Mercy is the mark of a great man. Guess I'm just a good man. Well, I'm all right.

There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.

More folky than punky, and, besides, British.

If they're Irish shouldn't they be the shiznite? Or perhaps the shizenit?
Nah, they'd be the hizzle.
The Ce-zizzle.

The only Irish punk band that's actually Irish, afaik, were the Pogues.
Weren't (or is it Aren't) Still Little Fingers Irish? Or are they not punk?

Yeah, they were from Belfast, but they didn't have much of the Celtic in their music, as I recall. Haven't listened to them in a while, tho, so maybe I'm wrong. VERY punk, tho.

Hang on, are we saying the Pogues aren't folky? I'm pretty sure Shane and the boys would object to that most strenuously.
Stiff Little Fingers are from Ireland but they're pure punk.

Just listened more carefully to A Grand Don't Come For Free, and I think I have the whole story down. I'm coming around to Jim's side on this; it's some sharp and affecting song-writing. I especially like the choice to re-write the final narrative in the middle of the song when it headed somewhere too nihilistic.

No, the Pogues were definitely folky, but TMTCH were, uh, moreso. And less punky.
I'm flailing now, aren't I?

Got 4th row tickets to see Brian Wilson perform Smile in late October. Hell, yeah! I accidentally bought three extra tickets in the 7th row of the SC section, which, it looks like, are actually 7th row tickets dead center. If anyone wants to see Brian Wilson in Austin, let me know. I'll sell these extra tickets at cost.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Does anyone know anything about the Britiah rapper The Streets? Is he any good, or just hype?
