Pop Culchur Gets a Kick Up the Arse

Wednesday, February 11th, 2009

Welcome to Culch.ie!!!

And about feckin’ time too, I hear you say…

The idea was a simple one – a few months ago I thought it’d be a gas to start a group blog project (well, everyone seems to have one these days), the theme took a little bit longer. To be fair pop culture is one of the few common threads that runs through almost all of us and Ireland doesn’t have a  huge, enormous pop culture review site/aggregator/news place (can’t you see I’ve researched the lingo here?) so I decided to give it a go.

Getting others in on it was harder. Actually, to be fair, that was the easy bit. Pretty much everyone I asked said yes.

So here we are.

A huge thank you to AJ at Le Craic for donating the URL (how *did* he manage to get it?), Darren and Sinead for fiddly techie things and Pedro for design and the like.

This is very much a place for us to write about everything pop culture related but we’re hoping the comments and the community is what will really make here interesting.

Off we go, so ;-)

EDIT

Actually I’ve kept everyone anonymous for the moment so if you want to introduce yourself as one of the writers in comments, feel free to do so…

    @Dermot ‘Twas the very talented Pedro Monscooch. He’s responsible for the look, while Sinead Cochrane and I look after the coding side of things. We are lead by the egomaniacal Rick O’Shea.
