Dang, that is good.  I'm still kicking myself that I missed them when they played in my neighborhood about a month ago.

I was just listening to my old friend Gloria May singing in Ojibwe.  It's a beautiful song, and I sang this with her every night for a month on stage (in a group) almost a decade ago.  Gloria calls herself a "cyclops beauty" because only one of her eyes works.  It's a pretty weird world when a lady you know lives most of her life really traditionally, in a teepee and the whole deal, is on YouTube singing her heart out.  Then again, I know she had a satellite disk hooked up to her teepee, so I guess she's always been a bit post-modern in her take on traditional living.  She writes these weird, rambling posts on Facebook that I really enjoy too.

That melody, it's so familiar.  It reminds me of a certain pop song, but I can't put my finger on it.  Hold on, it'll come to me.

Is it Seagull?  Hmm... No

At least their name is coolishly offensive?

Also, I'm seeing them tonight- I wonder how many bands you and I have seen a day apart- probably a lot.  Did they play the drop I hold?  I am gonna be yelling for that song so hard.

Yeah, it's too bad the name couldn't belong to a better band.

I'm always optimistic if I see Denver in a tour schedule, but you guys definitely get more shows. Cass McCombs is playing there later this summer, but nothing scheduled here yet.

I've only listened to that album like twice (hadn't heard it before you uploaded it) and I'm terrible with song names, and I was more than a little fucked up last night, so I really couldn't tell you. Just listened to it and they may have, but not sure.

I saw a shit-ton of local bands this time home: Decliners (again), Minty Rosa, The Food, Muddy River Nightmare Band, and Don't (again). All of them were excellent, and I think I'm going to try to have The Food play at my birthday party. On the other hand, there was a band that was just like all those Irish punk bands that don't sound like the Pogues, and another one that was like . . . . I don't know, one of those bands that is supposed to me so intense that they are scary? They both sucked.

For some reason all of the "Irish" stuff just drives me up the wall.

I may talk a harsh game on here, but the whole "we're a band who does a really repetitive "Irish" rhythm and integrates shitty electric guitar in with traditional instruments, and sings about getting wasted and everything has that really forced emotional feeling" thing just drives me nuts more than anything else except maybe lady gaga blaring in my ear at work.

Yeah, the irish fakey protest bullshit that's all singing about getting drunk? Yeah, the Pogues, and then we don't need the rest of you idiots. You aren't in the IRA, you went to Boston College and you're an asshole.

Which bands exactly are we talking about?  I'm not sure I've heard any of them (thankfully).  But I must say, if those bands suck, is it because they are playing Irish music or because they would suck no matter what they were playing?

I was very confused the first time I heard the actual music of the Pogues after years of hearing people talk about them. I didn't quite understand how they're different from the Irish groups that I heard in my long ago folkie days, as far as actual music as opposed to, like, the company they kept or the attitude they liked to project. But I figured that mentioning this would spoil the Pogues for other people, so I kept quiet.

The first band that comes to mind for me is Dropkick Murphys. It occurs to me that I've sort of over-indulged in the "your favorite band sucks" here, so I apologize for that. That band really annoys me for some reason, though - and there are others, but I'll leave it there. (They do seem like they are actually good people, though.)

all of these bands.

there is a similar thread with bands like Uncle Tupelo. Let's take this folk/country music we like, and then put pop-punk guitar over it! We'll sing songs only about really stereotypical topics of that genre!
