Song of the Day #2: Streams of Whiskey

Today´s song of the day is performed by "The Bloody Irish Boys". Fortunately I found it on youtube as I don´t think that this band is very popular. There are many bands I listen to that can´t be found on youtube, that´s why I was happy to find at least this one there. Enjoy it and tell me if you like it.

Albums of my Life #2: Smash

Smash
Released: April 8, 1994
Recorded: October–December 1993
Genre: Punk Rock
Label: Epitaph

Actually I can´t describe what this album means to me. My vocabulary (no matter which language) is just too small. In retrospect I´d say that I would have paid any amount to get Offspring´s best album. This album´s sacred! It´s one of very few albums that have to be seen as a whole. Every single song is just great! If I had to live on a desert island for the rest of my life and whoever sends me there grants me to take along one CD - Smash would be the one.
My favorite songs: Genocide, Self Esteem, Smash
(and 11 other songs on this CD)

Irish Folk #2

Here´s another example of Irish music. I like this song. It was the first time I heard it when I saw this video. In our pedestrian precinct you see a lot of those guys. Some play the recorder, some the violin and some beat the drums or play Bob Marley songs on their guitar which actually isn´t very Irish but I love it nevertheless. I´m not used to so many musicians in the streets but I like it that way, here in Cork.

Worst Soundtrack Ever

A few days ago I watched the "cult film" Scarface. And I was really surprised at the soundtrack - negatively. To be honest, it was the most disappointing soundtrack I know. However, there are some soundtracks of movies I saw recently that I do like. I liked "Ferris Bueller's Day Off", "Death Proof", "Run Fat Boy Run", and the "Detroit Rock City" soundtrack. What are your favorite soundtracks, or the soundtracks you hate most?

Irish Folk #1

Almost every country has its own music culture. And I guess German "Volksmusik" has by far the smallest fan community. Irish folk music, however, has much more fans. And since I´m in Ireland now, I´ve been looking for some great Irish folk music stuff. How do you like this one?

Give A Man A Kick - Live in Cork

There´s a great pub in Cork, Ireland that invites bands to play there.
It´s called "An Bróg". On October 17th "Give A Man A Kick" will play there.
And the best thing is that it´s for free. And since I don´t drink alcohol,
it´s going to be a very cheap night for me. Check out my two favorite videos. Give a Man a Kick kicks a**!

Hip Hop Imitator

I came across this hip hop artists imitating guy called Aries Spears. Maybe you´ve heard of him. In this video he imitates the voices of LL Cool J, Snoop Dogg, Jay-Z and DMX. And I have to admit - he really rocks! Let me know if you know some similar videos of him.

I WANNA BE #1: Jay-Z

I wanna be Jay-Z because...

- Forbes.com says he´s got 34 mio. dollars
- he´s not just a musician, actually he´s a songwriter, a record executive, a CEO and a president too.
- then I would be married to Beyoncé...

My favorite of the week: Jay-Z! What about you?
