Verbal diarrhoea: Wexford band Immodium, who share a name with a certain bowel relief product, are "a new revelation in the Irish rock scene", it says here. Methinks their PR people are losing the, ahem, run of themselves.

More hot air: Juniper, puffed up as "the most explosive new act of 1998", release their new single, World Is Dead, a flatulent follow-up to their dull debut, Weatherman.

Ladies choice: Bernard McHugh, that fella from Donegal who won Blind Date, has recorded a version of the Tom Jones hit, Delilah. Why, why, why?
