Folk Music Friday #3, St Patrick's Day part 2


Posted on 03/16/2013 at 08:54 PM | Filed Under Blogs

I've loved The Waterboys ever since I first heard one of their songs when I was in college. My favorite album is Room to Roam. I forgot to tell Joe that Fisherman's Blues was also on the soundtrack to Waking Ned Devine.

If you're ever in doubt about lyrics to trad songs, go to mudcat.org and check out the digitrad database. Beware of engaging anyone in discussion in the threads, though. The place is inhabitated by a bunch of cranky old people. I've been a member for many, many years and even I don't get involved in a whole lot of the threads there anymore. And whatever you do, don't ask "what is folk"!

It was between The Stolen Child and Wraggle Taggle Gypsy. I went with the more traditional song of the two. Plus, I have nostalgic memories of my cousins learning Wraggle Taggle Gypsy so they could sing it to our grandfather so he could learn it. My paternal grampa was illiterate, so every song he learned was by ear.

No, she goes dashing across the cottage and leaps onto the dog bed and surfs across the floor, then she does it again from a different angle. She's into extreme sports, if you hadn't figured it out already - surfing, skydiving, tormenting the dog, etc.

Glad you liked it. Although, I think technically those were reels.

Is combat necessary in games?

I don't mind turn-based battles in my rpgs nearly as much as I mind action-rpg combat. I'm also not much into sandbox games without objectives, either. That was one of the things that impressed me about Journey - no obvious objective to tell you where to go next, but they made excellent use of human psychology to get you there.

Turn-based battles are the only ones I like, lol.

Hmm...I think this is a downloadable PS2 Classic on PSN. I may have found the cure to my gaming doldrums.

Cut it out you two! no breaking of the website that gave us refuge!

I think she's be better off going after the Twilight franchise, myself. She has some valid points, but the way she goes about it just annoys the living shit out of me. I want to tell her to put up or shut up, but that's just me.
