You’ll be happy to hear that BT2 have their very own stall at this years Electric Picnic.

Dubliners will have a free bike scheme of their own early next year, it was confirmed today. Labour councillor Andrew Montague said there would be 500 bikes at 25 stations in key locations across the capital. The Ballymun-Whitehall representative said the success of the scheme in Paris, Lyon and Oslo showed that people could be encouraged out of their cars.

A commuter arriving at Heuston Station would be able to cycle to Baggot Street in about 15 minutes, he said, adding: “Try doing that in rush hour.” He went on: “A computer system will keep track on who is using the bikes, and anyone who decides to throw their bike in the Liffey will automatically lose their 150 euro deposit. “That should deter even the most fool-hardy pranksters.”

A fitting tribute by MOSES, one of the most innovative train writers around today…

Released late last week this, the second album from Dublin-born COLLIE, is taking all the attention away from Tay Zonday for a hot minute. And it’s well worth the price of 3 pints in Dublin!

You can get it direct from his MYSpace page, or from the likes of All City and Road Records in Dublin. For Cork heads, check Roxy @ Douglas Court/Ballincollig.

Right, we’re getting out of this graf game to focus on promotion. Namely the promotion of this man…

Presenting Tay Zonday with a cover of the classic “Never Gonna Give You Up”.

Instant classic!

So it seems we were a little late on the Chocolate Rain front, but now we’re fully subscribed to Tay Zonday’s particular brand of deep hilarity and we can’t get enough.

Here’s the man performing live at a “block party” last week…

and live on the Jimmy Kimmel show…

and finally the 8bit remix (thanks to b0b @ HurtYouBad)

Loads more where they came from!

Big up RISTO for the original linkage.
