Living Isn't Easy by Robocobra Quartet

  • "This is the first album we wrote entirely collaboratively and recorded live. We had spent the past few years playing shows and improvising on stage so it felt right to try to use that energy in the studio. We kept a really limited palette on this record, restricting the amount of people and the instruments used to keep things focused. Loosely written around one character trying to negotiate modern life, all of the vocals were recorded in one sitting to let the narration get exhausted and more worn out over time." - Chris, June 2022

MSM talking about supply chain & self sufficiency. (long overdue)

#Ireland

The minister (for agriculture) has set up an emergency team in his department to monitor the supply chain situation. He confirmed that getting farmers to plant some grain crops this year is on the agenda.

Speaking on RTÉ's This Week, Mr McConalogue said the war in Ukraine and consequent sanctions on Russia have created much uncertainty around supply and the Government wants to improve self-sufficiency.

He confirmed that he has called farming organisations to a meeting to discuss food security and among agenda items will be having all farmers to plant crops this year.

Ireland is heavily reliant on imported grain, with around 60% of the 5.5 million tonnes used in this country every year sourced from overseas.

It is used both in products for human consumption and for animal feed.
