Green Notes
LitMusicians: we need to assemble a class playlist for tomorrow, when we all become Irish, right?! So, I'll get things started: "Falling Slowly" by The Frames; "Devil's Dance Floor," by Flogging Molly; "Isn't it Amazing" by Hothouse Flowers; "World of Good" by The Saw Doctors; and "In a Little While" by U2. (It's a shame Hothouse Flowers never got the attention they deserved in the U.S.: great band, with at least two great albums; I guess the same applies to The Frames, although at least they got a bit of a boost from Glen Hansard's success with The Swell Season). Happy St. Patrick's Day! (and I think I've just decided that our featured movie this semester, which we'll watch after the break, will have to be The Commitments!)

ReplyDeleteI think that "Kiss Me I'm Shitfaced" by the Dropkick Murphys is appropriate today (if it is every truly an appropriate song). I would also recommend their song "Black Velvet Band" for some high-intensity river dancing
ReplyDeleteThe first song I thought of was "Galway Girl" by Steve Earle and then anything by Enya, the most famous I could think of was "Rose's Theme" (I didn't know it was called that!) from Titanic. Then, I'm not sure how much it has to do with Ireland, but there's "The Unicorn Song," sung by the Irish Rovers, which was originally a poem by Shel Silverstein.
