Tuesday Tunes 158: Holiday
It is that time of year when schools break for summer – in the northern hemisphere, that is – and we will soon be seeing all those stories in the media of cancelled flights, huge queues at ferry ports, plus the added bonus this year with the current global heatwave of tales of people cooking themselves.

Cover Corner: @TheLindaLindas - Tonight ( @OfficialGoGos )
Young group pay tribute to their heroes with a spiky cover
@EpitaphRecords #newmusic #poppunk #punk #cover #TheGoGos #TheLindaLindas
Young punks The Linda Linda‘s have been making waves since their viral library performance of their song “Racist Sexist Boy”. The band has released their debut album on Epitaph, played late night shows, headlined The Troubadour, and this Fall will be opening for the Yeah Yeah Yeahs on tour.

#OTD in 1896 – Birth of stage and film actor, Arthur Shields (younger brother of Barry Fitzgerald), in Portobello, Co Dublin.
While Sean Connolly claimed the unfortunate title of being the first rebel fatality, others were luckier and escaped from Easter Week, 1916 with their lives. For Arthur Shields, his role in the Rising was to become merely an interesting titbit in what was a fascinating career as an actor at home and in the US. Arthur was born into a poor family in Portobello, Dublin in 1896. As one of eight…

Tuesday Tunes 115: Secret
Tuesday Tunes 115: Secret
The idea for today’s theme was gifted to me by a fellow blogger, the lovely Carol, who does a regular Saturday Snippets post based around a single word. This was one she posted a few weeks ago, and it gave me the idea that I knew of quite a few secret songs so this would make a good theme for me, too. As a slight departure from my usual practice, I’m including some tunes which don’t have the word…
