Have you seen the cover of the latest dSIDE magazine? Glory be to jaysus but this (cough, cough) 'catalogue of cool' has put Samantha Mumba on the cover?! So it would appear dSIDE has resigned itself to go the compromised editorial route of Hot Press. Not that dSIDE was necesarily a vital publication but, despite its flaws, its presence on the rack of Irish newsagents was welcome. But now another potential champion of the healthy Irish music scenes has bitten the airbrushed Louis Walsh bullet. Any thoughts out there on the slippery slide of another Irish music publication? tobble

And while on the subject of Irish music magazines, Clubbing magazine has just gone bust and will no longer be on them there newsagent shelves. Their clubbing.com website will also be pulled soon. The announcement about it all can be found at: http://www.clubbing.com/news/default.asp?mode=shownews&id=1841 tobble

The clubbing dot.com thang is about 2 years too late, the boom is long gone, people don't have that much time or cash to waist at the moment:( but anyways has anyone noticed that samanta mumba hasn't the biggest belly button in the world? It's like a feckin empty eye socket, really freaky!! I dead serious take a look she should get on the weekly world news with that thing, peace on earth!! :> bab.
