FestivalShirts Photos!

festivalshirts photo shoot

You might have noticed that our homepage now sports some fetching photos of two extremely handsome young fellows modeling our incredible 'I'm fucking brilliant' t-shirt.

The photos were taken by Rich (thanks Rich!) and feature Gabriel Nespoli (thanks Gabe!) and my good self (thanks Me!).

The photo above also features my sister Cath, who didn't have a t-shirt, but got in on the photo shoot with her world renowned Beyonce impression (thanks Cath!).

If you're wondering about Gabe's expression it's commonly known on the internet as WTF. Gabe's Canadien and I don't think he ever quite got acclimatised to Irish shennanigans.

A little jar of sunlight...

Sun Jar

How about this for another must-have-thing to lug to a festival - a Sun Jar! You could leave it outside your tent (and... er... hope no one steals it) and it would light up at night to welcome you 'home'.

Unfortunately you can only buy online if you are in the UK. They will deliver to overseas, but you need to contact them directly. £20 sterling, delivered, for those in the UK.

I want one!

CSS on celebrity culture...

Sunday, May 6th, 2007

CSS Flicking through the Sunday Times today I noticed a small feature on Cansei de Ser Sexy (aka CSS) in the Style section which contained a fantastic quote from bassist Ira Trevisan:

The thing with American celebrity culture now is, it's like they've turned the whole world into an American high school, and everyone wants to be friends with the most popular girls.

CSS play the Oxegen music festival in July. They played in the Savoy, Cork in April and they rocked.

Countdown to Festival time!

Thursday, May 3rd, 2007

If you look in the sidebar to the right you will see two very lovely countdown timers - one for each of the big Summer festivals.

Most people who are into live music (and general festival madness) are going to one or the other. It's dividing the nation. Electric Picnic or Oxegen?

Well now you can enjoy second by second anticipation while displaying your allegiance to your festival of choice by putting one of these timers on your site.

Get your countdown timer to your festival of choice here!

As you can see they fit very neatly into standard sidebars, but you can put them anywhere on your site or blog as long as you have a rudimentary grasp of cut-and-paste html.

Enjoy!
