Brian McGeeney @mcgenius.bsky.social · 04/10/2026Are there any candidates to sit lower than Bullseye? 000
Brian McGeeney @mcgenius.bsky.social · 25/09/2026Robyn Hitchcock at The Church, Ipswich. Thu 24 September. 000
Brian McGeeney @mcgenius.bsky.social · 22/09/20262 out of 6 (Blue Níle / Tom Waits). The others were Suzanne, Lenny, Prince, and Chet. Couldn't remember whether or not I had the Fairport, REM or James Yorkston offerings, but turns out I don't. 000
Brian McGeeney @mcgenius.bsky.social · 22/09/2026Thought it might be as many as 9, but when I went and checked, it's only 6. 100
Brian McGeeney @mcgenius.bsky.social · 18/09/2026Lemonheads / Evan Dando in ramshackle but good form in Monroe's, Galway last night. Acoustic cover of EC's Man Out Of Time was an unexpected treat. 111
Brian McGeeney @mcgenius.bsky.social · 17/09/2026Spanish edition - which extends to translating the song titles and sleeve notes into Español. 010
Brian McGeeney @mcgenius.bsky.social · 17/09/2026The Radiators / TV Tube Heart - generally accepted as the first Irish punk / new wave album (released October 1977). A holiday elpee purchase that for various reasons (laziness mostly) I'm only getting around to now. 100
Brian McGeeney @mcgenius.bsky.social · 17/09/2026Merle Haggard's Okie From Muskogee and The Fightin' Side Of Me are great country songs expressing a conservative viewpoint. Albeit both could be considered as tongue in cheek. Whether or not they're "great art" is a different story... 000
Brian McGeeney @mcgenius.bsky.social · 11/09/2026Yikes! My bad. In my defence I was following the lead of the boy Kermode who made the same mistake a few days ago. You should visit though. EDITOR'S NOTE: Other Galway pubs are available. 110
Brian McGeeney @mcgenius.bsky.social · 11/09/2026Hugely enjoyable evening at @roisindubh1.bsky.social in Galway last night as @kermodemovie.bsky.social and his Gang Of Three chums played "Entertainment" start to finish. Highly recommended! 101
Brian McGeeney @mcgenius.bsky.social · 14/08/2026Very close. VU, Beatles & Lizzy. I gave away Tanita Tikaram. 110
Brian McGeeney @mcgenius.bsky.social · 14/08/2026An obvious three. It useta be four but I gave one away on account of it being a bit cringe (or so I thought at the time). 100
Brian McGeeney @mcgenius.bsky.social · 13/08/2026Introduce yourself as what almost killed you: Hi, I'm a VW Golf driving my owner home from work on a twisty turny country road that, unbeknownst to either of us, has recently been resurfaced very badly such that the slightest rain shower turns it into a skating rink. Double somersault incoming... 010

Brian McGeeney @mcgenius.bsky.social · 17/06/20261 outta 2. Revolver and British Sea Power. I have a blind spot when it comes to Joni. Just don't get her at all. 110
Brian McGeeney @mcgenius.bsky.social · 14/06/2026Had a tactical kip from half eight to half eleven. Bring it on! #WideAwakeClub 100

Brian McGeeney @mcgenius.bsky.social · 21/05/2026Yay! Correct first time! A recent-ish re-press that was going cheap on Amazon a while back. 010
Brian McGeeney @mcgenius.bsky.social · 16/05/2026Sat admiring the views, then realised from the closing credits that it was shot around Clonbur - barely half an hour from where I'm sitting. #NeedToGetOutMore 010
Brian McGeeney @mcgenius.bsky.social · 02/05/2026MINDFOLDED (AHOUSEiSDEAD x POWER OF DREAMS) - "Take What You Want From Me". This is kinda good. Watch the vid & then buy on Bandcamp if you're so inclined This week's proceeds all going to Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF). mindfolded.bandcamp.com/track/take-w...youtube.comMINDFOLDED – Take What You Want From Me (Official Video)YouTube video by MINDFOLDED MUSIC VIDEOS 010
Brian McGeeney @mcgenius.bsky.social · 17/04/2026I hadn't ever considered the possibility that a turntable might stop working - despite having had mine for 34 years, and buying it second hand. 210
Brian McGeeney @mcgenius.bsky.social · 15/04/2026The lynching is quite tastefully / artfully illustrated in the video that was made for the Kirsty MacColl / Pogues version (for the Red Hot + Blue album way back when). But for some reason it's not on YouTube. It's on Vimeo but you may need to register / prove your age for that. vimeo.com/11432395vimeo.comMiss Otis Regrets/Just One of Those Things - Kirsty MacColl + The PoguesThis is "Miss Otis Regrets/Just One of Those Things - Kirsty MacColl + The Pogues" by Red Hot on Vimeo, the home for high quality videos and the people who love them. 010
Brian McGeeney @mcgenius.bsky.social · 10/04/2026From that selection, my sisters had Boomtown Rats / I Don't Like Mondays, Dr. Hook / When You're In Love With A Beautiful Woman, Racey / Some Girls, and The Dooleys / Wanted. #ScarredForLife 010
Brian McGeeney @mcgenius.bsky.social · 10/04/2026Tanya Roberts who played Julie Rogers in the final season of the original series is also an "Angel" (died 2021). 010

Brian McGeeney @mcgenius.bsky.social · 03/04/2026Adding the ability to download shows for offline listening (as per BBC Sounds) would be a lovely thing. 110
Brian McGeeney @mcgenius.bsky.social · 27/03/2026Late reply here, but was listening back to The Show Formerly Known As MBRS the other night, this came on, and the result is that No. 1 Son (aged 17 and a half) is now doing a deep dive through my Go-Betweens elpees. Result! 000
Brian McGeeney @mcgenius.bsky.social · 22/03/2026AHOUSEiSDEAD - @whelanslive.bsky.social, Saturday 20th March. Magnificent! 100
Brian McGeeney @mcgenius.bsky.social · 22/03/2026HEY HEY, WE'RE THE PRONGS! Saturday 20 March, @whelanslive.bsky.social 000
Brian McGeeney @mcgenius.bsky.social · 16/03/2026St. Joseph's Day *is* a thing. Serendipitously, it comes only 3 days later than The 'Tones St. Joseph's Day on 19th March 022
Brian McGeeney @mcgenius.bsky.social · 15/03/2026#LunchtimeJukebox #YourCassettePet Not played this in decades. 001
Brian McGeeney @mcgenius.bsky.social · 12/03/2026 #LunchtimeJukebox Another "official" live bootleg - this time from the mighty Prongs . Fresh off the press (er... CD burner) and lovingly hand-scrawled. A nice wee appetiser for next week's double header with AHOUSEiSDEAD over in That Dublin. Get yours from Bandcamp. 010
Brian McGeeney @mcgenius.bsky.social · 11/03/2026#LunchtimeJukebox In which The Boy Wardle revisits and re-records the PiL and Invaders Of The Heart back catalogue over two discs. Picked this up at the live show last December but it's also available to buy via his Bandcamp page. 000
Brian McGeeney @mcgenius.bsky.social · 10/03/2026#LunchtimeJukebox Couples in bands who form side-projects: 1. The Creatures, 2. Tom Tom Club, 3. The Other Two. There must be others though... 000
Brian McGeeney @mcgenius.bsky.social · 27/02/2026Would the stuffed shirts upstairs in Radio Ulster / Foyle get in a kerfuffle if you were to play The Deadlians' classic "I don't wanna ride yer oul wan anymore"? 010
Brian McGeeney @mcgenius.bsky.social · 25/02/2026I hadn't considered the VPN aspect - my days will be numbered too in that case. I typically access FB from 2 x PCs and a phone, each of which is likely to be in a different country, VPN-wise. 110
Brian McGeeney @mcgenius.bsky.social · 19/02/2026They banned me yesterday too (also with no notice) but reinstated it after an hour. Your account seemed to disappear immediately after replying to a comment I'd made on one of your posts. Coincidence? 110
Brian McGeeney @mcgenius.bsky.social · 29/01/2026Pfft! Just another mini roundabout with an England flag painted on it. 😜 010
