PS- An All-Irish St. Patrick's Day 10@10 coming up! Name your favorite Irish band, song or artist!!
So who should we suggest, outside of the usual suspects (Van, T'in Lizzy, Sinead, U2, et al)?

Hrm. Dave played Horslips once.

Irish Rovers, "Wasn't That a Party"

if we're gonna get the Rovers, I'd much prefer

How about a little bit of Eleanor McEvoy?
-
pogues better be in there.

Given the direction AL has taken the sets, I'd be shocked if they weren't. But even Dave played the Pogues in a few St. Paddy's sets.
-
I'd be overjoyed if AL played Gilbert O'Sullivan. Seriously. And methinks we'll get some Eva Cassidy.
BTW, I've looked everywhere for green Hostess Sno-Balls (the annual St Pat's treat) to no avail. But I'm pleased to report McDonald's is selling Shamrock Shakes, at least here in SF.

they can't call it a milkshake for legal reasons, but I'd still like to get one....
btw, I can't post to this board from work, but I've been listening as usual each day. Just want to let everyone know I'm lurking! :)

TOTHK: Van & Them, Green "Gloria".

Song #2: no idea

Song #2: no idea
I can't make out a single word. Except "Ulster".
And that's the key. It's "Alternative Ulster" by Stiff Little Fingers. (looked it up)

Well, credit AL for a bustout, then.
I had to google song 3, it's Rory Gallagher, also a bustout: "Walk on Hot Coals"
-
Here's yer Thin Lizzy, but a bustout tune, I'd wager.
Oh, guess not since it's "Whiskey in the Jar". But I'm not familiar with it.
-
BOS T'in Lizzy, "Whiskey in the jar-O" -- I'm still gobsmacked that this came out in early '73 -- I never heard it until I started listening to CG 8 years ago.

-
VHM Waterboys , "Fisherman's Blues" -- inevitable but pleasing nonetheless.
-
It's become a Katrina, I'll admit, but I'll still give BOS to "Fisherman's Blues" since I still have such a strong emotional attachment to it.
-
Song #2: no idea
Are you kidding? You didn't recognize Stiff Little Fingers?
ETA: you have to go back and watch High Fidelity again

High Fidelity aside, they were one of those New Wave bands that got zero airplay on NYC radio.
-
I'll give a BOS to the nice-sounding Sinead, even though "No Mermaid" is just about played out. Great song, though. And I was thinking about this song earlier.
-
BOS2 the *other* Sinead, Lohan. This was a KFOG staple when it was current. Haven't heard it in ages.
-

If it were up to either the Princess or me, the Sinead tune would have been "I Am Stretched On Your Grave". But I've always liked her & this gets a VHM from me.
-
Yay for the Pogues, didn't Dave play this one once?

that was the OTHER Sinead, so your wish is still possible.
BOS3 Pogues, "Dirty Old Town"
-

I guess I just assumed there's a cap on the number of Sinead's in a set, but I did recognize that as Ms. Lohan. I prefer her much more rocking tune, "Whatever It Takes".
Oooh, I guess the cap is TWO Sinead's per set!
-
BOS4 the original Sinead -- this one is NTM but I'm liking it.
-
Well, I'm hoping for some Green Day for this green day.

I'm kinda bored with it.

I don't think I've ever heard "Teenage Kicks", apparently by The Undertones.
-
Woo Hoo! "Teenage Kicks" -- which has officially become AL's personal Katrina, but no matter. BOS5.
-
Well, I'm hoping for some Green Day for this green day.
Not unless they repatriate in a hurry. ;)

Agreed!
Maybe we can get her to play "It's Going To Happen" next time.

Yeah, oh well, it would have counted in my book. :-)
-
Coldplay can slavishly imitate U2's current sound all they want, but they'll never be as good as early Bono-n-the-boyz.

Ooh, Matthew's gonna get some tonight! :P

A decent showing, as I'd expect from AL. Four bustouts (Stiff Little Fingers, Rory Gallagher, and both of the Sineads), five repeats from the DM era, and the Undertones tune, which we know she's played a few times--and can continue doing so as often as she likes, so far as I'm concerned.
Was going to catch the replay, but I got the news about Alex Chilton about 10 minutes to 10, so have been immersed in Big Star and a Bridgeport IPA since then. Life is short.
-
Good to know that Bridgeport is still around, even if Alex Chilton isn't. I don't think I'd seen any of their fine brews in CA for a long time.
