I've had a dirty cold for the last two weeks and have lost my voice, so I won't be saying much tonight. This episode does have a vague theme but you'll have to work it out for yourselves because I won't be able to explain it....

Tenuous Irish Connections:

The lead singer of the Count Five was a guy whose family had recently moved to California from Dublin.

Ray Davies from the Kinks lived in Ireland for a bit in the 80s.

Anohni's grandparents are Irish.

Gil Scott-Heron's dad played soccer for Celtic FC.

Thanks to everyone who tuned in! Bit of a grab bag of songs this week...
