Cinco De Mayo Taco Pizza. Have at it.

Just showed this to the missus. Her response was, “Taco pizza, pizza taco. What’s the difference?”

El Dos de Mayo y General Grouchy
Tuesday, 2 May 2017
By 1808, Spain had had just about enough of French Imperialism and Napoleon‘s occupation armies, and there was a bloody rebellion in Madrid that lasted for days (and led to The Peninsula War).
Francisco Goya was commissioned for paintings to commemorate the rebellion of Dos de Mayo a few years later in 1814.
Oh, and BTW, General Grouchy was a real dickhead.

Saturday Matinee – The Pogues, Ron Kavana & Rex McGhee
Saturday, 18 March 2017Every true Irishman knows that Saint Patrick’s Day doesn’t start at midnight. It begins at sunrise and ends at sunrise if you’re doing it right. My ancestry is Scots-Irish, which means I can drink without having to wear a kilt to play golf, and I don’t have to go to Confession afterwards.
One of The Pogues‘ classics.
Here’s another Pogues’ classic song, “Young Ned Of The Hill,” as performed by the original songwriter Ron Kavana (who didn’t write it).
This my favorite Irish Rebel Song:
Nell Flaherty’s Drake is a nice tune, but the original Broadside was pure sarcasm.
Have a great weekend, folks, and if we’re not back up on Sunday it’s due to an ongoing malware battle with a faux svchost.exe daemon.
Happy St. Patrick’s Day!

Apparently this phrase is now verboten, untersagt & unerlabt as dictated by the Amerikanisch-faschistisches Wort Polizeii:
Tá sé Lá Fhéile Pádraig! Póg mo thóin!

Saturday Matinee – Jimbino Vegan, Tuba Skinny, & The Rebirth Brass Band
Saturday, 25 February 2017
Apparently that’s Jimbino Vegan and someone or something known as Zugdidi with a decent backup band.
Tuba Skinny on the streets of NOLA. The dog gets it.
The Rebirth Brass Band are the real deal (but please, give us at least one chord change).
Have a great Mardis Gras and Do Watcha Wanna.
