This mix goes out to Julie in J-town, PA. That’s right. I said it.
My original plan was to defy FCC regulations and make a play-by-play St. Patrick’s Day debauchery-laden mix while drinking, but this cold/flu thing has waylaid my plans. At any rate, I hope you enjoy this inebrious collage of the Celts and sundry other friends.

I enjoyed this mix very much. Mostly a fun happy drinking mix. However, I must object to the inclusion of Rod Stewart. If I was sitting in a bar drinking and that song came on the jukebox I would find out who played it and jam a swizzle stick in their ear and ask how they liked it. It is an aural equivalent to a WMD targeted against fun.
But isn’t that gut-level of violence just the thing you need when you’re getting way too drunk. The “What kind of asshole puts on Rod Stewart?” question that you shout out loud in mid-drink where you’re ready to kill a yuppie just for interrupting your flow on the Jukebox in your dive bar? Just be thankful I didn’t put in “Love Touch” from Legal Eagles (I thought about it, but it didn’t flow).
Positive effect of this mix though: I’ve been listening to the Pogues since I finished up the mix. You just can’t argue with the Pogues. And if you do, I’ll gut ya.
A St. Patty’s Day mix was a great idea. I might post another one next week if you don’t think that would be too much. I think I can do it without doubling up too much. Though I would of course need to play some Pogues I could very easily pick different Pogues song(s).
How can you have too much Pogues this time of year? You can’t.
BTW – Tossers @ the Metro. $16. $21 with their damned fees. Join us.
You forgot to list The Beer Barrel Polka on the set list.
Otherwise… great set. Really feels like drinking
Dammit! I did miss it. That’s a problem that’s easily fixed though.
Finally caught up with this one…I like it all the way through. The Rod S. song, while an in-bar buzzkill, is the song they might play to clear out the bar, and the one that spurrs the drunken lad on to walk out of the bar, travel to whatever location that the current female with the strongest tug on his reptile brain resides, trudging through wet grass, over sidewalks and cement walls, cutting through an old graveyard, between buildings, mumbling, smoking, spitting, to sway in her yard and ping her window with rocks until she comes down or someone kicks his ass. I really dug the Herb Albert & the Tijuana Brass and British army tunes, and I’d never heard that The The song, which is a great song.
