If that's the best of Paddy Rock Radio, glad I havent wasted my time listening to it. Who chose these, Oprah? Sawdoctors, Prodigals, Black47 in the top 11? Great Big Sea? Is this guy still living in the '90's. I have CD's by them all, but not in the last few years at least. No Wages of Sin? Maybe Wages should consider themselves lucky NOT being on this list, considering how they screwed Larkin. I think Paddy Rock Radio's demographic is more widespread than S'n'O. Not to mention, I think we drink more! As much as I don't care for the Gaelic Storms, Black 47's, Young Dubs, etc, It's good they are getting some support somewhere... I still listen in to see what's going on. We drink it out of the bottle. All the others pour it into a glass. Bottoms up.

I just sent them both Larkin CD's.. as they had neither.. which makes me wonder how we got on their list.. also... we are going back in the studio in April to record 5 new songs for an EP.... mainly because we are bored and doing nothing while we wait for Karen to have her baby (no live shows smoke/loud music and such) hope everyone is well on here.. haven't been around much lately.. cheers/beers

Looks like Paddy has his list up... www.shitenonions.com/news_new.html#10Shite'n'Onions 2005 Best CDs 1. The Tossers: The Valley of the Shadow of Death - The clear winner 2. Neck: Sod ‘em & Begorrah - Celtic Punk masterpiece 3. The Kissers: Good Fight - most improved band 4. The Wages of Sin: Custom Of The Sea - readers fav. 5. The Electrics: Old, New, Borrowed and Green - career best (and they mention me) 6. The Zydepunks: ...and the streets will flow with whiskey - runbmg's top pick 7. Dropkick Murphys: Warrior's Code - solid and workman like 8. Larkin: Reckoning - taking up were BoW left off 9. McDermotts 2 Hours: Live at Ferneham Hall - raw and powerful, 20 years later 10.(joint) Blaggards: Standards - best new band (1) 10.(joint) Sharky Doyles: Back of the yards - best new band (2) Not bad...not bad at all. Was just browsing and read through this thread - clearly I'm well past the time for a useful contribution, but I did notice that I have 6 of the top 10 (well top 11) SnO albums of last year - which made me feel good for having such fine taste, and a bit frustrated for having missed a few clearly good Paddy Punk albums of last year... So anyway, I am hoping to get the Larkin, Zydepunks, Kissers and Sharky Doyles ones - don't know anything about McDermotts but I think 4 is probably enough for one day anyway I see that Larkin & Sharky Doyles are out of stock on this site, any ideas on the best place to get them? A wee bit of digging suggests interpunk.com but I haven't used that site before - so thought I'd better get some advice first!!! And as for my 2005 picks - The Tossers & Wages of Sin would have got my votes as the top 2 ;D And for 2006 - well plenty of the year left but The Go Set & The Killigans get a big tick with nominations for The Larkin Brigade & Greenland Whalefishers as well plus I have the feeling the next Mahones one will be worth a shot also. Slainte! P.S. - Seeing as the Bloody Irish Boys got a fair few mentions in the thread, figured I'd throw my 2 cents regarding the one track I've heard (Drunk Tonight off the Paddy Rock Radio compilation) - it sounded like someone had taken a Flogging Molly riff (i.e. Swagger), fucked it up a bit because they couldn't play properly, recorded it on a child's casio keyboard and spewed it forth onto a CD. (Nice pictures of the spewing by the way)

funny thing.. with the way most of us feel 'bout the BIB's .. they will probably be headlining the Warped Tour in a year or so... and the Tossers will be playing to 5 people in a basement.. (like Larkin does) (J/K) just seems to be the way things work.. ie.. never the way they are supposed to... time for a drink..
the new Larkin CDEP "Alexandra" should be out in late summer/early fall... on Know records... 6 songs... 5 original.. and one from the Curse sessions that did not make it on the first CD. maybe a bonus track.. who knows.. I am drunk...
cheers Chad/Larkin

At least they don't look like their starving to death anymore. I don't know how many people went to see them I don't know how many years ago, but for the love of god they should've told the 3 people that came to the show to bring food instead of paying to get in! I think the BIB are good at marketing, as opposed to bands that are good at making music but don't know how to market themselves or their music. I went to a few Irish fests last summer and there was always some kid handing out BIB CD-Rs to anyone who would take 'em. They got the music to as many people as possible, even if it was just a homemade CD-R.
