In honor of St. Patrick's day, here is a great song by the Irish punk band, The Pogues.

Anytime I have to create a user name for something, be it xbox live or twitter or something, I typically use a variation on Blue Eyed Devil. I got this from the Soul Coughing song by the same name. Soul Coughing is one of those bands that people either love or don't get. Mike Doughty's lyrics are like listening to a Dada poem where the rhythm and sound of the word is more important than the meaning itself.

Sorry it's been a while since I last posted anything, but this week has been busy. The past couple of times I closed at work, I listened to Outkast, specifically Aquimini. One of the things I like so much is the intelligent word play Big Boi and Andre use. That and their beats are incredibly catchy without getting annoying after a couple of minutes.

Has anyone seen my face? I seem to have misplaced it after it got rocked off last night at the Flogging Molly show. All three bands were fantastic. The first opener, Sean and Zander were a great bluesy folk band. Sean, the singer,

looks like the love child between Tom Waits

 and Lyle Lovett.

 The Devil Makes Three were as awesome live as I hoped they would be. My favorite song of their set was Aces and Twos.

Plus they have a cute bass player, ask any of my friends and they will tell you that is one of my weaknesses. Flogging Molly opened with Drunken Lullabies and then proceeded to play several songs off of Speed of Darkness. They even dedicated The Powers Out to a fan who was at the Houston show the night before and drove up to Dallas for the show last night and brought a 12 year old bottle of Jameson for the band, even though he was out of a job. As long as Flogging Molly keeps touring, I will continue to go to their shows whenever possible.

I get to see Flogging Molly tonight! This will be the fourth time I have gone to their concert and I have had a blast at each one. Well, except for the time I nearly got in a fight with a drunk asshole. Of all of the concerts I have gone to, Flogging Molly puts on a show so full of energy and passion that none of the others come close to. Not even the Protomen and that is saying something. I typically have a list of songs I hope to hear whenever I go to a concert and tonight is no exception. The one song I really hope to hear tonight is Us of Lesser Gods, probably my favorite song.

Happy Texas Independence Day everyone! Today's song is by the king of the Austin sound, Willie Nelson. For those of you who aren't fortunate enough to have seen Willie Nelson live, you are missing out. The two times I have seen him, he opened with this song and when he did, a giant Texas flag unfurled from the rafters behind the band. It is quite a sight.

I'm going out to the bar with some friends tonight so here is another song off of my drinking playlist. It is on the CD Ghostly Swim which features all of the music used on the bumpers on Adult Swim on Cartoon Network.
