"Real meaning of life...stuff" - Daniel Jackson
Saturday, August 13, 2005

     I’ve been listening to a lot of Flogging Molly lately.  Gotta say, I like the Flogging Molly.  Their alternative credentials are solid.  Their sound is undeniably Celtic, but fused with classic rock, jazz and salted liberally with punk elements…and occasionally the solidly Celtic folk beat wanders into full-fledged Red-State American Country.  Though technically flawless, they somehow maintain a sense of spontaneity that is often lost as professional precision gained.  They dance blithely along the dangerous border where fusion becomes a muddled mess, without ever once putting a toe over the line.

You call that pretentious? You didn't use the words 'milieu', 'paradigm' or 'atonal' at all!

Yeah...I couldn't decide wetehr to go there, or try to suss out their probably musical influences thereby dropping names of bands I know about to establish my rep. as a PERSON WHO KNOWS THESE THINGS.

guess I just sort of did the squirril in the road thing and ran up the middle, missing all the targets in the process...

...oh well, nobody becomes an egredgious hack over night.

back to the drawingf board.
