Post by: RGMike on March 17, 2006, 07:53:45 AM

TOP O' THE MORNIN' TO YA!

Tho' I kinda hoped Dave'd retire the Irish theme in favor of "luck" songs or "green" songs.  Like we don't hear enough U2 every day.

If Dave plays any Stiff Little Fingers I'll be a happy lad.

Let's hope we at least get some Thin Lizzy & Boomtown Rats (as long as it's not 'I Don't Like Mondays' or that other one he always plays- I can't remember the name now)....

ERIN GO BRAGH!

Agree with the early BOS, and extra points for the World Party connection (Karl Wallinger was a Waterboy for about half an hour--long enough to play on the FB album anyway.)

So how far will we get into the set before we hear:
1) U2
2) Van Morrison
3) Sinead

I'm guessing at least one of the three before song 5. And we're on song 2 right now.

OOOooo. BOS2 Pogues, Dirty Old Town.

I hear Shane and some assemblage of Pogues are going out togther again this year. It'd be tempting but Shane's a mess these days. Not like that's a news flash or anything.

Ah, the Pogues. The Pogues get played on the jukebox at my neighborhood bar all. the. time.

In fact- if drinking with Irish people in a bar is considered St Pat's Day? Everyday is St Pat's Day for this lil leprechaun.

I'm celebrating St Pat's tonight by squeezing a German-American cutie 'til she tells me to stop. (but one of her favorite bands is the Pogues)

I caught a couple of minutes of some Irish band doing rock n' roll on KFOX this morning.  Can't remember the song now, but it was cool.

Maybe he'll play "Daisyhead" by Something Happens.  Remember them?  They got a lot of airplay for a while and were heralded as the next U2.  I even bought the album, but I never listen to it.

Couple post-emptive thoughts:

"Fisherman's Blues" actually played a role in my weekend, being played several times by others on a jukebox after our draft.  My closest friends have wildly divergent musical tastes in music, and "Fisherman's Blues" is the only one that they all agree on.  It was also a personal favorite of my friend Brandon's.

The Pogues are indeed reunited with Shane and touring, and my Voice colleague Darren, who follows the band very closesly, insists that Shane's doing much better now, though he can still be combative at the drop of a hat.

Dave went with the wrong Corrs track.  "Breakaway," as y'all noted, was horribly derivative, and a blatant attempt to break into the teen-tartlet market since the girls got the look.  Their previous songs were a LOT better; I would have recommended their cover (with guest Bono vox) of Ryan Adams's "When the Stars Go Blue" (a song which has now been covered again, this time by Tim McGraw; I'm dying to hear it).

Hope you all had much fun celebrating the luck o' the Irish (a cruelly ironic phrase if ever I've heard one).
