It’s March and we all know what that means! St Patrick’s Day is right around the corner. This month’s ReadJunk Playlist is dedicated to Celtic and folk songs that will get you in the green spirit; and well for others the drinking spirit! This playlist is an easy one for me considering this is one of my favorite genres of music and something I listen to all year round. I’m not one of those phony “Kiss Me I’m Irish” people that breaks out their shirt and stupid green and white Mad Hater hat every year. Perhaps this playlist will give you a bit of a variety than just listening to Dropkick Murphys or Flogging Molly. Here we go!

What better way to celebrate St Patrick’s Day with a new Flogging Molly CD and DVD! Flogging Molly have released live music before but not a full-length concert. The same goes with a full-length concert DVD. Their documentary DVD Whiskey on a Sunday was fantastic and this concert is another example of the band’s excellence. Fans will be treated with a double CD and a full bonus DVD of the same concert. This concert was filmed at the Greek Theatre in Los Angeles on September 12, 2009. All of their albums are represented here including most of their newest album “Float.”

“Now this punch drunk grinning soul, in its corner begs no more.” Lyrics made more haunting by Flogging Molly’s new music video for their single, “Punch Drunk Grinning Soul.” Originally penned as an allegorical biography about a young man who unexpectedly committed suicide, the video takes the theme one step further and applies it to a malady faced by millions of people the world over post traumatic stress disorder or PTSD.

Every year I see news about the Punk Rock Bowling Tournament, and every year I feel like going. Just kind of hard to book tickets for a show that’s far away in Las Vegas. Besides Flogging Molly and NOFX, Fucked Up, Swinging Utters, The Revival Tour, Youth Brigade, Cobra Skulls, and Teenage Bottlerocket will be playing with the punk rock festival that is taking place over 3 days. And it’s open to the general public this year, so that’s pretty sweet! More details are below:

“Good evening Los Angeles, we’re Flogging Molly and this is what we do.” Those were the first words from singer Dave King on the evening of September 12, 2009, when Flogging Molly took the stage at the legendary Greek Theatre in Los Angeles, CA. For a man who twelve years prior was playing at the helm of what was arguably a local bar band, headlining the Greek Theatre was surely a crowning achievement for him and his six compatriots.
