I love how they seem to create a world based on themes and images that seems fantastic but at the same time, totally recognizable. I love both cultures, but it's funny to me how they seem to have made one culture out of Scottish and Irish music, dress, expressions, etc.

Thanks for the double promote! Take a look at this if you want more irish! http://videosift.com/video/Best-rock-remix-of-the-ants-go-marching-one-by-one-ever-made

Where's the god damn bodhran?! Irish music without a bodhran drum is anathema!



In all seriousness, that is pretty funny to hear.

Not entirely too 'WTF' - there's a pretty big traditional Irish music community in Japan and other parts of Asia.

God, I haven't heard this song in maybe 30 years. My dad's parents were both from Ireland, so needless to say we heard a lot of Irish music when we were growing up. Brings back some fond memories. promote.


Ta KP!

Electric violins are so cool. I once went to an irish concert that had a wide variety of bands playing both traditional and modern irish music and this one redhead (I'm a sucker for redheads,) comes out with an electric violin and a harp. At first she plays this lovely traditional harp song, was fantastic. Then she says 'I want to do something a bit more.. me.' She pulls out that electric violin and,

BLEW EVERY FREAKING PERSON THERE'S MIND!

Some of my parents records that I liked:

-Herb Alpert - Whipped Cream (I can't tell you how many hours I stared at that album cover)
-Nat King Cole
-John Denver
-Kenny Rogers
-Simon and Garfunkel - Bridge Over Troubled Water - I practically memorized every word to every song on that album, because it had the lyrics on the back
-LOTS of traditional Irish music records. My dad's parents were both from Ireland. The Irish Rovers were one of his favorites.
-Dean Martin

Ditto! Just replace Styx with Jethro Tull and Kansas with Motorhead, Maiden, and Priest. Prior to that it was my parent's records, Fats Domino, Beachboys, and Johnny Cash.

Did you ever have an extension cord for those big puffy cans? I had a 25-foot extension cord for my phones, so that I could wander all over my bedroom while I rocked out on "Glass Houses", my very first vinyl record. Followed by:

2. Styx - Paradise Theatre
3. AC/DC - Back In Black
4. Styx - Grand Illusion
5. Rush - Moving Pictures
6. Pink Floyd - The Wall
7. Van Halen - I
8. Pink Floyd - Dark Side Of The Moon
9. Pink Floyd - Meddle
10. Kansas - Leftoverture
11. Pink Floyd -Wish You Were Here
12. Rush - Permanent Waves

And the rest are kind of blur after that, but those were my first 12 disciples. I'll always remember.

You may be right, I may be crazy.

Nor did I fall asleep every night wearing big puffy headphones with the curly cord listening to an 8-track copy of Songs From the Attic that I bought at Bradlees with my lawn-mowing money. If you ever hear this rumor it is a complete fabrication.
