I'm cross eyed tired. Just home from a twelve hour studio session. I'm producing the new Spanker record, so every day I'm not gigging is filled with an eight to twelve hour studio session. Legendary Austin blues fan, convict and club owner, Clifford Antone died today. I started and ended today listening to The Pogues album, Rum, Sodomy and the Lash. This record starts and ends with two of the greatest songs ever written. No one can sing the words "lazy, drunken bastards" like Shane MacGowen. If you were here we'd crack open a bottle of whiskey and listen to The Sick Bed Of Cuchulainn through And The Band Played Waltzing Matilda. If the bottle wasn't gone by the end, we'd put on the record Small Change by Tom Waits to polish it off. Waltzing Matilda into Waltzing Matilda. Wanna dance?

Nothing goes with the Pogues like Bushmills....A new Spankers' record - hip hip hooray! Any idea when we can expect it? I think I can promise you a review in Japan.
Nice to see you haven't abandoned the blog altogether.
 
Bushmills?
It is possible you do not understand us...
Perhaps it was Dublin whiskey that has done this to our teeth.
Quick,
name a whiskey of Dublin,
a mhic!
