[QUOTE=Kythereia] Don’t forget Dropkick Murphy’s “I’m Shipping Up to Boston” [/QUOTE] That’s what I’m listening to right now 🙂 Next up: Morrissey “Irish Blood, English Heart.” I’m disappointed to discover that “Celtic Aggression” by Tonic is somehow missing from my MP3 collection. I’ll have to rip it again later today. ---
