This year, I updated my Irish music playlist to also include non-trad Irish musicians, copped first from my memory (Pogues, Stiff Little Fingers, My Bloody Valentine), then from a completist list compiled at brinkster.com. When added to everything labeled Celtic/Irish like
“The Well Below The Valley” (Planxty)
Bothy Band
“1975: The First Album” (The Bothy Band)
etc., the playlist (Celtic Groove) contains over 1000 songs - over 68 hours worth. Cool.
Some of this music I listen to regularly already -
- but some only gets trotted out on occasion (or via the randomizer seed on my iPod).
I don't think I'll be participating in any displays of public drunkenness; I have mostly outgrown the need to sing on street corners, and I'm sort of an introvert anyway, thus you probably won't see photos like this of me....
(some drinkers accosted me on Saturday with plaintive cries to have their photo taken, since I was strolling with camera around my neck like I am wont to do)
Planning on going to the Warhol opening anyway.
