Eh, original?
The volume's a bit low, this is higher -
I like good quality audio so I was in a bit of a(n annoying) quandary which to choose.
Ultimately I went with the "original" for the aesthetic.

Something you'll NEVER be, Jimmy.
I wouldn't know - I never listen to any music videos you post.
Your taste in music is like your IQ: weak.
You wouldn't know a transistor from an accordion, you dumb fucker.
Just like Oasis with their cheap-shot rehashing of classic Beatles riffs.
Hopeless.

Does anyone else get the feeling that Mowl wants a big pat on the head from his Jewish BFF

You're still trying to distract from your own stupidity earlier?
Yeah, I do actually.
Poor Jambo - all in a tizzy and wanting to choke me.
Ahhh.. . ..bless.. .

Fantastic. I love Grace Jones.
The above song I posted though came to my mind from reading the latest forum posts this morning.
Jimmy do nothing. Jimmy stay home and post memes online.
So I thought "Do or die" sung by a beautiful black lady to him might resonate somewhere with him?
Or how about this one? "Should I Do It"?
So c'mon Jimmy.
A statement of intent from you at least as a first step?
Get your disco gear on.

Same here: Island Life was a killer record that consumed me for years.
Tracks like this:
I love the solidity of this groove, Sly pulls the back beat even backer.
He's at home right now - as usual.
There was a video by Declan Rooney (Irish comedian) which was a piss-take on U2's 'Beautiful Day' except he changed the line to 'it's a miserable day' and shot the video up on the roof of U2's Clarence Hotel - in the rain. I couldn't stop laughing, but they made him pull it down.
The Pointless Sisters, as we called them.
Then Jimmy Smyth (The Bogey Boys) formed a trio of female backing vocalists and adopted the pointless sisters, for the craic, like.

Gordon Giltrap: 'Heartsong'
When I was a kid I used to set goals for myself as a musician, and one of them was donning my ear-goggles and tuning in to any radio station at random and play along with whatever the DJ played. From rock to pop to jazz to choral, I wouldn't change the station, instead I disciplined myself to complete each song as best I could. It helped me out a lot and I soon got myself a radio/tape ghetto blaster and soon progressed to completing full albums such as Steely Dan's 'Aja and 'Katy Lied' which are very challenging.
On other occasions when I had the house to myself, I'd take my Dad's ghetto blaster and set up a blank cassette to record mode so that when I was listening to my blaster via headphones and playing along, the other blaster recorded my parts which I could then study further to try to catch all of the ghost notes and other minor dynamics. I still play along these days but not in such a complicated manner. I have a digital/electronic kit which is almost silent apart from the kick drum component which sits on the floor that my downstairs neighbor said he could hear, so I converted a cheap 14'' floor tom into a tiny bass-drum with a mesh head and trigger on instead.
Anyway, the song above is one of the earlier tracks I can recall from those days, classic ballad/rock with some nifty little drum fills.

Apparently so; I was a fan of his since he played the Irishman Liam Devlin in The Eagle Has Landed, which I watched with my Old Man.
A great character actor, very intense but also capable of bringing the humour into things.
His son Keifer has some rather large boots to fill - I hope he doesn't try though.

Hollywood - like RTE, Fine Gaerl, Fianna Fail, and most of your other political parties - has this nepotistic/incestuous thing going on since the year dot.
If you inherit the family name, the job's oxo - you're in.
Name your wage.

That shot is from the film 'Invasion Of The Body Snatchers' which was released in 1978.
I can see why the Covid gang used it.
