It’d be much better if when Sir Alan says “You’re Fired!” he fired a big fucking gun in their face.

Jinx Lennon plays the Sugar Club tonight (19.03.09)
March 19, 2009Dundalk’s very own Noise Maker, Jinx Lennon launches his new album, “Trauma Themes Idiot Times” this week. He’s also playing some shows to coincide with this, including a gig tonight in Dublin’s Sugar Club. Off The Meatrack strongly urges anyone in the Dublin area currently suffering post-Paddy’s Day binge fall-out, mid-economic apocalypse George Lee induced Questions and Answers doom depression to pop along. Jinx might actually be the only weapon we have left.

Watchmen Review!
March 8, 2009IN A NUTSHELL:
“Watchmen” the comic is a brilliant, brilliant piece of writing. They said it couldn’t be filmed; they were wrong. It’s a very, very good film. Easily the most faithful adaptation of anything I’ve ever seen, and possibly too faithful. There’s some stuff that works in comics that should never be seen in film (re: orgasmic blasts of flying saucer mounted flamethrowers). For the most part however its almost panel-for-panel the book, and the major thing they change could well be -shock gasp- better than the source material. I have no idea how i’d react to it if i’d never read the book….as I spent the film remarking to myself how much like the book it was. But one of the lads who saw it with us had never read it, and he liked it. So hooray for everything.
I have nothing clever, funny or enlightening to add. Go see.

MICHAEL JACKSONS PLAYING 10 NIGHTS IN LONDON AS PART OF FAREWELL TOUR
March 5, 2009
When I was a kid I was a huge Jacko fan. When he came to Ireland on the Dangerous tour my parents wouldn’t let me go. That, coupled with their refusal to buy me a Gameboy, taught me a valuable lesson about materialism, that has served me well to this day, but also broke my little heart and filled me with seething resentment towards them and their sensible parenting. Well, now its 2009 AND I CAN WASTE MY MONEY ANY WAY I WANT! FUCK YOU MUM AND DAD! I’M GOING TO SEE MICHAEL JACKSON AND YOU CAN’T STOP ME.
I’m also gonna buy a Nintendo DS just to exorcise all the demons.
“Everything’s amazing right now and nobody’s happy”
March 4, 2009I found this via Brad Warner’s blog.
Louis CK tells Conan O’Brien about how we might be the most spoiled generation ever, bitching about mobile phones, the internet and planes, all of which are fucking amazing! “You’re on a seat..IN THE SKY!!!”…..”Did you take part in the miracle of human flight, you non-contributing zero?”
This video sums up my brain:
Attn: Owls
March 2, 2009Please ensure that this:
Manchester United defender Rio Ferdinand and his fiancee Rebecca Ellison have arranged for a barn owl to swoop down the aisle and deliver their rings in a velvet pouch when they get married in August.
is a disaster. If you can do this, I will donate one thousand Europes to an Owl sanctuary. If not, I will donate two thousand Europes to a mental person to kill lots of owls. Not that you need the encouragement. I mean, its Rio Ferdinand’s wedding.
