Punts and “Puke Ass” Bagman with music from the following groups:
This is titled “Puke Ass” because I made Bagman laugh so hard in episode 00017 that he threw up. This week he started off our show with more talk about how damned sick he is AGAIN.
If you wouldn't mind boosting my fragile self-esteem...

I'm not a script writer like Radhruin, but I am the Google Mistress.
If I ever need to search for anything that isn't showing up in the normal search at The Sixty One, such as a detail I remember from a band footprint page, but I can't remember the name, I use Google. The trick is to search the site. For example, if you're looking for bands from Ireland, you could try entering this in the google search box:
site:thesixtyone.com ireland
I've put together a search box that is easier because it will search the site without entering the site:thesixtyone.com.
Another tip: Did you know you can use Google as a calculator? Try entering some numbers - say you need to know what 15% off of 87 is. In Google, put 87*.85 in the search box (since 100-15=85.... I can do that one in my head. lol.) I use this all the time because I always have my browser open, but going to my Dashboard can be tedious.
Happy St. Paddy's Day to everyone! Here's playlist for today, which will most definitely put you in the spirit for green beer and corned beef and cabbage.
Christy Moore is a well-known Irish folk singer/songwriter, and guitarist, "known for his political and social commentary, which reflects a left wing Irish Republican perspective." The Pogues, performing the same song, are also use a lot of political commentary in their music (politically themed songs are very common with Irish musicians, it seems.) The Pogues have a punk rock sound but used traditional Irish instruments such as the mandolin and tin whistle."This song is not a rebel song, this song is Sunday Bloody Sunday." Another example of politically themed Irish music, a terrific cover of the classic U2 song which describes "the horror felt by an observer of The Troubles in Northern Ireland". Now for something a little less serious... House of Pain, an Irish-American hip-hop group that was very popular in the mid-90s, just as I was finishing college. Oh, those were the days. What St. Paddy's Day would be complete with out a song about drinking pints?Ro Tierney is an extremely talented singer/songwriter from Ireland. We have something in common too. His favorite book is The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho and so is mine.Conan Brophy is from the West of Ireland. I instantly liked Conan's sound when I heard it at The Sixty One. His voice reminds me of Ian Brown's. Conan's music runs the gamut from happy pop to more folky stuff and even electronic and he pulls it all off with finesse.Analogue Mindfield blends elements of Trip-Hop, Reggae, Drum and Bass and Ambient sounds and they're from Dublin. Check out their MySpace for more music, since they only have one song on The Sixty One at this time.West of Eden are the charming folksy pop duo, Kenn Davis and Cindy O'Keeffe from County Wicklow, Ireland and Dublin. Fern Knight is a Philadephia based singer songwriter. This song seemed fitting enough to include for today's festivities.
To think, I was going to hit all (Apocalypse's) 15 signs. Guess I'm not a True T61'er after all. Anyhow, here's some more to consider in no particular order...maybe we can shoot for the "Top 61 signs..." (though, mine aren't very humorous but perhaps more applicable to some devoted listeners)
