[lazarus]

And three of those albums are prob in my all-time Top 25.

(Black Love, Hi-Fi, No Code)

 

[LemonMelon]

Emperor Tomato Ketchup
Richard D James Album

So good. There are lots of good albums on that list, but these go under the radar in B&C.

Wow, Beach House leaked early.

I love Their Satanic Majesites Request.

I just gave blood. Think I'm gonna pass out a little.

 

[LemonMelon]

Wow, Beach House leaked early.

Wow, my weekend was made early.

Emperor Tomato Ketchup

What was it with the 90s and these kitschy band/album names? I keep seeing things like "Archers of Loaf." What the hell is that even supposed to mean?

Shooting bread with bows and arrows?

We had an Irish trivia contest at work today.

One of the questions was "What dance became popular in america in the Early Century?"

I emailed back, "Which century?"

reply: "The First Century."

OK, so First Century in America, but an Irish dance. "Drunken naked Celtic rain dances? I don't think there were any Irish immigrants in the First Century AD."

I did not get a reply.

Mutations is great. Nobody's Fault But My Own is as pretty and moving as anything on Sea Change.

I listened to that song last night. Excellent one indeed .

I too like Mutations.

There's a Guinness shortage in Australia. Not good timing.

I don't care, because it's disgusting.

 

[martha]

I don't care, because it's disgusting.

Finally someone else who understands.

 

[martha]

And my living room and hallway are no longer wrapped in plastic. Yay!

 

[LemonMelon]

Guinness tastes about as awful as it looks. Like they made a dirt flavored beer, with a hint of ass. Drank it in Ireland, draught, and it was still crap.

More power to you if you like it! They seem to be doing alright.

 

[bollox]

Having Guinness for the first time was a massive disappointment. I still don't care much for stouts, but since then I've definitely had better ones.

I've never considered years when assessing albums, but I've heard these from '96 and they're all great.

 

[IWasBored]

I love Their Satanic Majesites Request.

.

I like their satanic majesties second request.

 

[lazarus]

I prefer Murphy's when it comes to Irish Stouts.

A lot smoother, creamier.

 

[Moonlit_Angel]

Hooray for non-plastic covered living rooms, martha !

I've never had Guinness. Doesn't seem I'm missing out, if this discussion is anything to go on .

My thoughts on:

March Madness

How I Met Your Mother Preview - The Bracket - YouTube

That's great.

I would've gone with "12 hours to live" girl, too, based on that clip .

 

[The Sad Punk]

I know a few people who swear by Guinness, but I'm almost positive it's just so they can try to look more Irish. I don't see much reason to have it when Coopers Stout is readily available here, unless you're counting calories.

 

[bono_212]

I like it pretty well

 

[PhilsFan]

I like Irish Car Bombs, but can't say I'm a Guinness fan.

 

[u2popmofo]

can't say I'm a Guinness fan.

What's not to like?

Spoiler

 

[PhilsFan]

Some of my cousins' last name is McGuinness. He's ruining it for us.

Happy St. Patrick's Day, you guys. It's days like this where I say, "Hey, I'm 100 percent Irish, and that doesn't mean anything."

 

[cobl04]

I like Irish car bombs

Insensitive.

This made me think of the "fuck the revolution" speech. How awesome is that? Great version of SBS.

next you're going to tell me people outside of ireland actually say feck without a hint of irony.

It's st Patrick's day? Otherwise known as the day where I pretend I hate the dropkick murphys and tell people "hey, I don't care how much of your family is from Ireland, if you were born here you're American, not Irish."

I made a gentle comment about how calling a recipe/drink "Irish Car Bomb" was insensitive on my sister-in-law's Facebook (she posted a cupcake recipe with that name), and after some harmless back and forth, one of her friends was all "I'm Irish, and I'm not offended!"

You're not fucking Irish, you're American, and I will bet you $100 that you don't have any even-remotely-distant family members who lost someone due to a car bomb. So shut up.

(not directed at PFan, because PFan does not annoy me, and this girl's family is not completely Irish like PFan's. Seriously, annoying Wisconsinite, you don't speak for everyone. I hate that. Just because you don't find it insensitive doesn't mean that others don't.)

Anyway!

Never thought I'd hear the Seattle Symphony playing an arrangement of Muse's "Endlessly," but it was pretty boss. Renee Fleming is the fricking bomb. (not the Irish kind)

And I think "O Mio Babbino Caro" must be like her version of "Streets." She has to sing it, or the crowd goes home pissed.
