Title: 17 March 2011: it's St. Patrick's Day!
Post by: RGMike on March 16, 2011, 12:34:44 PM: An Irish set? A "green" set? what will it be?

Post by: RGMike on March 16, 2011, 09:54:12 PM: evening deejay Rockwell (whenever I hear him I picture the guy who did "Somebody's Watchin' Me") hinted there'd be a "special" 10@10 but he didn't specifically say what theme. If it's Irish bands I predict AL faves the Undertones. I'll be at an off-site meeting and will have to catch up on the replay. Here's last year's set for comparison:

1. Van Morrison & Them- GLORIA
2. Stiff Little Fingers- Alternative Ulster
3. Rory Gallagher- Walk On Hot Coals (B.O.S!!)
4. Thin Lizzy- Whiskey In The Jar
5. The Waterboys- Fisherman's Blues
6. Sinead Lohan- No Mermaid
7. The Pogues- Dirty Old Town
8. Sinead O'Connor- My Lagan Love
9. The Undertones- Teenage Kicks
10. U2- Out Of Control

I wouldn't mind some John Gary. "How are things in Gloccamora?" would do just fine.

Who's doin' LL Cool J?

Post by: urth on March 17, 2011, 10:15:20 AM: OK, is this Bono or the guy from the Alarm as the male half of this duet? Pretty damn MOR set so far in any case.

Yep. I was thinking "Roky Erickson", but I knew that didn't sound quite right ??? so I looked it up.

Post by: Tinka Cat on March 17, 2011, 10:26:36 AM: BOS Rory Gallagher and this Irish roadhouse bloozy number, Country Mile.

It's NTM... I have a Rory Gallagher DVD at home somewhere. I should trot it out.

(A friend will be seeing the Pogues in NYC tonight... I wish I was in NYC right now at their St Pat's Parade.)

Or maybe the Chieftains w/ Shane? I didn't think it sounded exactly Pogue-like, but then there was McGowan's voice.

Post by: Davefish on March 17, 2011, 10:31:23 AM: I knew Thin Lizzy would be in there somewhere.
Title: Re: 17 March 2011: it's St. Patrick's Day!
Post by: Tinka Cat on March 17, 2011, 10:34:04 AM: here's your Whisky in A Jar. BOS Thin Lizzy, always.

I watched some PSB show where Frank McCourt did a tour of Irish pubs and he recounted how the phrase "whisky in the jar" came about: during WWII glass manufacturing was restricted due to scarcity of materials and energy, so ceramic jam jars were often used at pubs to serve the working class.

ETA: Of course, Frank was pulling our leg. he likes a good story he does.

Seems like the song started long before WWII ever happened, per wikipedia:

The Emporer's New Clothes

guess the Emperor buys his clothes at the Emporium?

ETA: AL just posted a clip of Horslips doing a song called "King of the Fairies". I'm surprised Horslips have even *heard* of Jobriath!
Title: Re: 17 March 2011: it's St. Patrick's Day!
Post by: mshray on March 31, 2011, 10:11:08 AM: fwiw, I would have ID'd the Clannad song, I have the CD & it's really good IMO. There are at least two tracks I like even better than this. I might have gotten Horslips, I still have a couple of theirs on vinyl, but haven't played them in forever.
