Great song.
Canice was a great auld front man.
Early-mid 90s was golden era for Irish music

What a song

May as well throw My Little Funhouse up there as well to complete this theme of Kilkenny Rock Bands from the early 90ā€™s. These lads probably went closer to making the big breakthrough than the other two, got signed by Geffen Records, were being touted as the next Guns nā€™ Roses and even supported them at Slane in 92.

Strange to see three rock bands come out of the same rural town around the same time and all of them having a reasonable level of successā€¦ There mustnā€™t have been a hurler among the three of them!

Engine Alley were alright, nothing to write home about. Infamy was a much better song

The stranglers were a 70s band . Golden Brown was a comeback in 1981 . Great band but post 81 was safe stuff .

Ah no, they were a brilliant band, unbelievable live, song for someone is a lovely tune

But time makes you bolder
Even children get older
And Iā€™m getting older too
Oh, Iā€™m getting older too

Outstanding tune

Neil Young has just released his entire catalog in high resolution on his own site. The default setting is 320kbps, switch to Master for High Res.

He is, or was, indeed. I use to not like the guy at all and for no particular reason other than he was a wife beater. But I saw an interview once where he basically admitted than he was a bit of a cunt in the past and that he was truly sorry. The impressive bit was when the interviewer tried to get away from that part of the discussion, Brown stayed with it insisting on finishing his tale so that there was no ambiguity at all about how regretful he was. I had great admiration for him afterwards and began to listen to some of his music.
