New favorite podcast: Irish & Celtic Music Podcast
The monthly Irish & Celtic Music Podcast is radidly becoming one of my top favorite podcasts. It tends to be both more traditional-sounding and more whimsical than the Celtic Music News Podcast, as well as a bit less talkative. Much of it ends up reminding me a lot of what I might hear at a Renaissance fair. (The CMN Podcast, on the other hand, leans more toward the influence of Celtic rock, and sometimes the Celtic connection is a little tenuous there.)
The first edition of the Irish & Celtic Music Podcast introduced me to the Wild Kitty. ("No, nay never (meow meow meow meow), no nay never no more (meow meow), will I be a wild kitty (meow), no never, no more.") In the latest, oversized 90-minute edition, we learn that there's a whole CD, Irish Drinking Music for Cat Lovers coming soon, and we hear "Lord of the Pounce".
Today we also get "The Ballad of Joss", to the tune of "Hero of Canton" / "The Man They Call Jayne" / "The Ballad of Jayne" / "Jayne's Theme" (the true title seems to be somewhat obscure). And did you know that there's a podcast dedicated to Firefly?
We also get an Emerald Rose song from their brand-new album. Emerald Rose is a Pagan/Celtic band that we heard and met at PSG, so it was odd to hear that familiar voice on a podcast. It was another "Hey, I sorta know that guy singing!" moment.
There's lots of other good stuff, but those were the highlights for me.
Update: Turns out the guy behind this podcast and the cat songs is on LiveJournal:![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
