That's it. And this is their best song. This will, however, wind up the purists, who will prattle on about 'Waterpistol' and 'Here's Tom' etc. To them, I'm sorry. (I'm not.). Posted by Paddy Hoey. Follow me on Twitter.
