Kindled and lit
By chilly Girl Scouts
In a campfire pit

Rant that passes a few idle moments. The classical piano link from the same site is actually funnier.

Bizarre Records
Music-related, made me laugh. There's at least one album - a Stroll Through the Emerald Isle by someone called Kathy Shadows, which is worth a visit in its own right.

Fianna - Band Name Generator
Though carefull monotoring of the discussions on 'The Session' it has been noticed that a quality (or not so quality) band name generator would be an asset to the Irish Music Community. Again, suggestions are welcome. Enjoy!!

Fianna - Tune Name Generator
The Irish band, Fianna, has come up with an amazing new way to name your new tunes - The Tune Name Generator. Instead of thinking up titles such as 'The Boys of Bluehill' and 'The Cup of Tea' for your wee ditties, with the click of a button you can produce your own customised name. Why didn't we think of this sooner?

P45
Modern Irish humour/satire. Great site for wasting time at work - it's massive. Students dossing around or an inevitable product of the Celtic Tiger? Good place to learn about current Irish points of view if you intend to visit the Emerald Isle. By the way, for those who don't know, your P45 is a tax document you get when you lose your job.
