Take your pick. :P

Merry Christmas!

Sorry, this is WAY overdue. A merry Christmas from my world to yours, and a prosperous new year as well.

The Muse-ic Pub

Yet another reason why Muse are miles better than Paramore. En route to a family function, I saw this pub in one of the areas surrounding Donnybrook, in D4.

It's not the only Irish connection either. One of Matt Bellamy's relatives (grandmother, I think) is Irish. Plus, Bellamy's uncle was murdered in Northern Ireland during the troubles. Allegedly, the Irish Republican Army were behind it, but they never officially owned up to the murder. This in turn led to Bellamy's obsession with Conspiracy Theories, a recurring topic in Muse's music.

One final tidbit of info for the moment: the Man on the Harmonica riff frequently played as an intro to Knights of Cydonia made its debut in Marley Park, Dublin, on the 13th of August, 2008. I was lucky enough to witness that event. What a show it was. Matt's ability to recreate ALL of the infamous synth lines on his guitar. He is able to do things with his guitar that no-one else is able to do with theirs. That's what makes then so fuckin good live.

Muse beats Paramore. Full stop.
