  Speaker 4: Crazy? Man? Just uh just hang out here. Yeah.
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: That sounds really sad, but I really enjoyed our our
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: theme song today, so I used AI and the prompt
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: I gave it was, I want you to tell I
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: wanted to be like an Irish folk song with a
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: male singer of an Irish accent, and I want you
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: to tell a story of me and my friend Ryan
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: and our friend Irish show Potato, which I think is
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: actually was Ireland Do Potato.
• 4:01
  Speaker 5: When I was.
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: Even worse, you said, what's the name of that Irish
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: person like on the pod like a year ago, and
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: I said, Ireland do Potato. And I said, I want
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: us to find a leprechaun, fight a leprechaun, defeat them,
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: and then in the celebrations we drink gonsters, and I explained,
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: get us a monster. And if you listen to the song,
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: you'll hear the lyric Guinness with a lightning glow and
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: then finally, at the end of the night, after we've
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: drank a lot, Ryan and I start to make out
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: and that's included in the song as well. So for
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: the listeners out there, I want you to carefully I'm
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: gonna play it again, probably at the end of this
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: podcast series, but I really want you to carefully listen
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: to the words because it's important.
• 4:47
  Speaker 5: I like the inclusion of Gonster. That's good.
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: So today we are doing a podcast. It was we're
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: continuing our Saint Patrick's Day series. Well we started this
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: two years ago.
• 5:04
  Speaker 5: Wow, Chuckie, I think so right.
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: Yeah, we did the win that shakes the Barley. Then
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: last year if we did but which I was shocked
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: that Kevin enjoyed. It was in the Name of the Father.
• 5:16
  Speaker 5: We did New York the year before. In between New York, Yeah.
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: Yes, with Pap and John. I forgot that was for
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: Saint Patrick's Day. So this is our fourth one. Last
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: year was I actually texted Kevin recently. I said, uh
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: uh dah, I want to stick things in your boom dah.
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: You can't stick things in boom Jery monsoon because Kevin
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: was surprisingly a fan of that. But Kevin, wait, was
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: it you or Kevin. I sent that to and they responded,
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: even in prison, was that you Kevin? I must have
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: been Kevin, he said, Even in prison, they can't do that.
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: But this year we're doing. My logic is like, this
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: is the most self indulgent, niche thing that would really
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: only fly if it was like a me pick for
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: our anniversary pod. But my excuse is that this is
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: for Saint Patrick's Day, and why would anyone listen to this? Well,
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: if somebody asked me, why would anyone listen to this?
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: We don't know. The pogues aren't like relevant in twenty
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: twenty six, and we don't listen, I would say, first
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: of all, shut up, and second, you can make a
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: really great Saint Patrick's Day playlist based on this podcast
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: you're listening to, right.
• 6:27
  Speaker 4: Okay, Yeah, that's true. I also like saying shut up
• 6:29
  Speaker 4: to one of four listeners. That's a good idea.
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: What I've been trying to do over a long period
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: of time, which Ryan I know you've picked up on,
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: is alienate more and more people in my life.
• 6:40
  Speaker 4: Absolutely, that's definitely been a theme. Yeah, So this was
• 6:43
  Speaker 4: my birthday push away.
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: It was my birthday last weekend and Ryan in his
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: car I wrote, we're all worried about you. I appreciated that, so.
• 6:54
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I wrote, you're losing us.
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: Oh, you're losing us, You're losing us. That as actually
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: even better. That's even better because it's beyond we're all
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: worried about you. It's like I express worry previously and
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: you ignored it. And now we're at the next step, which.
• 7:08
  Speaker 4: Is you're always there's dectly much more outreaches anymore.
• 7:13
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah. So we're doing a pogues tournament for Saint
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: Patrick's Day and you agree to do this, is your
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: exposure to the Pogues, like only through me?
• 7:30
  Speaker 4: Only yeah, from like when you I think like an
• 7:32
  Speaker 4: seven or eight I think it was then, yes, but yeah,
• 7:37
  Speaker 4: only through that and then kind of like a lot
• 7:40
  Speaker 4: of things like you notice them later.
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, because I think that, Like it's it's kind
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: of weird how I had only discovered them in the
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: two thousands and they've been around since the eighties. But
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: like they're not an obscure band. I mean, they were
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: the musical guests on SNL. They're one of their lead
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: singers after Shame of Going Left was Joe Strummer. Ellis
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: Costello produced their albums and married a member of the band.
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: They've worked with, you know, Shinead O'Connor and just like
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: really mainstream artists. But I feel like because they's such
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: a subgenre of a subgenre, that they're basically the original
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: Irish punk band. Like when I say Irish punk band,
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: I don't mean a punk band that's Irish. I mean
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: like drop Kick Murphy's, Flogging Molly, the Tossers, the Gobshites.
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: They all play a punk version of traditional Irish folk
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: music and the Popes were basically the first people to
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: ever do that.
• 8:38
  Speaker 4: Wow.
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: So yeah, before me sending you this playlist, how familiar
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: or were you with these songs?
• 8:48
  Speaker 4: Not all of them, quite a few of them, but
• 8:51
  Speaker 4: not all of them? Right, Roses from Me is an
• 8:55
  Speaker 4: album that's super familiar with I mostly know if I
• 8:58
  Speaker 4: should fall from Grace with God and Rumshot, I mean
• 9:00
  Speaker 4: the lash yep yeah, But and then a lot of
• 9:07
  Speaker 4: the Shame Ofgown and the Pope stuff. I think because
• 9:11
  Speaker 4: you had made a a CD to date this horribly
• 9:15
  Speaker 4: in seven or eight for Paul and they made a
• 9:17
  Speaker 4: copy from Me, so I had a lot of them
• 9:19
  Speaker 4: from that, but it was just weird over time. How
• 9:25
  Speaker 4: many of them would appear like you kind of hear
• 9:29
  Speaker 4: them in movies and stuff like that. Very not like
• 9:32
  Speaker 4: a soundtrack like montage the song, but you kind of
• 9:35
  Speaker 4: hear them in the background of movies. Like it's a
• 9:37
  Speaker 4: big thing in State of Grace. I think, I think
• 9:40
  Speaker 4: White City is since State of Grace. But yeah, so
• 9:45
  Speaker 4: not a ton A lot of.
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: These songs are like randomly pop up. Like for example,
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: if I should Fall from Grace with God was in
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: an STUV commercial like four years ago and I was
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: just watching it and it's a family after soccer practice
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: like hopping in a super yes, And I was like, what,
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: that's awesome, But yeah this So. The Pogues are a
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: band of Irish people who were living in England. They
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: were active from eighty two to ninety six, then broke up.
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: Shane McGowan and the lead singer was kicked out of
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: the band. They reformed and toured from two thousand and
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: one to twenty fourteen, and uh, they stopped because several
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: members are dead, like Philip Shevron died, Shae McGowan was
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: in very poor health, so they stopped touring and then
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: Shane McGowan later died, which we did a podcast about
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: a couple of years ago. But I think that like
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: a very important thing about the Pogues is they're an
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: English band, like formed in London, that is, all Irish
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: immigrants playing Irish music, because like the concept of the diaspora,
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: that the Pogues wouldn't exist in Ireland, like an Irish
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: band in Ireland would not so heavily be influenced by
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: Irish folk music. And I think that the reason, like
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: people listen to Irish folk music when they leave Ireland
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: and they're nostalgic for Ireland, you know what I mean,
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: Like Irish kids don't grow up and listen to Irish
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: folk music and then like continue to listen to it
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: in their twenties and thirties because that's like almost corny
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: or cliche or for your grandparents if you're like in
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: Ireland all the time and you're part of the culture.
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: Like I was just talking to a friend and I
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: made a buffy reference, but they asked me, do you
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: eat corn, beef and cabbage for Saint Patrick's Day? My
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: cats are getting in a fight. They're probably drunk for
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: Saint Patrick's say, And do you eat corn beef and
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: cabbage for Saint Patrick's Day, And I said, that's like
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: a vampire celebrating Halloween, Like why would you if Halloween
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: is every day? Why celebrate Halloween on Halloween? So I
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: think it's kind of like corny for our ghost, for
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: an Irish American to have corn beef and cabbage on
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: Saint Patrick's Day. So I think that, yeah, like Irish.
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: When I was studied abroad in Ireland, no Irish people
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: listen to traditional Irish music or the Poges. It only
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: exists and they're really popular in the United States and
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: England and Australia where these people, these Irish families have
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: left and like miss it. And that's sort of how
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: the band came to be and how they were so
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: inspired by traditional Irish music because seam Agohan growing up
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: split his time between like rural Tipperary in Ireland, which
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: was like the most hardcore, thatched roof stereotypical existence possible,
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: and then the other half of the year he would
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: be in urban London. So I think that that contrast
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: helped sort of develop what they're about. But I think
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: that there's so many reasons I love the Pogues. I
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: love traditional Irish music, I love punk love. I think
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: Seamaghan is one of the greatest songwriters who ever lived.
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: I love how unique his voice is, and I also
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: love the chaos of everything the Pokes were, like, their alcoholism,
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: their songs about drinking, the drug use of Shane McGowan.
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: I there was an article that some guy wrote about shaemagoing.
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: I think we talked about it when he died, but
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: it was basically like shamee ugoing makes Keith Richards look
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: like a pussy. And you know, a lot of the
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: Pogues stopped drinking because they all had alcohol problems, and
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: they stopped drinking later in life. Shane never did. Shane
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: drank until he died, which is kind of remarkable and
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: admirable in a twisted way. But many of them are dead.
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: I think there's only three that I'm aware of that
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: are still alive, one being Spider Stacy, who is the
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: tin whistle player who sings a couple of songs that well,
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: we'll get into. But yeah, so what are your experience
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: with them, knowledge of them before having this playlist, or
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: any any thoughts he wanted to add to what I
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: just said.
• 13:58
  Speaker 4: Nothing like really too in depth in terms of like
• 14:00
  Speaker 4: adding to your experience with them, just we're kind of
• 14:03
  Speaker 4: like present ever being like after being introduced to them.
• 14:08
  Speaker 4: I do think not on this list of songs, but
• 14:13
  Speaker 4: I think Rainy Night and Soho is fucking incredible.
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: Okay, So I actually forgot to include that when I
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: made My life, so I no, so I am including
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: it because that was just like I personally made this
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: list and it was just a mental lapse by me.
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: So it is included in the list.
• 14:29
  Speaker 5: I apologize, Okay, never mind, Okay, but yeah.
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: Because let me put it this way, Rainey Knight and
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: Soho has a music video. So there's probably only like
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: ten songs they have that actually have music videos, and
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: one of them is Rainia Night and Soho. So that's
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: a very important song. Yeah, Okay, I wanted to give
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: a shout out to a couple of things I included.
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: So the way that I went about this list, I
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: did not include fairy Tale of New York because again,
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: it's song. It'll be distracting because like I would think
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: it should win or maybe not, but just didn't. Yeah,
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: it's just not there's no point. It's like how we
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: excluded Home Alone from the Christmas tournament. Yeah, and also,
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: you know, there are bands that have a lot of covers,
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: like we discovered in the Sublime tournament, that Sublime has
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: a lot of covers, like some of their famous songs
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: are covers that you like, don't even knew, didn't even
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: know were covers. So, because the Pogues are so heavily
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: influenced by traditional Irish music, a lot of their songs,
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: their popular songs, are covers of traditional Irish music. So
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: at first I thought I should exclude those, but there's
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: so many and some of them are so good. So
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: the way I went about it as I included one, two, three, four, five, six,
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: seventy nine, ten, ten traditional Irish songs, eighteen original Pogue songs,
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: and then I included four songs that were not the
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: Pogues because I thought that they very relevant to this
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: tournament and very good. One of them is a dropkick
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: Murphy's song featuring Shaemug Going, and then three of them
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: are songs that Seama Going and the popes. So Seamagan
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: got kicked out of the band and for drug use
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: and all drinking and a lot of other issues. He says,
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: he quit. They said they kicked him out. I don't know,
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: and he went and formed the Popes, which is like
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: hilarious because it sounds exactly like the Pogues. So the
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: Popes was his band after the Pogues in the nineties,
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: and they had a handful of really good songs. So
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: I included three of their songs on here, even though
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: it's technically not the Pogues. And Joe Strummer, who is
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: the lead singer of the Clash. If you don't know
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: the class, you should, but London calling I fought the law.
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: He's a very famous singer. He he had he was
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: the front man of the Popes after Seama going left,
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: I did not clude. I did not include anything from
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: after Shane left because I thought that there's I just
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: didn't deserve to be in there.
• 17:04
  Speaker 4: True, I did not know that. Did they record an
• 17:07
  Speaker 4: album with him with Joe Strummer?
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: I believe they did. I can tell you right now
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: because pog the Pogues discography. Okay, hold on one second,
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna I'm gonna fact check this. I'm gonna pause,
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: all right or back? So I answer Ryan's question. They
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: released two albums without Shanemu going Waiting for Urb in
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: ninety three and Pogue mahone in ninety six, and neither
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: had shame of going or Joe Strummer. There was Spider
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: Stacy was the lead vocalist, who's the tin mustle player.
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: But they did work with Joe Strummer. He was the
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: lead singer after Shammgin's exit, but they never recorded a
• 17:57
  Speaker 1: full album.
• 18:01
  Speaker 5: How does it sound? What do you think of it?
• 18:02
  Speaker 4: With him?
• 18:03
  Speaker 5: Like this stuff with.
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: Him just weird, Like his voice is so different.
• 18:10
  Speaker 4: It's I was curious if it's kind of like the
• 18:13
  Speaker 4: idea of like Audio Slave, where like the band is
• 18:15
  Speaker 4: raging against the machine, but the lead singer is Chris Cornell.
• 18:19
  Speaker 4: Were like, it's just kind of like thing you think
• 18:21
  Speaker 4: wouldn't work but actually kind of does. Yeah, should say
• 18:24
  Speaker 4: kind of it does.
• 18:25
  Speaker 1: But yeah, that's a that's a good point. I forgot
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: about that about Audio Slave.
• 18:35
  Speaker 4: Wow, what No, just it was. I opened this can
• 18:38
  Speaker 4: and it was just really really loud. I was looking
• 18:42
  Speaker 4: at also the musicians on these albums too, and they
• 18:45
  Speaker 4: work with a lot of actual like composers out there too,
• 18:50
  Speaker 4: Like Waiting for he Is Michael Brooke, who did the
• 18:54
  Speaker 4: score to the original Into the Wild and then they
• 18:59
  Speaker 4: have Jos on the first one in the series, the
• 19:02
  Speaker 4: first one of the of the saga. And then they
• 19:04
  Speaker 4: work with Jocelyn Poop who did a lot of the
• 19:06
  Speaker 4: music for Aswhite Chuck.
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: Johncelyn Poop poop p oh okay, oh okay, all right,
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: yeah it was poop.
• 19:14
  Speaker 4: She changed it.
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: Good. That's that's good.
• 19:18
  Speaker 5: They made her change it. She insisted she keep poop
• 19:21
  Speaker 5: and they were like, we can't do it.
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: That's uh, this is why people listen. It is for
• 19:25
  Speaker 1: these kind of jokes. All right, we're just gonna get started.
• 19:31
  Speaker 1: Happy Saint Pat say to you all. Okay. Oh and yeah,
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: so honorable mentions. I had a couple I wanted to mention. Haunted,
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: which is his duet with Snead O'Connor that didn't make
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: the list. And do you know that song I do Victoria,
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: which is a song he wrote about his later wife,
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: The Old Triangle, which is a traditional Irish folk song
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: about being in prison. Greenland Whale Fisheries is about being
• 19:59
  Speaker 1: on a ailing boat. The Wild Rover, which you know
• 20:02
  Speaker 1: people know is no Nay never for it's no name never.
• 20:08
  Speaker 1: Where's gonna be a lot of singing. Ryan By the way,
• 20:10
  Speaker 1: but on my side it's okay, the Parting Glass, which
• 20:13
  Speaker 1: is a great traditional Iris song, and then some original
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: polk songs that didn't make it. Fiesta, which is in Spanish,
• 20:23
  Speaker 1: USA and Dark Streets of London love Fiesta.
• 20:27
  Speaker 4: There's also one missing that I love. I get why
• 20:30
  Speaker 4: it's not on here, but it's on Sayonara is Summer
• 20:33
  Speaker 4: in Siam.
• 20:34
  Speaker 5: I absolutely love Summer and Siam.
• 20:36
  Speaker 1: Really okay because Summers I am. I just couldn't include
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: it because it's literally just one sentence, one hundred.
• 20:41
  Speaker 4: Times it's That's that's why I just think it's it's
• 20:44
  Speaker 4: like just I love it.
• 20:46
  Speaker 5: I think it's so good.
• 20:48
  Speaker 1: But both Fiesta and Summer and Sam have music videos.
• 20:52
  Speaker 4: Yes, I should say it's not on side. No is
• 20:55
  Speaker 4: that album?
• 20:56
  Speaker 1: Is that that Hell's Ditch, Hell's Ditch.
• 20:58
  Speaker 5: Health's Okay? Sorry, I was singing the title.
• 20:59
  Speaker 1: Of Life's a Bitch Then you Die Okay. The first
• 21:06
  Speaker 1: up is a very heavy hitter Body of an American,
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: which is heavily featured on the Wire. The Pogues are
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: featured on the Wire quite a bit, and it's up
• 21:20
  Speaker 1: against the Star of the County Down, which is a
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: traditional Irish song, and it's also sung by I believe
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: their drummer. It's like the only song he sings really really, Yeah,
• 21:33
  Speaker 1: so I did. I did. Like I'm gonna ask who
• 21:38
  Speaker 1: sings Star of the County Down, so I would go
• 21:42
  Speaker 1: a Body of an American. Same yeah for the Pogues.
• 21:49
  Speaker 1: So we'll we'll talk about Body of an American and
• 21:52
  Speaker 1: its significance with the wire. We can talk about that later, Okay. Yeah,
• 22:04
  Speaker 1: So it's sung by Andrew Rankin and you said he
• 22:06
  Speaker 1: just passed away this year.
• 22:08
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 22:08
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's very sad. I'm sorry to hear that, but
• 22:14
  Speaker 1: the Body of an American is definitely making its way through.
• 22:21
  Speaker 1: Star of the County Down is a traditional Irish ballad
• 22:24
  Speaker 1: about a sweet Colleen, which means a girl. So I
• 22:29
  Speaker 1: just I enjoy how the singer is unique, how it's
• 22:34
  Speaker 1: not shame of going. He has a very distinct voice,
• 22:36
  Speaker 1: and I like the song in general. So, but if
• 22:40
  Speaker 1: you look at it on Spotify, there's a lot of
• 22:43
  Speaker 1: different versions of it, because again it's a traditional Irish
• 22:46
  Speaker 1: ballad from what year, eighteen sixty six? Yeah wow in
• 22:58
  Speaker 1: Bembridgetown and near the County Down. Yeah, Drena boring and
• 23:04
  Speaker 1: green came as sweet Colleen as she smiled as she
• 23:06
  Speaker 1: passed me by. Anyways, okay, body of an American is
• 23:10
  Speaker 1: making its way through alright. The next one is also
• 23:14
  Speaker 1: a traditional Irish song. It is Waxy's Dargle.
• 23:20
  Speaker 5: I like that.
• 23:21
  Speaker 1: I love waxies Dargle. Spider Stacey, who's the tin whistle player,
• 23:25
  Speaker 1: is featured in the the chorus. So, and it is
• 23:33
  Speaker 1: against Cionara, which is an original polk song. So the
• 23:38
  Speaker 1: reason I included Cionara is because Andy Kelly told me
• 23:42
  Speaker 1: one one day, he told me it was his favorite
• 23:44
  Speaker 1: polk song.
• 23:47
  Speaker 5: It's a really I like that. I like it a lot.
• 23:50
  Speaker 1: It makes references to Japanese culture. Yeah, it is a
• 23:55
  Speaker 1: nice beat.
• 23:56
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 23:57
  Speaker 1: I like the chorus. I gotta go actually startle.
• 24:02
  Speaker 4: I do too. I love the energy of it is great.
• 24:07
  Speaker 5: Just a great name, just a fucking great name.
• 24:09
  Speaker 1: Yeah, well we can again. We'll discuss that in greater
• 24:11
  Speaker 1: detail later. But that's a fantastic cover, one of their
• 24:15
  Speaker 1: best covers by far.
• 24:17
  Speaker 4: Also like sign Hour for being a later album in there,
• 24:21
  Speaker 4: kind of like run yep. Pretty impressive.
• 24:28
  Speaker 1: So you're talking about Hell's Ditch the album or just specifically.
• 24:30
  Speaker 4: The song or I keep saying, keep saying this, I
• 24:33
  Speaker 4: keep for fucking this up. Hell's ditch the album. Yeah,
• 24:36
  Speaker 4: it's their last one with Jane McGowan. It's nineteen ninety,
• 24:39
  Speaker 4: so it's like fifth album in Wow.
• 24:43
  Speaker 1: Yeah. So like I think that a lot of bands
• 24:46
  Speaker 1: do this. So Red Roses for Me is like a
• 24:49
  Speaker 1: great early album where the band hasn't hit their peak yet.
• 24:53
  Speaker 1: And then Rumsawomy in the Lash is when they exploded
• 24:57
  Speaker 1: and everybody was like, oh my god, this album is amazing.
• 24:59
  Speaker 1: And then if I should Fall from Grace with God,
• 25:02
  Speaker 1: was that like definitive mainstream success like rum I mean,
• 25:06
  Speaker 1: the last was always really good and popular, but then
• 25:10
  Speaker 1: if I should Fall from Grace with God, which had
• 25:12
  Speaker 1: Fairytale of New York on it, that was like, Okay,
• 25:14
  Speaker 1: they're completely in the mainstream. They're like on Saturday Night Live.
• 25:19
  Speaker 1: And then it just went downhill from there. So I
• 25:20
  Speaker 1: would say if I Should Fall from Grace with God
• 25:23
  Speaker 1: was their last like peak album, but every album after
• 25:26
  Speaker 1: that had very solid pieces.
• 25:29
  Speaker 4: Red Roses for Me hell of a debut album too. Honestly,
• 25:32
  Speaker 4: I was actually listening. I listened to the entire thing
• 25:35
  Speaker 4: today too, because I was like, I really had not
• 25:37
  Speaker 4: known a lot of it, but I was like, wow,
• 25:38
  Speaker 4: there's a lot of great shit on here too.
• 25:42
  Speaker 1: Yeah. I love Red Roses for me. I think Red
• 25:45
  Speaker 1: Roses for me beginning with trans Metropolitan too, which is
• 25:48
  Speaker 1: also on the Wire. Great opening song, and yeah, I
• 25:53
  Speaker 1: love the energy of Red Roses for me. It's a
• 25:55
  Speaker 1: lot of covers of folk songs, so maybe it's like
• 25:59
  Speaker 1: we can buy that, but they're all really good.
• 26:03
  Speaker 4: I get the mentality because it seemed to be half
• 26:04
  Speaker 4: and half. It was like half traditional half to their own.
• 26:07
  Speaker 4: And I think it's a smart move for a first album,
• 26:08
  Speaker 4: kind of be like here's our version of this and
• 26:10
  Speaker 4: then here's our own stuff.
• 26:11
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 26:12
  Speaker 4: Yeah. Also, great title, the title.
• 26:16
  Speaker 5: I think it's really.
• 26:16
  Speaker 1: Funny for Red Roses from here, Hell's Ditch.
• 26:19
  Speaker 4: Yeah, Red Roses from Me. I think it's really funny.
• 26:21
  Speaker 5: I don't know why.
• 26:22
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I agree Rumadom in the Lash Fantastic album cover,
• 26:29
  Speaker 1: Hell's Ditch Fantastic album cover.
• 26:32
  Speaker 5: Yes, Peace and Love?
• 26:34
  Speaker 4: Is that someone significant? That boxer?
• 26:37
  Speaker 1: I have no idea who that boxer is. It's on
• 26:39
  Speaker 1: the cover of Peace and Love.
• 26:41
  Speaker 4: I yeah, Jamie, pull that up.
• 26:51
  Speaker 1: That's a reference to Joe Rogan. Uh yeah, I don't.
• 26:57
  Speaker 5: I can't see anything about the actual cover, the photo itself.
• 27:00
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's like an old timey boxer from you know.
• 27:06
  Speaker 4: It was also the cool move to not have the
• 27:08
  Speaker 4: title of the album on the cover either, just as
• 27:10
  Speaker 4: Pogues and not have the name on it.
• 27:13
  Speaker 1: Well, isn't it on his knuckles?
• 27:16
  Speaker 4: Is?
• 27:16
  Speaker 5: Oh?
• 27:16
  Speaker 4: It is? I don't even see that.
• 27:18
  Speaker 1: Okay, wow, but it's like barely there. Yeah, okay. The
• 27:25
  Speaker 1: next two I pulled out is Dirty Old Town, which
• 27:29
  Speaker 1: is a cover for you one, and Lullaby of London,
• 27:33
  Speaker 1: which I love.
• 27:36
  Speaker 5: I would go Dirty old Town personally, Yeah.
• 27:40
  Speaker 1: So I would probably so. Dirty old Town was originally
• 27:44
  Speaker 1: from nineteen forty nine and it's been covered by the Dubliners,
• 27:48
  Speaker 1: the Spinners, the Pogues, and mister Rod Stewart. Rod Stewart
• 27:54
  Speaker 1: way to take like a Rod Stewart has repeatedly taken
• 27:57
  Speaker 1: a great song and like done a word cover. For example,
• 28:03
  Speaker 1: Downtown Train. Oh yeah, we love the original song, and
• 28:07
  Speaker 1: there's a really good cover by everything but the Girl,
• 28:09
  Speaker 1: I think is what it's called fantastic, fantastic cover. But
• 28:14
  Speaker 1: Rosterer's cover of Downtown Train sucks, and that is by
• 28:19
  Speaker 1: I'm blanking what's his name to Tom Waits. Yep, the
• 28:22
  Speaker 1: guy the Joker's voice from The Dark Knight. Okay, so
• 28:26
  Speaker 1: dirty old Town Lalla by London, I'm gonna go with
• 28:29
  Speaker 1: I would I'm on the fence. You said dirty old town,
• 28:32
  Speaker 1: so I'm gonna go with dirty old town. Well by
• 28:34
  Speaker 1: have London. I remember there's the song opens as I
• 28:40
  Speaker 1: walked down by the riverside one evening in the spring,
• 28:44
  Speaker 1: and I was listening to that song like walking by
• 28:47
  Speaker 1: myself in Ireland by a river, and I was This
• 28:50
  Speaker 1: is in two thousand and seven, and I just remember
• 28:53
  Speaker 1: thinking like this is just fucking great, like I'm in
• 28:56
  Speaker 1: Ireland by myself walking along a river listening to Shane
• 29:01
  Speaker 1: McAllen sing about walking along a river, really really beautiful song.
• 29:07
  Speaker 5: Ireland planned it, Yeah, Ireland did plan it.
• 29:10
  Speaker 4: Ireland potato plant it.
• 29:12
  Speaker 1: Yeah, although it's obviously not a song about Ireland because
• 29:14
  Speaker 1: it's called Wallaby of London, but true.
• 29:18
  Speaker 4: Okay.
• 29:19
  Speaker 1: Next pairing is okay, okay, this is easy for me,
• 29:33
  Speaker 1: bottle of smoke versus The band played Waltzing Matilda, which
• 29:39
  Speaker 1: is both of these songs are incredible.
• 29:42
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 29:43
  Speaker 1: The band played waltson Matilda is a traditional Australian folk song.
• 29:48
  Speaker 5: Yes, because they referenced Gallipoli lys.
• 29:51
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, so the band played waltson Matilda. It is
• 29:56
  Speaker 1: eight minutes long, but I include because I was like,
• 30:01
  Speaker 1: I think, I think Ryan will appreciate this. So this
• 30:07
  Speaker 1: was first written in Oh Okay, so it's it's much
• 30:10
  Speaker 1: more recent than I thought it was. It was first
• 30:12
  Speaker 1: written in nineteen seventy one, but it's uh. It talks
• 30:16
  Speaker 1: about the Gallipoli Campaign in World War One and Australia.
• 30:20
  Speaker 1: It's basically tells the story of well, if you recall
• 30:23
  Speaker 1: do you want to recap briefly what the story is.
• 30:26
  Speaker 4: Pretty much being it's being what do they call it,
• 30:30
  Speaker 4: not necessarily drafted, but being like I want an opportunity
• 30:34
  Speaker 4: to quot hole be successful, so that what do they say,
• 30:37
  Speaker 4: you like, put.
• 30:37
  Speaker 5: On a tin hat and get a gun.
• 30:40
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 30:40
  Speaker 4: And then well it was like it's almost like you're
• 30:42
  Speaker 4: being promised like a future with this.
• 30:45
  Speaker 1: It reminded me very much of all quite on the
• 30:47
  Speaker 1: Western Front.
• 30:48
  Speaker 4: Yes, you're being sent straight to hell pretty much, and
• 30:51
  Speaker 4: there's this is not gonna be great for anybody.
• 30:54
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and he it's about a guy who goes to battle,
• 30:58
  Speaker 1: loses his legs and an e plosion, and then he
• 31:02
  Speaker 1: returns home and there's some like Veterans Day parade and uh,
• 31:08
  Speaker 1: he's in it and people are cheering for him, and
• 31:11
  Speaker 1: he was like, this is all pointless and I wish
• 31:13
  Speaker 1: I was dead. So it's a really upbeat song. But
• 31:16
  Speaker 1: my favorite line in the song is in a big
• 31:19
  Speaker 1: Turk is shell knocked me ass over tits. The line
• 31:24
  Speaker 1: assover tits for like toppling over I'd never heard before.
• 31:29
  Speaker 1: And it's against Bottle of Smoke, which, well, I'll let
• 31:33
  Speaker 1: you you tell me which which is gonna make it.
• 31:35
  Speaker 5: In your opinion, I would go with Walton Matilda. To
• 31:38
  Speaker 5: be honest with you, I love both of these, but
• 31:40
  Speaker 5: I like that one more.
• 31:42
  Speaker 1: Okay, I'm gonna go with Bottle of Smoke, and I'm
• 31:45
  Speaker 1: gonna push I'm gonna push Bottle of Smoke through, just
• 31:48
  Speaker 1: just as because last time when we were gonna tie,
• 31:50
  Speaker 1: I was like, I'm just gonna go with Ryan's choice
• 31:53
  Speaker 1: because I do feel very strongly about Bottle of Smoke.
• 31:57
  Speaker 1: Both it's great, but yeah, so Bampa Watson, we told
• 32:00
  Speaker 1: it is fantastic and it tells a great story.
• 32:04
  Speaker 4: Yeah, very respective.
• 32:06
  Speaker 1: In its imagery of why War is.
• 32:09
  Speaker 4: Awful and very good at like, I think showing their
• 32:13
  Speaker 4: versatility of like, so many of the songs are so quick,
• 32:17
  Speaker 4: you know, quick but concise, and then having these kind
• 32:20
  Speaker 4: of slower songs just start are justice good in my opinion.
• 32:25
  Speaker 1: Yeah, And I think that they're so versatile as a
• 32:28
  Speaker 1: band because they have very fast, aggressive punk songs and
• 32:31
  Speaker 1: then they have very slow songs and both of them
• 32:34
  Speaker 1: are and they use so many instruments. I mean it's
• 32:37
  Speaker 1: varied how many members are in the band, but at
• 32:40
  Speaker 1: one point, if you look at the cover, if I
• 32:43
  Speaker 1: should fall from grace with God, if I should Okay,
• 32:48
  Speaker 1: So that's an eight nineteen eighty eight album. There's one, two, three, four, five,
• 32:53
  Speaker 1: six seven members of the band and Cato Reardon had left,
• 32:57
  Speaker 1: so she was the eighth member of the band. But
• 32:59
  Speaker 1: they had tin whistle, guitar, bass, banjo, accordion, drum, harmonica, piano.
• 33:10
  Speaker 1: It's like they have a lot of Yeah, it's a
• 33:15
  Speaker 1: versatilele man.
• 33:17
  Speaker 4: And they have also additional personnelity. It's like twenty more people, yes,
• 33:21
  Speaker 4: like trumpet players, sax players, additional vocals, the choir. It's
• 33:27
  Speaker 4: kind of amazing.
• 33:27
  Speaker 5: Too.
• 33:28
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Fiesa has saxophone and his trombone. Yeah, so, okay,
• 33:34
  Speaker 1: this is fitting another Australian folk song, South Australia versus
• 33:40
  Speaker 1: You're the One, which is You're the One is one
• 33:44
  Speaker 1: of the Pope's songs. It is a duet and it
• 33:47
  Speaker 1: was the feature song from the movie Circle of Friends
• 33:51
  Speaker 1: starring Chris O'Donnell and Minnie Driver.
• 33:53
  Speaker 4: Yeah. Yeah, a popular movie at the time.
• 33:57
  Speaker 1: It was it is a great cast I'm gonna pull
• 33:59
  Speaker 1: up or couple of Friends. But I included South Australia
• 34:03
  Speaker 1: because I like the song. It's also the only song
• 34:08
  Speaker 1: in this tournament that is sung by Spider Stacey, who
• 34:10
  Speaker 1: is their tin whistle player who was the lead singer
• 34:13
  Speaker 1: after Shane left.
• 34:16
  Speaker 4: Okay, okay, it definitely sounded When I was listening to
• 34:20
  Speaker 4: the list today, I was like, Okay, it definitely sounded different,
• 34:23
  Speaker 4: and I always meant to look up who it was.
• 34:24
  Speaker 4: If they just kind of did that thing where like
• 34:27
  Speaker 4: either a band member played or like something like the
• 34:31
  Speaker 4: like the Clash would do, where like they would just
• 34:34
  Speaker 4: have people sing, like especially in like Sandinista, they would
• 34:37
  Speaker 4: have people just sing songs. You would just never heard
• 34:39
  Speaker 4: her before.
• 34:41
  Speaker 1: Do you ever listen to Joe Strummer's band, Joe Strummer
• 34:43

• 36:14
  Speaker 1: a Dropkick Murphy song that features Shane McGowan. It is

  Speaker 1: called good Rats. It is about rats that live in
• 36:22
  Speaker 1: the Guinness Brewery and then like after hours when everybody leaves,
• 36:26
  Speaker 1: they get drunk. So just very enjoyable song. Shane is
• 36:32
  Speaker 1: in it, and that there's a little video. There's like
• 36:34
  Speaker 1: a YouTube video of the making of this song that
• 36:37
  Speaker 1: you can watch, and the drop King Murphy is just
• 36:38
  Speaker 1: like so amused by working with Shane because obviously he's
• 36:41
  Speaker 1: a hero of theirs. I mean, how could he not be.
• 36:44
  Speaker 1: But he's just like peak Shane, ridiculous, like no teeth, drunkenness.
• 36:50
  Speaker 1: And at the end of the song they include a
• 36:52
  Speaker 1: clip of his laugh because they were so amused by
• 36:55
  Speaker 1: his laugh because he literally laughs like.
• 36:56
  Speaker 4: This, yeah, incredibly, say that you're laugh.
• 37:03
  Speaker 1: And the second one is a traditional folk song, The
• 37:08
  Speaker 1: Leaving of Liverpool. It's not the leaving of Liverpool that
• 37:12
  Speaker 1: grieves me, but my darling when I think of the
• 37:14
  Speaker 1: fantastic song which you Gonna go.
• 37:20
  Speaker 5: Leaving of Liverpool?
• 37:21
  Speaker 4: For me, this was the first one in the playlist too, right,
• 37:23
  Speaker 4: I believe.
• 37:25
  Speaker 1: No, I think that you might have shuffled it because
• 37:26
  Speaker 1: I don't believe this was the first one.
• 37:27
  Speaker 5: Oh is it really?
• 37:28
  Speaker 4: Okay? I thought it was the first one made. I
• 37:29
  Speaker 4: was repeating it. But yeah, I love this one. This
• 37:32
  Speaker 4: was great. I have not was super I was not
• 37:34
  Speaker 4: super familiar with either. But I like this one more.
• 37:36
  Speaker 4: But I like the drop That was good too.
• 37:39
  Speaker 1: But it is a lyrical lament in sea shanty. It
• 37:45
  Speaker 1: is from an unknown time, but they believe it was
• 37:49
  Speaker 1: first recorded in nineteen thirty eight. Wow, so we're going
• 37:55
  Speaker 1: on leaving at Liverpool. I'm okay with that. We can
• 37:59
  Speaker 1: we can that for later. Okay, next one, Okay, Thousands
• 38:11
  Speaker 1: are Sailing, which is a song about Irish immigration and
• 38:17
  Speaker 1: it's a beautiful song. It's actually I've never saw I
• 38:19
  Speaker 1: had the fortune of when I discover them. I went
• 38:22
  Speaker 1: studied abroad in Ireland and then like, I graduated college
• 38:25
  Speaker 1: in two thousand and eight and I got a job,
• 38:26
  Speaker 1: and I was single and had money for the first
• 38:29
  Speaker 1: time and like no responsibility, so That's when I was like, oh,
• 38:33
  Speaker 1: I can afford to go to any concert I really want.
• 38:35
  Speaker 1: And the Pogues would tour Boston once a year. So
• 38:39
  Speaker 1: I saw the Pogues every year that they toured, from
• 38:43
  Speaker 1: like oh nine till maybe till fourteen, I don't remember, wow,
• 38:53
  Speaker 1: but I saw them every year, saw them in Boston
• 38:54
  Speaker 1: multiple times. I saw them in Baltimore because they toured Baltimore.
• 38:57
  Speaker 1: Baltimore's a lot of Irish immigrants and they toured there
• 39:00
  Speaker 1: on their United States tour. So very lucky. And I
• 39:04
  Speaker 1: discovered that whenever they played this Thousands Are Sailing live,
• 39:08
  Speaker 1: they would have Philip Chevron perform it. He's the guitarist,
• 39:12
  Speaker 1: I believe, and it was because he wrote the song,
• 39:15
  Speaker 1: so they wanted to give him that like nod. Whenever
• 39:18
  Speaker 1: they played it live is Shane would not sing it,
• 39:21
  Speaker 1: but he did sing it in the albums.
• 39:25
  Speaker 5: I like that. That's really cool.
• 39:26
  Speaker 1: Yeah, And it is against so it is against streams
• 39:32
  Speaker 1: of whiskey.
• 39:33
  Speaker 4: Fuck.
• 39:34
  Speaker 1: Streams of whiskey has to win in my opinion.
• 39:36
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I would be in the same boat. But Thousands
• 39:39
  Speaker 4: Are Sailing was wonderful. That was a great one. Yeah.
• 39:42
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I was written by Philip Chevron in nineteen eighty eight.
• 39:45
  Speaker 1: Philip Chevron, I believe he was. He might have been
• 39:47
  Speaker 1: the first Pogues remember to pass away. He died of
• 39:49
  Speaker 1: cancer at fifty six, and he Yeah, he was the
• 39:56
  Speaker 1: lead guitarist in the Pokees. So I remember in the
• 39:58
  Speaker 1: Dots Sorry go ahead, go ahead, right, I.
• 40:00
  Speaker 4: Was just gonna say the same thing you are, Yeah, go.
• 40:01
  Speaker 1: Ahead, No, no, you go ahead.
• 40:03
  Speaker 5: No.
• 40:04
  Speaker 4: It's like you were going to reference specific words. And
• 40:05
  Speaker 4: it's like he was really good in the documentary, like
• 40:08
  Speaker 4: talking about the band's experience.
• 40:09
  Speaker 5: He was really good. Yeah.
• 40:11
  Speaker 1: And my favorite moment of that is he was talking
• 40:13
  Speaker 1: about how they would go on tour with younger people
• 40:16
  Speaker 1: and they're all either actively alcoholics or recovering alcoholics on
• 40:20
  Speaker 1: tour and this band of like twenty five year olds,
• 40:23
  Speaker 1: like repeatedly this would happen. The opening band of twenty
• 40:26
  Speaker 1: five year olds would be like, oh, let's have a
• 40:28
  Speaker 1: drinking contest, or like let's go shot for shot. We
• 40:31
  Speaker 1: want to see if we can hang with the Pogues.
• 40:33
  Speaker 1: And Philip Chevron has a line in the documentary he goes,
• 40:36
  Speaker 1: we don't need that, lads, like like it's it's already
• 40:40
  Speaker 1: so bad? Why I do this?
• 40:41
  Speaker 4: You know what I mean? I love it. He's just
• 40:43
  Speaker 4: like you could just sit here and have a drink.
• 40:45
  Speaker 4: That's like he was just like he was so like,
• 40:47
  Speaker 4: I'm doing this for you. It's just like it's just
• 40:49
  Speaker 4: like it was. It was so good. But he was
• 40:51
  Speaker 4: really and he when he was speaking about that breakup
• 40:53
  Speaker 4: was really interesting too. Yeah.
• 40:55
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah. So Thousands of Sailing is a great a
• 41:00
  Speaker 1: great song about Irish immigration, and I learned the term
• 41:04
  Speaker 1: coffin ship from that song because when you would immigrate
• 41:07
  Speaker 1: across the ocean back in the day and you're on
• 41:10
  Speaker 1: a ship with like for weeks with no like sanitation
• 41:15
  Speaker 1: or you know, clean air, and you're sleeping below deck,
• 41:18
  Speaker 1: I mean, everybody would get sick and die. So that's
• 41:21
  Speaker 1: why they called it a coffin ship. It's just a
• 41:23
  Speaker 1: miracle people. I mean we talked about this with Hamnet.
• 41:26
  Speaker 1: It's like, yeah, you're gonna have like seven kids. If
• 41:29
  Speaker 1: you yourself female last that long, you might die during childbirth.
• 41:33
  Speaker 1: But if if you don't die, you're gonna have seven kids,
• 41:37
  Speaker 1: and like probably like three or four rooms gonna die,
• 41:39
  Speaker 1: but you got the other ones. Yeah, Okay, all right.
• 41:46
  Speaker 1: Uh oh. Two songs I very I love very much
• 41:49
  Speaker 1: similar vibes. Misty Morning, Albert Bridge and this song is
• 41:54
  Speaker 1: about my wife so mean the broad Majestic Shannon. Both
• 42:02
  Speaker 1: of these songs are wonderful. Do you have any thoughts?
• 42:05
  Speaker 4: I like both.
• 42:09
  Speaker 5: Both are not really sticking out.
• 42:11
  Speaker 4: I would go with I almost said missed the Mountain Hop,
• 42:16
  Speaker 4: which is led Zeppelin Tournament. Sorry coming soon.
• 42:20
  Speaker 1: Last night we were wait last night, Oh no, it
• 42:25
  Speaker 1: was I dreamt we were sailing by the banks of
• 42:26
  Speaker 1: the Thames with a cool graywater ripple and the misty
• 42:30
  Speaker 1: morning light held a match to your cigarette. Watched the
• 42:32
  Speaker 1: smoke curl from your lips, your eyes blues the ocean
• 42:36
  Speaker 1: between us, smiling at me. That's Missy Morning, Albert Bridge.
• 42:39
  Speaker 1: The bron Majestic Shannon is more upbeat, and it begins
• 42:42
  Speaker 1: the last time I saw you was down at the Greeks.
• 42:45
  Speaker 1: There was a whiskey on Sunday and tears and her cheeks.
• 42:49
  Speaker 1: So if that's a memory refreshed, this is really tough
• 42:52
  Speaker 1: for me. I'd probably go with the brah Majestic Shannon. Okay,
• 42:56
  Speaker 1: what are your thoughts again?
• 42:58
  Speaker 4: I was going for the the first one Morning Albert Briss.
• 43:02
  Speaker 1: Yeah, on a cold and miss steam morning by the
• 43:07
  Speaker 1: aber Bridge.
• 43:10
  Speaker 4: We can defert anything you want to do with those.
• 43:14
  Speaker 1: I gotta go Broba Jessic Shannon because my wife's name
• 43:17
  Speaker 1: is Shannon, and she'll be furious if she finds out.
• 43:21
  Speaker 4: Why.
• 43:22
  Speaker 5: Just listen to she called you at work.
• 43:24
  Speaker 4: Just listen to the pod.
• 43:26
  Speaker 1: What what you want? All right? Okay, all right? Uh
• 43:33
  Speaker 1: this song is not a post song as a pope's song,
• 43:38
  Speaker 1: and it is the Church of the Holy Spook okay.
• 43:42
  Speaker 1: And it is against boat Train, which I I mean,
• 43:45
  Speaker 1: I keep saying this about every single song. I fucking
• 43:47
  Speaker 1: love boat train.
• 43:48
  Speaker 5: Boat train, fucking rules. I love boat Train.
• 43:51
  Speaker 1: You're going with boat train.
• 43:54
  Speaker 4: I'm going with boat train.
• 43:55
  Speaker 1: We'll save that.
• 43:57
  Speaker 5: I'm not gonna lie.
• 43:58
  Speaker 4: I just I just started laughing when the song came out.
• 44:00
  Speaker 4: I was like, what is his name? Boat Train? I
• 44:02
  Speaker 4: was like, I was like, boawtrain.
• 44:04
  Speaker 1: That that's what they call the faery that goes from
• 44:07
  Speaker 1: I believe it's England to Dublin. They called the Boatrain.
• 44:13
  Speaker 5: Cool. I just loved the name.
• 44:14
  Speaker 4: That was funny.
• 44:15
  Speaker 1: But Church of the Holy Spook, which has lost it
• 44:17
  Speaker 1: is a great, great opening line and It's a pretty
• 44:21
  Speaker 1: like heavy rock song for him, and he says the
• 44:26
  Speaker 1: opening line is my daddy was a sinner, my mother
• 44:30
  Speaker 1: was a saintly person, and I ruined my life by
• 44:33
  Speaker 1: drinking bad wives, taking pills and cursing.
• 44:37
  Speaker 4: It seemed to you like I have not. I don't
• 44:39
  Speaker 4: have a much in depth with the Popes that they
• 44:44
  Speaker 4: were going for much more of a heavier feel and
• 44:46
  Speaker 4: sound and definitely lyrics.
• 44:48
  Speaker 1: Yeah, well, I think that Popes was like, nobody told
• 44:52
  Speaker 1: Shane what to do. It was his band and they
• 44:53
  Speaker 1: all would just happen to be there, So I think
• 44:55
  Speaker 1: it was one hundred percent just whatever Shane wanted to
• 44:58
  Speaker 1: do at the time. And they had one really really
• 45:02
  Speaker 1: good album, The Snake, where he was pretty much in
• 45:06
  Speaker 1: the same shape he was in in the Pokes, which
• 45:09
  Speaker 1: I don't mean that as an insult. I mean that
• 45:10
  Speaker 1: actually is a compliment because I feel like their second
• 45:13
  Speaker 1: Pope's album he had gone way downhill, like because he
• 45:18
  Speaker 1: was always a very skinny guy and for the Second
• 45:23
  Speaker 1: Pope's album he just looked like heavier and bloated. So yeah,
• 45:30
  Speaker 1: I don't know. The Snake it was released in nineteen
• 45:33
  Speaker 1: ninety four, and what was their second I also love
• 45:38
  Speaker 1: the gold Wait, sorry, I say it again.
• 45:40
  Speaker 4: It's called the Crock of Gold is the name of it.
• 45:42
  Speaker 1: Yeah, The Crock of Gold was only three years later,
• 45:45
  Speaker 1: and it's wildly different. In seven Wow the Snake, I
• 45:52
  Speaker 1: love the cover again. It's just Shane McGowan shirtless, which
• 45:56
  Speaker 1: is a site to behold in a hot tub with
• 45:58
  Speaker 1: sunglasses on. I believe Tammy. It's Tammy t T so
• 46:07
  Speaker 1: uh CEC now can say Tammy Yoda's names. She calls
• 46:10
  Speaker 1: them t T and Yodi and I love it. She
• 46:13
  Speaker 1: can't say Chucky yet, although she calls Chucky that. But
• 46:16
  Speaker 1: Chucky's her favorite cat by far, because she always that
• 46:21
  Speaker 1: because she always laughs at Chucky. Okay, jokey, what did
• 46:28
  Speaker 1: I just put in there? Yeah? Okay, all right, we're
• 46:32
  Speaker 1: almost done with the first round here, Norris, I didn't
• 46:37
  Speaker 1: say it was worried. Okay. This this is a good
• 46:42
  Speaker 1: another great Hell's Ditch song. I like the you're writing
• 46:44
  Speaker 1: for Hell's Ditch. Sunny Side of the Street like this.
• 46:48
  Speaker 1: I like Sunny Side of the Street. Oh there's a
• 46:50
  Speaker 1: great line in it that I'll repeat and uh trans
• 46:52
  Speaker 1: Metropolitan the opening song from Red Roses for Me I
• 46:57
  Speaker 1: love both these songs. I have to go with trans Metropolitan.
• 46:59
  Speaker 4: I would do the same thing, honestly, I really would.
• 47:01
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 47:02
  Speaker 4: Uh.
• 47:03
  Speaker 1: The my favorite line this the Onny side of the
• 47:04
  Speaker 1: Street is uh, well, there's actually two. The second my
• 47:09
  Speaker 1: second favorite is but been in a palace and I've
• 47:12
  Speaker 1: been in a jail. I just don't want to be
• 47:13
  Speaker 1: reborn a snail and the but then my number one
• 47:17
  Speaker 1: is as my mother wept that day I swore I
• 47:20
  Speaker 1: would take my life as I would a whore. Fantastic line,
• 47:27
  Speaker 1: This is my mother that take my life as alright, ooh, okay,
• 47:36
  Speaker 1: this is a Poke song Birmingham six. I didn't want
• 47:40
  Speaker 1: to include Streets of Sorrow, but the recording is both songs.
• 47:43
  Speaker 1: But really I'm just focusing on Birmingham six. So Birmingham
• 47:46
  Speaker 1: six is the Poke song that is about the movie
• 47:49
  Speaker 1: In the Name of the Father, Because in the In
• 47:52
  Speaker 1: the Name of the Father is a true story, and
• 47:54
  Speaker 1: we talked about this last year for Saint Patrick's Day. Yeah,
• 47:58
  Speaker 1: and they played it on Live TV because it's about
• 48:01
  Speaker 1: which is a true story, the British police arresting and
• 48:05
  Speaker 1: framing Irish citizens for ira attacks with no evidence, just
• 48:09
  Speaker 1: because they wanted to get a quick arrest and a
• 48:12
  Speaker 1: rest in Irish person. They played it on live TV
• 48:15
  Speaker 1: and they were cut off because they were told not
• 48:17
  Speaker 1: to play it on live TV because it was on
• 48:19
  Speaker 1: English TV. And it is against what I would argue
• 48:22
  Speaker 1: is the best Pope's song, the Donegal Express.
• 48:28
  Speaker 4: Okay, I really like actually the combination of streets of
• 48:36
  Speaker 4: Birmingham six. I kind of like that, even though I
• 48:38
  Speaker 4: know it's a pretty sharp contrast. Yep, I really like
• 48:42
  Speaker 4: that combination. But Donaldal Express was really good.
• 48:47
  Speaker 1: That Donalgaal Express is Joe's favorite Shane McGowan Pogue slash
• 48:50
  Speaker 1: Pope song.
• 48:52
  Speaker 4: Really yep.
• 48:54
  Speaker 1: Oh, man, I gotta go Donnygall Express.
• 49:00
  Speaker 5: Sure, I'll go with that, why not?
• 49:02
  Speaker 1: But I do love I sang it in the podcast
• 49:04
  Speaker 1: there are six men in Birmingham and go for there's
• 49:07
  Speaker 1: four oh, and may the horrors of the Empire lie
• 49:11
  Speaker 1: awake in their beds and sweat as they count out
• 49:14
  Speaker 1: the sins in their heads. M Oh, what is it?
• 49:19
  Speaker 1: And then what is the other line? M there for
• 49:24
  Speaker 1: for the price of promotion and justice to sell, May
• 49:29
  Speaker 1: the judged be their judges when they're rot down in hell.
• 49:32
  Speaker 1: Fucking great line. May the judge be the judges when
• 49:36
  Speaker 1: they're rot down, and how oh man, fucking great all right.
• 49:41
  Speaker 1: The next one is McCormick and Richard Talber was sitting
• 49:45
  Speaker 1: by the bed. There's a glass of punch below your
• 49:48
  Speaker 1: feet and an angel let your head The Sick Bed
• 49:51
  Speaker 1: of kuck Ellen versus White City, which is a fucking
• 49:55
  Speaker 1: great song too. White City is a song about tearing
• 49:59
  Speaker 1: down a a dog track where you gamble on dog
• 50:03
  Speaker 1: races and they're tearing it down to build something probably
• 50:07
  Speaker 1: better for society. That's the story in the song Versus
• 50:11
  Speaker 1: the Sick Betaku.
• 50:11
  Speaker 5: Callen m hm. I would go with White City. Personally,
• 50:16
  Speaker 5: I would go.
• 50:20
  Speaker 1: There's just again. I think Shame of Going is such
• 50:24
  Speaker 1: an amazing songwriter. H The torn up ticket stubs from
• 50:28
  Speaker 1: one hundred thousand mugs are washed away like dead dreams
• 50:31
  Speaker 1: in the rain. Such an amazing line about a dog
• 50:36
  Speaker 1: track where the patties and the frogs came to gamble
• 50:40
  Speaker 1: on the dogs. There's a band called deer Tick and
• 50:44
  Speaker 1: they do a cover of White City that I think
• 50:45
  Speaker 1: is quite good. You should look that up on Spotify.
• 50:47
  Speaker 4: Ryan I have one of their albums.
• 50:50
  Speaker 1: Actually, Dear Tick really.
• 50:52
  Speaker 4: There's the deer ticks or is deer tick different?
• 50:57
  Speaker 1: I think is it the deer ticks? Is probably the
• 50:59
  Speaker 1: deer ticks.
• 51:00
  Speaker 4: It could be they had a Are they local?
• 51:05
  Speaker 1: I'm not sure. I only know them because of the
• 51:07
  Speaker 1: cover of White City. Ryan. This is really tough for
• 51:14
  Speaker 1: me because I really want to go sick Bed Ahead,
• 51:17
  Speaker 1: go for it, man, No, because your opinion should matter.
• 51:22
  Speaker 4: Providence someat somewhat local.
• 51:25
  Speaker 1: Oh okay, all right, yeah, Providence. That makes sense.
• 51:29
  Speaker 4: Uh.
• 51:29
  Speaker 1: The sick pedical calend is so fucking good. I'm gonna
• 51:35
  Speaker 1: I'm have to respect your opinion, Ran and go with
• 51:36
  Speaker 1: White City. I might have to put my foot down
• 51:39
  Speaker 1: later and then that'll make me feel less about it.
• 51:42
  Speaker 1: But the sick pedical calend is so good. God is
• 51:45
  Speaker 1: in his heaven and Billy's down by the bay. Do
• 51:56
  Speaker 1: they use the the a lot of racial slurs and
• 52:00
  Speaker 1: that song because like, not in a way that they're
• 52:03
  Speaker 1: promoting them. They're saying like they're talking about somebody who
• 52:05
  Speaker 1: is prejudicing other groups of people. And they use the
• 52:09
  Speaker 1: term yids And I had never heard that term, and
• 52:12
  Speaker 1: it's a I believe it's a British slang term for
• 52:15
  Speaker 1: Jewish people in a derogatory way. So next time you
• 52:19
  Speaker 1: talked to Ben alright the Irish Rover, which is a
• 52:26
  Speaker 1: duet with the Dubliners. The Dubliners are a very as
• 52:30
  Speaker 1: far as like traditional Irish bands, The Dubliners are probably
• 52:35
  Speaker 1: the most mainstream traditional Irish music band of all time.
• 52:40
  Speaker 1: They were active from oh, they were active from nineteen
• 52:47
  Speaker 1: sixty two to twenty twelve. That's a long time.
• 52:55
  Speaker 4: They were active till twenty and twelve.
• 52:57
  Speaker 1: Yes, wow. The lead singer in this song, because it's
• 53:02
  Speaker 1: Shane and a singer who is like a very distinct voice.
• 53:05
  Speaker 1: His name is Ronnie Drew. He's still alive and his
• 53:09
  Speaker 1: wicked Oh no, no, sorry, he's not a lot. He's
• 53:11
  Speaker 1: very much not alive. Sorry, I thought I was wrong.
• 53:13
  Speaker 1: But his Wikipedia page is photo is him smoking cigar,
• 53:16
  Speaker 1: which is fitting. But Ronnie Drew was the lead singer
• 53:19
  Speaker 1: of the Doubliners after their original lead singer Luke Kelly died.
• 53:24
  Speaker 1: So Luke Kelly died in nineteen eighty four. But Luke
• 53:27
  Speaker 1: Kelly was like a legend in Irish music and he
• 53:31
  Speaker 1: was only forty three when he died. He died of
• 53:33
  Speaker 1: a brain tumor, so the Doubliners put them on there
• 53:37
  Speaker 1: if you're making a San Patrick State playlist. So it
• 53:40
  Speaker 1: is a traditional Irish song, the Irish Rover, which is
• 53:43
  Speaker 1: fantastic song against London You're a Lady.
• 53:50
  Speaker 5: I would do Irish Rover.
• 53:52
  Speaker 1: I would probably do Irish Rover too, but I love
• 53:55
  Speaker 1: London You're a Lady. Is this another hell's ditch song?
• 54:00
  Speaker 4: Thinks so let me look.
• 54:01
  Speaker 1: Oh no, peace and love, Peace and love. Oh man. Yeah,
• 54:08
  Speaker 1: it's so this London You're a Lady is such a
• 54:11
  Speaker 1: beautiful song. It will not make it through, but it's
• 54:14
  Speaker 1: it's talking about how he's in love with the city
• 54:17
  Speaker 1: of London, like he's like it's a woman, and he
• 54:20
  Speaker 1: describes the city of London like a woman. And there's
• 54:28
  Speaker 1: a He says, September is your purgatory, Christmas is your
• 54:32
  Speaker 1: heaven when the stinking streets of summer are washed away
• 54:35
  Speaker 1: by rain. Yeah, your your blood is like a river.
• 54:39
  Speaker 1: It's sent his beer and gin. Your hell is in
• 54:42
  Speaker 1: the summer and you blossom in the spring. Just yeah,
• 54:44
  Speaker 1: fantastic song, but okay, Irish Rover.
• 54:48
  Speaker 4: It's also really cool they just like include the Dubliners
• 54:52
  Speaker 4: in the song. I think it's a really cool thing
• 54:54
  Speaker 4: of like actually having them be on the album with them.
• 54:56
  Speaker 4: Oh yeah, it's not like it's not a rejection of
• 54:58
  Speaker 4: what's come before.
• 54:59
  Speaker 5: It's interesting.
• 55:00
  Speaker 1: Yeah, they love the Double Ners. They have another song
• 55:03
  Speaker 1: with them on here and yeah. So like if you
• 55:05
  Speaker 1: watch this is a music video, and if you watch it,
• 55:08
  Speaker 1: it's the entire Doublers band and the entire Pokes band
• 55:11
  Speaker 1: are playing backup music. So it's like twenty five people.
• 55:14
  Speaker 4: There's no audience. They are. There's just no room for
• 55:17
  Speaker 4: anybody else but them.
• 55:18
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, all right, we got how many we got left?
• 55:22
  Speaker 1: We've got six left? Ryan. The first one is uh ooh.
• 55:28
  Speaker 1: These are both traditional IRA songs. There's both covers. The
• 55:32
  Speaker 1: first one is in eighteen hundred and forty one the
• 55:42
  Speaker 1: Koordroy Bitches I put on Poor Patty, Poor Patty works
• 55:47
  Speaker 1: on the railway, and it's whiskey You're the Devil, which
• 55:51
  Speaker 1: is another fantastic traditional song. Whiskey You're the Devil. You're
• 55:56
  Speaker 1: leading me astray over the hills and mountains. And two Okay,
• 56:00
  Speaker 1: you're sweeter, stronger, decenter, you're spunkier than Tao. Whiskey You're
• 56:05
  Speaker 1: me darling drunk or Soberer.
• 56:08
  Speaker 5: WHI should you go with Whiskey or the Devil?
• 56:11
  Speaker 1: I think I would as well. But Poor Patty is
• 56:15
  Speaker 1: a great way to take your traditional Irish song and
• 56:17
  Speaker 1: make it a punk song because it's a very aggressive
• 56:21
  Speaker 1: chorus with banjo and like a thudding drum that's used
• 56:27
  Speaker 1: very effectively.
• 56:28
  Speaker 5: I had not heard this Poor Patty before that. It
• 56:31
  Speaker 5: was great.
• 56:32
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Poor Patty works on the all right oof. I
• 56:39
  Speaker 1: think you know it's gonna be your winner. If I
• 56:41
  Speaker 1: should fall from Grace with God from the SUV commercial
• 56:45
  Speaker 1: against the Old Main Drag. Oh, the Old Main Drag
• 56:54
  Speaker 1: is about being homeless in London and it's not a
• 56:57
  Speaker 1: fun song.
• 56:59
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I would have to go with if I should
• 57:03
  Speaker 4: Grace with God?
• 57:04
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I agree, But the Old Man Drag? Oh, what
• 57:09
  Speaker 1: is the line? One evening as I was lying down
• 57:13
  Speaker 1: in lest Or Square, I was picked up by the
• 57:16
  Speaker 1: coppers and kicked in the balls.
• 57:19
  Speaker 4: I like that line. It's very like band plays. Walton
• 57:22
  Speaker 4: would tell the words like a slow storytelling song.
• 57:25
  Speaker 1: Yeah, he talks about like being a street prostitute and
• 57:30
  Speaker 1: doing drugs and being homeless. It's not it's a great
• 57:36
  Speaker 1: song though, No f off, there's one more line in
• 57:43
  Speaker 1: that song that I fucking love I have to pick it.
• 57:47
  Speaker 1: So he's he's sixteen in the song as well, which
• 57:50
  Speaker 1: is pretty fucked up. When I first came to London,
• 57:53
  Speaker 1: I was only sixteen with a fiver in my pocket
• 57:56
  Speaker 1: and my old dancing bag. Okay, in the dark of
• 58:01
  Speaker 1: an alley, you would work for a five for swift
• 58:03
  Speaker 1: one at the wrist on the old Main Drag. So
• 58:06
  Speaker 1: I don't know if that's a hand job. Maybe it's
• 58:08
  Speaker 1: talking about injecting heroines here, yes, yeah, yeah, okay, And
• 58:17
  Speaker 1: then this is this is the end of the song.
• 58:19
  Speaker 1: Now I am lying here. I've had too much booze.
• 58:23
  Speaker 1: I've been spat on and shut on and raped and abused.
• 58:29
  Speaker 1: I know that I am dying, and I wish I
• 58:32
  Speaker 1: could beg for some money to take me from the
• 58:36
  Speaker 1: old Main Drag, just the way that he says the
• 58:39
  Speaker 1: last line. But yeah, on the tube station, the old
• 58:44
  Speaker 1: ones who are on the way out, so he's talking
• 58:47
  Speaker 1: about the old homeless people who are soon going to die,
• 58:50
  Speaker 1: would dribble and vomit and grovel and shout, and some
• 58:54
  Speaker 1: coppers would come along and push them about. And I
• 58:57
  Speaker 1: wish I could escape from the old Main Drag. All right,
• 59:03
  Speaker 1: we got two left and then we'll go to part two.
• 59:06
  Speaker 1: We have another Dubliner's duet, the Mountain Dew.
• 59:12
  Speaker 5: I like this one. I like this one. This is
• 59:14
  Speaker 5: a new one from New Ish. One one for me too.
• 59:16
  Speaker 1: The Mountain Dew. So those who don't know, Mountain Dew
• 59:19
  Speaker 1: is a traditional Irish song before the existence of the
• 59:22
  Speaker 1: soft drink, and it refers it refers to making moonshine,
• 59:28
  Speaker 1: which in Irish they call it pachin. So the term
• 59:32
  Speaker 1: for like. It's a clear, very strong, homemade alcohol they
• 59:38
  Speaker 1: call the instead of moonshine, they call it pachin. And
• 59:42
  Speaker 1: the line is the sweet pachein from Ireland green that's
• 59:44
  Speaker 1: made from wheat and rye, go away with your pills,
• 59:48
  Speaker 1: go away with their pills. May they cure all ills.
• 59:51
  Speaker 1: Come Pagan, Christian or jew Take off your coat and
• 59:55
  Speaker 1: grease your throat with a bucketful of mountain dew. I
• 59:57
  Speaker 1: have had pachin. Yes, it's very weird tasting, Okay, I
• 1:00:04
  Speaker 1: don't know how to describe it. Okay, Yeah, but it's
• 1:00:09
  Speaker 1: not made like moonshine is traditionally made with corn and
• 1:00:13
  Speaker 1: in Ireland they don't grow corn so it doesn't taste
• 1:00:15
  Speaker 1: like moonshine you would have in America, okay versus an
• 1:00:20
  Speaker 1: iconic maybe the most Saint Patrick's Day of original poke songs,
