St. Patrick's Day show tracks for Sat. Mar. 17/12

So is today International Hangover Day then? With St. Patrick's Day being on a Saturday this year, I suppose the parties had to be even more epic with today being a day off for most. Hope you all got home safe and sound.

As you can tell by the setlist we went heavy on the Irish artists last night. It even worked out that the LP Session was an Irish artist, The Frank & Walters. Even a couple of the new releases were Irish as well.
Even if you aren't Irish I hope you enjoyed the show. But I promise that's the last theme show for a while. I'm exhausted planning all these theme shows. Hopefully, next Saturday isn't International Brown Haired People Who Own Chinchillas Day...where am I going to find music for that! lol

Still managed to get in a few new releases as well. Including new music from The School (Thanks Liz!), Veronica Falls, Dexys, Tall Ships and more.

Another busy week. The Jammys voting was opened up. See the post from yesterday on how to vote (hopefully many times) for your fave British indie/alternative show. That would be this one.
I promise I won't bother you again until Pledge Drive time...lol

So how busy a man will Damon be this year. His new side project with Flea from RHCP just dropped their new single. And there is a Blur album later this year. Plus he has been rumoured to have resurrected The Good, The Bad & The Queen. How many hours are there in his day?


Gaz Coombes Presents...well, his new solo album that's what. And he's letting you download the first track for free. That's mighty nice of him. Follow the link to grab it.
