Ive been working on my irish riffs all day trying to get some new bagpipe sounding licks together. This is because Ive been listening to alot of dropkick murphys lately. anyway I thought I throw this song out there for anyone who watched nitro circus and liked the intro music. This riff is really catchy and i find myself whistling it alot. Enjoy!

Now honestly, I am under the weather with a hacking cough and a hot toddy served by a stranger's grandma would serve me well today. Or...just hand over the scotch, Granny!For me, nothing says St. Patrick's Day like the Dropkick Murphys (Quincy, Mass). This St. Patrick's Day I will be thinking of Red Sox games and how thankful I am that I don't live anywhere near Fenway Park anymore (overpopulat...

As my friend Bill (Ivylander) pointed out this morning,And yeah, call me humorless, but the depiction of Irishness as a concentrete of boozy bonhomie and twiddle-dee-dee dancing is insulting in a way that no nationality should be forced to endure, (http://mog.com/ivylander/blog/1252336)St Paddy's Day has become a day that the Irish culture is, frankly, puked upon. It's used as an excuse to get ...

The Dropkick Murphys have always been near and dear to me. While I've had a love-hate relationship at times with their style of music, I've always been able to lend them my hometown support. Now it seems that, again, I've come back full circle with this, their latest release. Maybe it's the echoes of seeing The Mighty Mighty Bosstones a dozen times back in college. Maybe it's the blue collar, h...

Hmm, I guess I would have to say that its like opening an empty box. I am so consumed by the comment/post aspect of Mog that I never really ventured past that point. So seeing as how I have more free time then usual I decided to check out Moggers like me. That would be cool. New and different people to talk to and see different ideas and points of view. A myriad of personalities were waiting fo...

Dropkick Murphys: State of MassachusettsYesterday, the fan-boy in me began to surface. I spent much of the day ruminating over the latest Dropkick Murphys disc _The Meanest Of Times_. Well, many of you shared similar thoughts, and I was so grateful for that. You see, that's what makes our little community so beautiful: so many different people sharing the same love for so many different typ...

Is it fate? As I was posting this vid, Kevin Youkilis CRUSHED a home run to give the Sox a 1-0 advantage in this do-or-die ballgame!

So the boys who provide the soundtrack to pretty much all things Boston, and Boston sports to be specific, are back with a new song that they penned specifically for the Improper Bostonian magazine. To quote the band:"The song is called "The Chosen Few" and it's a tongue and cheek take on what our city really thinks of "Bostons Best". Who knows if you all like maybe we'll do a proper recording of

So, I've been going to Pub Trivia most Tuesdays for about a year now. And recently, we've solidified a decent team that has a good core of three or so, but expands to a cast of characters ranging from 5 to 16 people for crying out loud. Is anybody else a trivia nut out there? I like the fact that I have shit to do on tuesday night. It's way better than watching American Idol.....

I was watching the Departed this weekend. I heard this song being played a couple times in the film. I just had to go find out who it was by. I found this video for it.

Late in the first month of 2007 it finally has happened, my first concert of the year. A friend asked me if I would join him and some others to Dropkick Murphys, and as always I said yes. So on to Tilburg, to the 013 venue, for me a first.I'm not a huge fan of Dropkick Murphys, but I like their music and I always enjoy going to concerts, even if I just like a band and I'm not particularly head ...
