Happy st Patrick's, shadowfam! If you are not Irish or Christian, it's still a good occasion to wear green or/and shamrock jewelry and drink some beer on Friday evening! Cheers, beautiful people from Magnus and from me!

I recently have gotten a Hammered Dulcimer and am going to being learning to play it soon, and so ive been listening to lots of people playing it.

Hammered Dulcimers are usually used in funky folk music, and lots of mech songs happen to also be based on folk music! This has several times led to me listening to a fun folk tune being played by someone with a dulcimer, and then they switch to a different song and i just instinctively start yelling out "BUY YOURSELF YOUR FREEDOM WITH YOUR BLOODIED HANDS, IN SERVICE TO THE FAMILY AS THE FAVOURED SON" before i realise their playing an irish folk song and not Favoured Son by the Mechanisms

#OTD in 1984 – Death of Luke Kelly, lead vocalist and 5-string banjo member of the Dubliners.

Luke Kelly was a singer and folk musician from Dublin, most famous as a member of the band ‘The Dubliners’. Indeed, while Luke often sang of the poor, the oppressed, the worker, the lover or the rebel –the realities of his own life and upbringing enlivened and gave weight to his songs and the emotional way in which he sang them. And his own childhood and youth was anything but privileged. Born on…

I don’t know if any of my mutuals speak Irish at all, but if you do, I have a bit of a puzzle: I passed a road in Dublin this weekend called “Stannaway Road,” whose Irish name given below it was “Bothar bhothar na gLoch” if I recall correctly. I know “Bothar” is Irish for “road” so that element appearing twice sort of makes sense if it’s translating the -way part also (though it seems weirdly literal to name a road “something road road”). But I can’t figure out how the rest of the Irish name corresponds to the “Stanna-“ part. Sometimes English names of Irish placenames are vaguely modeled on the Irish name phonetically (Kildare = Cill Dara), sometimes they’re translations, and sometimes they’re totally unrelated (Dublin = Baile atha Cliath, “Hurdleford Town”), but I can’t tell quite what’s going on here.

#I wonder if Dublin city council names the roads in Irish or English first

It took me until Dublin to find a pub with this name - unfortunately there were no blonde members of bar staff with poor communication skills and delusions of literary grandeur outside having a Smoke Break, but you can't win them all...

a problem with trad folk is you'll hear a song and you'll think oh i am sure i have heard that exact tune before and you will be right! you have! but good fucking luck narrowing it down further than that

i really want to like the mechanisms because objectively their work is Extremely Fucking Cool but the music really just doesn't do it for me.

except for Favored Son. it comes up on shuffle and a grin breaks across my face and a draw in a huge breath in preparation to go

Come on in, boy, I hear you've a right to call me father!

It's so good.

#tbh i just really like the rocky road to dublin #wha- what the FUCK did you do? it was FUCKING SET UP!

Before I fall asleep tho. Derry is such a beautiful, beautiful city. I feel like God kissed my stubborn, catastrophizing head square on the forehead and told me "No, you'll be exactly where you need to be today."
