The dog having just been given the biggest hug in her life, we're online from one of the temporary HP Towers in Meath and discovering loads more quality tunes.
First to put a Spring in our step - are we the only ones who forgot the clocks have gone forward? - is this stunning cover of 'Ghost Town', which Fox Jaw have assembled from all around the country as part of their Covid Covers series.
Keep on Limrocking in the free world, lads!

Here’s the first in a new series of vids we’re calling ‘Covid Covers’ each part recorded in our own isolation cubbyholes across the country. First up ‘Ghost Town’ by @thespecials https://t.co/jbqUa4GJaA@FERGDARCY @PMcLoone @fanningrte @cormacbattle @DermotTodayFM @IanDempsey pic.twitter.com/TvUQz3hWIx

Michael Stipe has shared the demo of a gorgeous new tune he's written with Aaron Dessner from The National. Hearing his voice sounds very reassuring...

A reminder from Suede that their classic self-titled debut album was released 27 years ago today. "Who's going to join us in listening to it today?" they inquire. Two decades later the record remains a visceral thrill from start ('So Young') to finish ('The Next Life').

Suede's debut album was released 27 years ago today on Nude Records. Recorded at Master Rock Studios and produced by the extremely long suffering Ed Buller.

We've a double dose of Modern Moore - his guitar kills both Covid and fascists - who never fails to put a smile on our faces with his Christyfied covers. Jason Mraz's 'I'm Yours' and Taylor both rise to the challenge today. So boys and girls, heads down, chins up...

Pittsburgh rapper Tierra Whack voices our collective lockdown frustrations with 'Stuck', which does an absolutely bang up job of sampling Alanis' 'Ironic'.

Garda Info has been keeping us both informed and amused with its updates. Good to know that the residents of Phoenix Park are doing okay during the crisis.
