I know this is a day early. But the Mountain is very busy this week, and forget about getting anything out of me Friday.
This is hardly representative of all the great Irish music out there, from traditional to punk, and all points inbetween. I'm leaving too many great songs and artists out. But, I know all y'all got the Pogues, and that's a tad predictable from the Mountain anyway, innit? No need to remind me who and what I left out, I'm already working some Catholic guilt about it.
St. Patrick's not from Ireland. Shane lives in England. Mike Scott is from Scotland. But Phil Lynott was a genius, and Van's a mystic (or mystic fool). And Americans (that'd include me) act like the holiday was invented for them.
So enjoy a small drop in the bucket of tunes from folks from the Emerald Isle (or bands featuring folks from said territory). Have a pint, don't say "blarney" (you'll sound like an eejit), wear green only if you feel it validates you, kiss a redhead in Chicago (but watch out for his wife), and dance a jig like the drunken fools you are. Thanks for visiting.

Out of bandwidth... damn! Well, hello from Dublin anyway. It's bloody freezing here....

Cheers from Celtic Galicia.
I've been reading your blog since beginning of '05 at least & this is the first time I've received the message "This user is out of bandwidth" when trying to listen to the excellent sellection of Paddy's Day songs (been trying for 2 days).
How's you first 6 months of wedded bliss going? Still wish you could eat it?
Since Box.Net changed their ways alot of bloggers who use them are "out of bandwidth". They now charge for transfer of files which wipes out the entire account when the transfer expires. Phooey on you Box.Net!
