Mental that we are living through the Second Gaelic Revival and one day it will all be over and we’ll be able to tell our kids about it.

Song of the Day

20 Dec., ‘23

[eagna-eilis]

According to my Wrapped, my most played song of 2023 is The Mary Wallopers' recording of 'Eileen Óg'

Percy French wrote that song well over a century ago and it's still a banger.

RobMoro TV | The Mary Wallopers - The Blarney Stone

The Mary Wallopers have released a new track titled ‘The Blarney Stone’. The track is part of their upcoming album “Irish Rock N Roll” which will be out in October. The Blarney Stone is an iconic landmark in Ireland that is said to grant the gift of eloquence to those who kiss it. The song and video recount how some enterprising Irish individuals have created their own Blarney Stones and charged…

The Idler by

The Mary Wallopers

Well don't blame the idler who sits on the corner

Sits on a corner a cup in their hand

But blame the ider who owns the apartments

Built by his cronies on ex-public lands

•

Don't blame the idler who does the odd nixer

Does the odd nixer while drawing the dole

But blame the landlord his car's like a Concorde

And he's charging fierce rent for a string of shitholes

•

Well don't blame the idler who sits on the barstool

Sits on the barstool besotted each day

But blame the clergy a-preaching "how dare thee?"

Pushing their baskets some subscriptions to pay

•

Well don't blame the idler not taxing his motor

Not taxing his motor when tax it he must

But blame the idler who stands at the checkpoint

Ah just doing his job while the tax rate's unjust

•

Well don't blame the idler who sits in the kitchen

Sits in the kitchen with needle and spoon

Oh, but blame the Blueshirts for austerity and budget cuts

That allow more young souls to perish too soon

•

Well don't blame the idler who comes to this country

Comes to this country a-seeking their home

But blame the idler who forgets their history

And says "Ireland is full I'll look after our own”

•

See don't blame the small man your brothers your sisters

Your brothers your sisters if they're blamed they might see

We live under a system not built to assist them

They survive on mere crumbs while the rich take the cream

•

So these the true idlers are far worse than any

They're far worse than any above or below

Oh they're poverty's patrons worse devils then Satan

And you can be sure straight to hell they will go

In a non-morbid but purely emotional and appreciation of music’s inexplicable impact on my life, I am struck occasionally by songs I want played at my funeral. This.

This is the going out song. Heaven is the place to find peace and joy and see our loves from our lives. 🎶

imagine being at barrier for the mary wallopers and pulling out your phone to open instagram to take a video for your story (a/n: i posted like 14 stories lol) and you're just kicked in the face by the rte news announcing the death of jimmy carter during building up and tearing england down

The Mary Wallopers - Irish Rock N Roll

The Mary Wallopers' sophomore album, Irish Rock N Roll blends the great Irish bardic tradition of storytelling through song with some powerful, timely messages about Ireland's current social and political climate. a great blend of humour and poignancy, expertly crafted from beginning to end!

my favourite tracks: The Idler, Vultures of Christmas, Gates of Heaven

Albums Of The Year (Curated By Me, Big G)

It’s been a good year for the roses, as was said by Elvis Costello recently.  Of course, by “the roses” he meant music that I, Big G, quite like.  Therefore, to bring us to the end of the year in a flurry of doe-eyed nostalgia for a time not so long ago, I shall now present to you… a list of some albums that some guy heard within the past twelve months.  Five shall be the number of the albums, and the number of the albums shall be five.  I did find it somewhat difficult to cut it down to a mere five.  But to stick to my guns there will be no more, no less, no subtle name drops of the albums which didn’t make the final list, and no honorable mentions.  So, without further waffle, herein lies my 2022 in music presented in release order.

Album: Impera

Artist: Ghost

Genre: Sat-an Halen

Let me be clear.  I’m not dealing with the unoriginal sCoObY dOo MuSiC pish.  Ghost are a rock solid Heavy Metal band and if you can’t see that after listening to Impera… then may you go to heaven when you die and leave Ghost and me on our own in the depths of Hell where we shall have a totally bitchin’ time without you.  

I’m going to make a bold claim about this album.  And that bold claim is that “Kaiserion” is the best opening track on a Heavy Metal album since “The Wickerman” on 2000’s “Brave New World”.  Prove me wrong.  It’s so uplifting in that way that only Heavy Metal can be.  The first half of the album is much the same.  I would say that all my favourite tracks are on Side A.  There’s nothing you don’t want to sing along to.  Not just the vocals…but the guitar solos, the riffs, and the choir parts too.  It’s like a whole half album of Bohemian Raspberries.

Side B does come with a slightly different vibe.  It has two short musical interlude tracks whereas Side A only has the one, so it has fewer full-length tracks to offer.  Two of the four full length tracks are a bit mellower overall, especially “Darkness at the Heart of my Love”.  But if you prefer the upbeat stuff this is where you’ll find “Griftwood” a very Van Halen-esque take on modern satanic arena Metal.  Which is specific, but goodly specific.  And there’s a song called “Twenties” which is…also there!

Ok

Could I just say

For two years running, Irish bands have stole the show on Jools Holland Hootenany

Last year it was the Mary Wallopers

This year it was the Boomtown Rats

Good job you people
