Thin Lizzy

Reading Rock '83

Griff's Blogg (Free subscription) | 11/05/2009

More pictures in the same box, it seems unreal now that we saw Thin Lizzy, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Ten Years After and Sabbath all in the same weekend for just fifteen quid.

The birds are back in town.

Poor Richard's Almanac (Free subscription) | 11/05/2009

With all due apologies to Thin Lizzy and “The Boys Are Back in Town,” our friend Ben and Silence Dogood have been enjoying the return of our winter birds here at our cottage home, Hawk’s Haven, located in the precise middle of nowhere, PA. We’d kept up three tube feeders through the summer, enjoying the [...]

Horslips: High Reel

Marathon Pundit (Free subscription) | 11/05/2009

Last week I posted a video of 1970s Celtic rock pioneers Horslips performing the "The Man Who Built America," and I described them as a combination of Jethro Tull, Thin Lizzy, and The Pogues. Although it's a great song, there wasn't anything Pogues-like with that tune. "High Reel" moves the needle a bit in that direction, although the feel of it is more in line with British folk...

Friday 11.27.09: JAPANDROIDS / SURFER BLOOD @ echo

the echo and echoplex (Free subscription) | 11/04/2009

[ November 27, 2009; 8:00 pm to 11:55 pm. ] Japandroids || Listen what makes Post-Nothing such a thrill is the manner in which Japandroids hold absolutely nothing back. As contagious as any of the lyrics, melodies, riffs, or drum fills are, their energy and lack of self-consciousness is every bit as equally lovable. Opening mission statement "The Boys Are Leaving Town" could be seen [...]...

Dancing in the moonlight

Lancashire and Lakeland Outback Adventure Wildlife... (Free subscription) | 11/04/2009

Can’t beat a bit of Thin Lizzy! But it was more like ‘trudging in the moonlight’ as the safari staggered the hill towards Patch 1 hunched against the rain. At least there was a bit of light from the moon as the clouds broke between downpours and in the gardens a couple of Robins twittered their melancholy winter song as we passed. On the Patch nothing much was doing at all, somewhat...

Julian Casablancas- Phrazes For The Young

Einstein Music Journal (Free subscription) | 11/03/2009

Julian Casablancas- Phrazes For The Young 8/10 Marrying sunny melodies with despondent lyrics, The Strokes’ lead singer and mastermind Julian Casablancas has shed his gritty punk rock demeanour for more eclectic experimentalism with his debut solo LP. Perhaps it was a determined move to ensure his detractors had a harder job pigeonholing him, harder than they’d have [...]

With Apologies to Thin Lizzy....the Bears are Back in Town? (Halloween Edition)

Fund my Mutual Fund (Free subscription) | 10/30/2009

As of 20 minutes ago Doug Kass was "layering into more long exposure with JPM and PNC (banks)" I have readers telling me to cover. We have some enormous intraday gains on these puts... for once I'm going to be greedy. We'll be willing to give up all the gains up to say S&P 1049-1050. If so, we'll just end the day where we began, which isn't a bad outcome either. It really is a lonely...

It's Lunacy I tell you, the Moon is driving us crazy!

The 'Spill (Free subscription) | 10/30/2009

The Moon has held a strange fascination over our imaginations ever since our hominid ancestors first looked up and gazed upon our closest companion. The Moon has been seen as the abode of strange beings, the cause of Madness (hence Lunacy), the power that triggers Lycanthropy and many other things too. Musically, Moon has traditionally been rhymed with June, but that hasn't stopped musicians using...

Horslips: The Man Who Built America

Marathon Pundit (Free subscription) | 10/29/2009

Take the sounds of Jethro Tull, Thin Lizzy, and The Pogues, throw it into a blender, and the result will be 1970s Irish band Horslips. Leave it to the Irish to write so eloquently about America: See him driving those golden nails that hold together the silver bars That one day gonna take us to the stars cos he's the man who built America See him walking the golden wire a million miles from his starting...

Video diary from my long run in the rain

30 seconds over (Free subscription) | 10/28/2009

Really dreary morning here, fog, cold, drizzly rain and of course, dark as midnight until about 7 a.m. I’ve been pretty disciplined lately about listening to stuff I need to listen to, but this morning I went a bit off the res and heard a bunch of albums that I’ve been done with for a while…here’s what came up random-style. Thin Lizzy “Jailbreak” I reviewed Still...

Solo ... it's off the radar and disappeared without trace!

The 'Spill (Free subscription) | 10/26/2009

Jumpin' The Gunn - Shades Of Blue . Does anyone know where I can go and buy a couple of extra days to sneak into this weekend's RR nomination window? This "Songs With Super Solos" topic is almost certainly my favourite in over three years of blogging on GU, yet I've barely scratched the surface of the pool of songs I could easily recommend. Some are well-known enough that they don't really...

Mind the gap

Word Magazine blogs (Free subscription) | 10/22/2009

I've just been listening to The Damned's 'Machine Gun Etiquette' on Spotify. Off kicks 'Love Song' and as it nears the end I sit grinning expectantly at my computer waiting for the 'GO!' that brilliantly seperates/joins it from/to the title track. Instead I get Arthur Smith telling me about British Gas. Understand me - I'm not complaining (free music? Yes please!) but it got me thinking about those...
