I felt pretty sorry that I forgot to add a traditional instrumental Irish jig to today’s radioshow, because it’s St. Patrick’s Day today. I don’t quite remember days like these but I have always felt some connection with Ireland perhaps because of the green fields or the beer/fight/curse culture, so I decided to unload some traditional stuff today for St. Paddy’s Day

With the lack of any nice electronica to post, and general return to more guitar music for me for the last week, I think I would post some nice rock music..

I was going to mention Trail of Dead’s Worlds Apart which is a great song, but Think Tank has got it covered, I thought about posting Animal Collective’s Grass but that’s covered by The Camera as Pen as well.. Some Saxon Shore? Well more than 3 songs have been posted by mp3blogs, so a 4th one would be too much (respect the artists!)..

That’s why I turn back to the beginning of the year, to a great album gone unmentioned by mp3blogs . That’s God is an Astronaut’s All Is Violent, All Is Bright album.. These 3 blokes from Dublin, (Mogwai anyone?) rocked my ears for so long, it would be a shame if I passed this song. (God it rhymes.. )

So here’s a great atmospheric instrumental track for you, very melodic and melancholic..

I’ve got a few more tracks lined up here and I’m digging the crates for more, so stay tuned!
