Bits of Fairytale of Kathmandu are finally appearing on the internets; a youtube user has posted a couple of scenes.

SPOILER ALERT. You may not want to watch this if you didn’t see the original, as they are excerpts from close to the end of the film.

It’s cropping up on file sharing networks: The pirate bay download for it is currently 9th on a google search for “Fairytale of Kathmandu”. A rather obvious note to RTÉ and Vinegar Hill productions: Slap together a flash video player in 10 minutes, setup RTÉ.IE/fairytaleOfKathmandu and rake in the advertising revenue. The people want to see your content. Let them!

It’s windy today. But luckily, the internet doesn’t experience wind. It’s too fucking amazing. Make Interjazz link go now.

• Bock The Rocker takes an expert blogknife to Cathal Ó Searcaigh’s statement. Fantastic post from a fantastic blogger.
• More O’Bama Irish t-shirt jazz. [Pictured above]
• Dublin’s newest cyclist hunter is back, with part two of his cyclists break red lights shock series. (See this post previously at Jazz Biscuit.) Good choice on the Queen song, we left the video playing on another tab and it made typing this much more rocking.
• Captain Mulley had a youtube up yesterday of Super Eamonn Ryano up against Senator Shane Ross on broadband. How can we help Ryano save the day on broadband when there’s far more pressing [in the majorities view at least] issues that require capital expenditure?

Have you heard about this yet? Probably, it looks terrifying. From the wikipedia entry for Cathal Ó Searcaigh:

Ó Searcaigh sponsers the education of many boys in Napal and has an adopted son from this country. In 2008, Fairytale of Kathmandu, a documentary on his charitable work in Nepal presented a disturbing view of the poet. The producer, Neasa Ní Chianaín, alleged that some of the teenage boys that he had helped financially had also been seen going into his hotel room, insinuating that he was grooming them beforehand with gifts. She said the boys were over the age of consent but noted the “power disparity between a poor Nepali boy and a relatively wealthy westerner”, and interviewed some boys who alleged that Ó Searcaigh had had sex with them.

Variety have a good review up. The Irish Times had a good feature on it from a few days ago: PDF link.

It’s showing as part of the Jameson Dublin International Film Festival; details here.

Blogger Silly Old Twit has loads more on the subject and the post is well worth a read.
