There are many many great bands that I'd say are truly Irish and tons of no name heroes who play the traditional stuff in pubs around world. Obviously there's U2 but just as important to me are The Pogues and The Frames . Both of these bands embody some pretty stunning lyrics and music that really captures this culture of travelers along with the spirited charm of the Irish. Lets not forget songs about the green beer. I remember seeing Glen Hansard the singer for The Frames play [...]

A couple weeks ago, the greatest Nescac lacrosse player to ever live tossed this song on like it was no big deal and told me to put it up on the site as the perfect St. Patty's Day post. I was searching all over for it today and came up completely empty. Fortunately, the lax bro came through in the clutch and sent the Irish anthem over directly. An awesome song all the way around; I'll be listening to this far after today's end. Download: Macklemore & Ryan Lewis - Irish Celebration (Usershare was tweaking [...]

oh yeah! happy st patty's day to everyone. im sure its worse now, but we used to stand, typically frozen, outside of shitty chicago irish bars for hours just to take in the festivities. those festivities would pretty much amount to: lousy service, crappy beer, and being threatened to have ones teeth knocked out for accidentally bumping into a coked up trader. i miss my youth, sometimes, but i dont miss the douchebaggery that runs rampant around this day. if i would have planned ahead i would have scheduled some kind of theme post for the day, [...]

Blog Wars tonite at Debonair Social Club! Featuring tunes by Noise/Floor Crew , Black Holes , Beats & Sirhan . Come celebrate St. Patty's Day as well as Beats' b-day in style. Buy his ass a shot.

The best St. Patty's Day ever. If the luck of the Irish be upon you, you might see our shoulders later. Happy St. Patty's Day! I have a brand new kelly green dress to wear today, client meeting be damned. No green beer for me though. I have some miles to log in the pool and bags to pack once I'm home.

While I don't expect anything to top St. Patty's 2008 in Chicago , I'm heading to that little town across the river for some Hoboken (Week Before) St. Patty's Day on Saturday. Hoboken tends to not disappoint, so as long as I can have some green beer, I'll be quite happy. Still debating about using my free flight and heading to Chicago before it expires next weekend... My day is also going to be overrun by costume changes, most likely outside my car between events. After the green I have to [...]
