    There has to be ancient coin with that heavy metal girl and her chicken on it!

    If there is not, then there should be...

    The movie is a little silly, but the soundtrack rocks! Of course, the coin is best of all :).

    One for Game of Throne fans. Recognise the lead actress in the music video?

    We've been on a bit of a Hozier trip in the house ever since the wife discovered him.

    Ummm, isn't that the chick from "Vikings"? (she plays Lagertha)

    ... or does the rest of the world even know of Vikings? (it's an Irish-Canadian co-production)

    I've watched the first 3 season (if you like GOT, then you'll probably love Vikings)

    First season of Vikings did not grow on me. Maybe I should try again.

    After you get into the Viking background story, it is a good series.

    This coin always makes me smile when I hold it. It is such a perfect example, one of the nicest in existence.

    On a campus of over 25,000 students, I only have two friends. I won't be able to see them for a couple years. Plus I spent New Year's completely alone. So this song portrays my feelings right now pretty well.

    This Syracuse tetradrachm has been a favourite of mine for nearly 10 years:

    For music, it has to be something with Cathal Coughlan - Microdisney, Fatima Mansions or more recent solo works.

    I'll stick with "Blues for Ceaucescu" as it was the second encore the only time I saw the Mansions, in Cork in '93 - amazing gig, still fondly remembered.



    Happy 2017, all.
