ReadJunk Playlist: March 2010 (St Patrick’s Day Edition)
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!

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.”
