New deer species spotted in Ireland

Muntjac is a new variety of deer that has been spotted recently in Ireland, in areas such as Arklow. The deer is 19 inches in height, and barks like a dog.

Muntjac deer were introduced to Woburn Park, Bedfordshire in the early 20th Century.

The dear, unlike other varieties has no breeding session. This isn’t an elaborate April fools prank, this is a genuine species of dear, type Muntjac into Google and you will see pages of results.

Here is a picture of the deer.

Accelerate revisted

When the review for Accelerate was posted on this Blog, it was posted after one listen, which was a tad hasty. So this is why a revision was posted to see if the thoughts originally posted are still the same after a couple of more listens.

Well, is Accelerate still as good as it was after the original review? The answer to that is, yes it is still as good.

Man Sized Reef (not wealth, as it was incorrectly called on the original post) still kicks ass, Living Well Is The Best From Of Revenge still kicks ass and Supernatural Superserious is still as good.

A couple of tracks, have grown on me since the first play. One of song is Mr Richards, which deals with sexual abuse, but this reviewer has always had a habit of misunderstanding the meanings of songs, so it could be about folk dancing.  

Huston is a song that has made a bigger impact since the first listen, it begins with the political statement “if the storm doesn’t kill me/the government will” clearly referencing the bad handling of the Hurricane Katrina by the bush regime a couple of years ago.I’m Gonna DJ still packs a serious punch. It also has the some pretty cool lyrics. One example is the opening lyrics “death is pretty final/I’m collecting vinyl/I’m gonna dj at the end of the world/cause if heaven does exist/with a kicking play list/I don’t wanna miss it at the end of the world.”

Q magazine have said  “ rejoice they’ve struck gold again” which is an apt summation of what a lot of fans will that were let down by R.E.M’s output over the last decade or so.
