My eldest brave has some pretty interesting and good taste in music. He’s clued me in to a couple of interesting genres that I had heard a bit of before, but never really got into for whatever reason. We were driving around the other day as part of teaching driving (be afraid. be very afraid) and we plugged his iPod into the car stereo. Here are a couple samples from his iPod.
First up, Dropkick Murphys.
Memorial Day:
Peg O’ My Heart:
Next, Flogging Molly. (Celtic rock bands have cool names)
Drunken Lullabies:
May the Living be Dead (In Our Wake):
This’ll get us by for a while. Next time, we’ll investigate some more of Thundering Buffalo’s tunes.

IDIOTS ABC News’ Olivia Katrandjian reports: Denmark has introduced what’s believed to be the world’s first fat food tax, applying a surcharge to foods with more than 2.3 percent saturated fats, in an effort to combat obesity and heart disease. Danes hoarded food before the tax went into effect Saturday, emptying grocery store shelves. Some butter lovers may even resort… Read more »
#139 Pyro: Let’s meet for lunch sometime at Aroma’s in the south east quadrant of Weslayan and Richmond.
What a wonderful rendition of Lynard Skynard’s The Ballad of Curtis Loew by Larry Cordle and Lonesome Standard Time.
I very seldom go closer to downtown than a couple blocks inside the West Loop (my office). Most of the time, I can barely see the tops of the tall buildings.
Were some of you actually in downtown Houston and have seen the purple-lit City Hall? Why does anyone go downtown after dark?
only a woman would think that up or some do-gooder liberal who still thinks domestic violence doubles on Super Bowl Sunday. Had I not seen this discussion and saw City Hall with purple lights, I would have thought it was some celebration of some artist or some other caca. I’m pretty sure most people are aware of domestic violence, but… Read more »

Check the source. Alex Jones is a conspiracy nut and general loon.
#131 Pyro Granted, the pink ribbons are a wimmins issue, even though breast cancer also happens to men. My point was that the idea of running purple lights at city hall for domestic abuse awareness struck me as: only a woman would think that up. I believe yellow ribbons started as a “waiting for someone to return from war” symbol,… Read more »
OK just a quick Dirve-By as I just put the Sea Ray to bed, been a been a long but good great day. How’s about this for a Monday topic; Occupy Wall Street Protesters Call For Totalitarian Government, Re-Election Of Obama. It will scare the crap outta’ Ya! Read the whole thing.

Hamous;
Send Elina a Bible. 🙂
Some really good music:

Pink is for breast cancer.
#121 Hammy you mean all that pink on the fields today won’t cure cancer? Before I flamed on purple lights at city hall, I reflected on the pink ribbon. But if I’m not mistaken, the yellow wrist band for Lance Armstrong’s fight against cancer predates the pinkiness. So I am not sure that wearing a color for some disease is… Read more »
Heh heh. From my junk folder:
I agree. Beheaded bankers will need a good masseuse. 🙂
Cheaper too.
The Lingerie Football League doesnt even have that much pink.

unless all other options are unavailable
Romo’s a great QB. I heard he threw six TD passes today. Two of them to Detroit.
Romosapiens Rule the World.
How bout dem Cowboys?!!
Code Pink.–NFL
National Feminized League.
Heh. Calfboys blow a 27-3 lead and lose. Guess it won’t be cool to be a Romosexual this week.
#116 MHarper – you mean all that pink on the fields today won’t cure cancer? There’s an awful lot of pink. Maybe if they install pink astroturf?
Sarge did notice, just not until now. I literally shut the puter down as soon as I posted and didn’t open back up till now.
I’ve never seen a team try so hard to lose a game.
#115 Pyro
From your link: I was astonished to read that 2 men friends would not “occupy adjacent” “sports arena seats”. Don’t y’all go to sports events together or in a group all the time? Why would you sit apart? I am stumped.
Now that sharing dessert thing, I understand that one. 🙂
#108 Darren
Now what are hospitals supposed to do with those “surplus” sick people? Let ’em suffer & die in the alley behind the hospital? Guess then things will be easier for the staff.
#113 Hammy
Yeah, I bet that purple light at City Hall will fix all our domestic abuse problems right away. This is the first time I’ve heard something that swayed me to El Gordo’s POV. This silly notion reeks of women’s thinking.
Some ruminations on how guys tick.
Just keep your space, f@g.
#103 Bones
Now that’s scary. 😀
I noticed that City Hall has been washed in purple lighting lately. I assumed it was our lesbian mayor paying homage to her base but apparently heterosexuals are taking purple back.
#107 – You’re probably right. I think metallurgists are probably in Rainman territory. Man those are some goofy people.
#110 GJT,…. Hey Bones, you see that Roseanne Barr story Darren posted? Good find!! 😀

“Part of my platform is, of course, the guilty must be punished and that we no longer let our children see their guilty leaders getting away with murder. Because it teaches children, you know, that they don’t have to have any morals as long as they have guns and are bullies and I don’t think that’s a good message,” Barr… Read more »
Despite the Swedish Work Environment Authority (Arbetsmiljöverket) threatening that they would take a hard line on hospitals placing patient beds in corridors and too many cramped rooms, the problem still persists, and in the past year alone over 130 cases of overcrowding have been reported. In future, those found flaunting the rules face possible fines running into millions of kronor.… Read more »

I scored a 32, but it has been my impression that most Engineers have some level of Asberger’s Syndrome.
Simple
What a glittering jewel of colossal ignorance “I first would allow the guilty bankers to pay, you know, the ability to pay back anything over $100 million [of] personal wealth because I believe in a maximum wage of $100 million. And if they are unable to live on that amount of that amount then they should, you know, go to… Read more »
Hundred!. Oh, dang it.
#102 Pyro: It’s an asberger score not an ass-h#@e score.
/ducks and hauls a@@
#98 M42: I knew there was something I liked about you, I scored a 27 as well.
32
Yellow Hair would prolly think that score is on the low side…
Perfectly good setup, and Sarge didn’t even notice.
Mornin–
One the way to Church to do my thing with the Middle Schoolers.
Dennis Miller interviews Herman Cain.
But to compensate for my poor social skills, I’ll leave a nice easy setup here for some lucky Hamster…
Ay Caramba, I scored 27 on the cursed Asberger test
G’day, Hamsters. Where is everyone?
What’s your Asperger Quotient?
I have NO idea;
OK……?!?!
What’s your Asperger Quotient?
Accidental Chinese hipsters.
Hambone,… “Roll Tide” Ducks and hauls azz, running that Zig-Zag pattern that I learned from our own “Southern Demostic Terrorist” 😀
