Music to my ears..of late
It's funny, I heard E and a certain knight-paladin (they could be twins), mention that they listen to Christmas music around this time of year....
...um....OK whatever makes you guys happy.....I don't, not because I don't LIKE that kind of music but because I am so sick and tired of all the commercialism and being bombarded WITH Christmas from about September onwards that by the time the season actually arrives I am ready to blow a gasket..
*I* on the other hand have been using the 'summer's over' mindset to listen to Celtic music - which I would normally listen to in March around my birthday (and ST. Pat's which is when my birthday is celebrated). Frankly, not that *I* NEED a reason to listen to Celtic music - I adore this type of music....
Lately I've been listening to the following:
Ashley MacIsaac:
This guy rocks! Pure and simple. He is amazing. I remember hearing from my ex at one point that Mr. MacIsaac was on one of the late night talk shows performing and while playing his fiddle he did a standing flip - well of course under his kilt he wore no underwear....now THAT'S BALLS! (pun intended) - love him - absolutely love him...
Flogging Molly:
This next one is a recent addition to my collection. I was told they were punk...um...ah...I don't think so. I like them regardless.
Tears of Stone:
Last but not least...from The Chieftains - this compilation is called Tears of Stone. Composed of women singing songs from the Irish tradition, it is wonderful and there's a lot of talent collected on this CD. I myself ADORE the Chieftains and have had the pleasure of seeing them a couple of times and would gladly see them again and again - the only thing better would be getting to see them at a Pub in Ireland...

The beauty of listening to Christmas music in the "off-season" is that you can enjoy it for what it is, instead of feeling like your listening to commercial theme music.
In a similar topic, this year I would like to set up some serious Christmas lighting. I'm going with LED lighting from now on too.
