St. Patricks Week

Allow me to kick off a week of drinking celebrations. Being a McLean, 6th generation from Scotland, and having taveled to my homeland makes me appreciate this holiday for what it truely is: a drinking day, similar to halloween only everybody is wearing green.

The celebration began yesterday in 5 points Columbia SC, where around 30,000 packed the streets for green beer, live music on 5 stages, and plenty of greasy food from street vendors. Sure I will have an obligatory pint of Guiness on Wednesday for the actual date, but I'm looking forward to finishing the week with a trip down to Savannah GA for their festival as well.

Here are some excellent Celtic / Irish jams filled with bagpipes, drums, flutes, and fiddles, to get you pumped up for some green beer.

Lunasa

An Irish group that drives hard, sure to get yer feet stompin!

Seven Nations

Celtic Rock - these guys are fantastic, saw em live @ Bele Chere in Asheville a few years back. Their 2000 album Pictou Sessions is definately worth a listen

IPOD Tragedy

Broken IPOD loses 10,000 songs

I have an unfortunate and devestating reply to the the previous post about the joys of IPOD music. This weekend I lost over 10K+ songs when my 60 gig IPOD was broken.

I can appreciate exactly what Steve was talking about, listening to old songs, and finding new stuff hidden in the masses of music onboard the ipod. On roadtrips, the random selection is always awesome to search until you find a show you want to listen to fully. I have been accumulating those 10k songs over the past 5 years from various friends computers, and have very few of the songs saved on my new laptop.

Over the weekend my parents came down to Charleston to visit. My Dad was helping me install some insulation in the attic of my house. While working, I figured we could use some tunes to keep us moving while doing such miserable itchy work. Well my mom was hanging around downstairs and decided she wanted to change the music, while not really knowing how to work the ipod. Then her phone rings while messin with it, she drops the IPOD and bam, 5 years of musical archives are gone. Tha hard drive was smashed, it sounds like there are bb's rolling around inside.

On the bright side, she has offered to replace the ipod, which is why I am posting this to TSAD. I am very grateful to have new music offered up daily as I start with a fresh palate, trying to refresh my music library.

Here are some examples of what I will miss the most

MIKI GONZALES - found in PERU 2007




JGB




Talking Heads

The Charleston - All out dance!!!

For anyone who loves to get down on a good dance party!

Valentine's Candy

While sitting around eating some Valentines candy, watching the Olympics - USA USA, I thought of a classic about candy. Straight outta ATHF, and a wonderful tune for anyone who loves candy, or anyone who was wrongly diagnosed with ADHD as a kid, everyone has it.


I want candy, bubble gum and taffy!
a hyperactive juice only I can produce

Now that I've popped my TSAD posting cherry with a little Valentines Day humor, on to the more interesting beats.



Neon Indian
"Terminally chill"

Kelpe
"Eye Candy Bath"

give this track about a min in for the beat to drop, but you're sure to enjoy once it does.
By the way I originally found these tracks on a new site I'm digging, rcrdlbl.com check it out!

DEAD SHOW REVIEW: 4-12-09

GREENSBORO, NC --

Show review comes from Drew McLean, who was in attendance at the first show of the run in Greensboro, NC
What a beautiful Easter Sunday! We could not have asked for a nicer Spring day that what was 4/12/09. While I myself am not religious, celebrating Easter or the Passover, I decided instead to spend this wonderful afternoon with some of the greatest family in the world, Deadheads.


After 5 years off everyone is anticipating about the long awaited return. People of all ages journey to Greensboro for the start of the 09 tour, full of excitement anew and stories of joyous times spent. My brother and I join several close friends from our hometown and college, many that haven’t seen each other for 3-4 years.


While Greensboro in not the freshest of cities, I was thoroughly impressed with the Coliseum and the fairgrounds. The lot scene was terrific, surrounding the entire arena including grass areas to throw the frisbee and several different “shakedown streets” full of lot goodies and friends enjoying the scene.


He's Gone meant a lot to me, coming as it did on Easter Sunday and very early in the first set of the first show of the tour. The whole crowd was singing "He's gone, he's gone, and nothing's gonna bring him back."


Somewhere near TOG or Miracle I was handed an extra chocolate, which had been melted in the confines of my friend’s wife’s bra. (Why do chicks always hide things in “the vault”?) I quickly gobbled this down and was on my way.


On the stage below you see Bobby out front, but it’s clear who is driving this show from stage right, as Warren was layin it down. Second set starts off with a rippin Shakedown Street, energizing everyone in the swirling cauldron below (as I see it from the upper deck).


Always a pleasure to get Shakedown, however from there on the show seemed to slow way down. I’m usually a fan of drums>space having played drums myself for many years, but after Mickey was done the energy never seemed to peak again. Very low key with the second set, but overall it was still a stellar show to kick off the tour. For those of you lucky enough to see them on tour soon, you are in for a real treat as everyone returns to form. I look forward to hearing your experiences from random venues on the tour, as well as experiencing Madison Square Garden for myself in 2 weeks.
