Talk to a 4 year old about walking upside down and gravity and then show them the video for Lionel Richie’s Dancing on the Ceiling. Mind blowing. Apparently the whole room rotated according to the Wikipedia page for the song.
Ah, one of my favourite movies of all time. Batman The Movie, released in 1989 with a fabulous Danny Elfman soundtrack. Videogame metal band Powerglove covered the main theme tune and put a crazy video game behind it. Here’s the original theme, much shorter. Powerglove added bits of their own. Metal fans will love it!

Here are a few photos from last Sunday’s Take That concert in Croke Park, Dublin. It was an amazing concert that started way too slowly.

The first time I heard this Dune cover of Queen’s “Who Wants to Live Forever” I thought, “Oh Wow! That’s good!” Then, 30 seconds into the song I thought, “Wait a second.
