Saying this as an Irish person since the new Hozier album just came out and there are lyrics in Irish; it’s Irish or Gaeilge (pronounced “gwhale-ga” or “gale-ga” depending on region), not Gaelic or Celtic or any other name people come up with.

It’s just a normal language that people speak in their everyday life. We learn it in school in the republic. People like myself are bilingual in Irish and English. It’s not a “fairy aesthetic cottage core leprechaun” language.

Please respect it. Our language is a touchy subject seen as how England tried to erase it by forcing English on us and severely punishing those who spoke Irish.

At the same time that does NOT mean it is a dead language. Our (in the republic) road and safety signs are in both Irish and English, same with legal documents. Our politicians speak it, and we are trying to preserve the language!

Anyways enjoy the album!

I never knew they also had lovely voices! Mo Chara and DJ Provaí from Kneecap there singing. They’ve often talked about the communal spirit of sitting together in an Irish pub and singing traditional folk songs together. The rest of the time, of course, they are communally jumping up and down with us all, screaming, “I’m a H-double O-D; lowlife scum; that’s what they say about me”

What a band

If we're all pretty much on board by now with "media consumption is not activism," are we ready to move on yet to the necessary corollary of "failure to consume media is not failure of activism?"

Chewing my arm off over Dónal Finn getting to keep his irish accent in Hadestown because I never heard an Irish accent in a musical before. He sounds like my grandad!! Like my friends!! He gets to be onstage and sound beautiful and keep his fucking accent!!!!!

If Shanks was a musician, he would be the type of musician who drops the most earth shattering song once every five years then goes back to doing random side quests
