This week’s Day and Night section examines The Pirate Bay case in Sweden, Videos from White Stripes on Conan and a Donkumentary, Links to Photoshop Disasters and the odd but brilliant Sexy People plus new music from Yeah Yeah Yeahs and Belfast bands John Shelly and the Creatures, Escape Act and Cashier no.9 (playing tomorrow night in Dublin, no excuses).
This song by John Shelly and the Creatures is just bloody lovely and is soundtracking a Northern Ireland tourist board Advert. There’s no better advertisement for the Belfast scene right now.
