"Kiss Me, I'm Irish . . .

[drpaisley]

. . . and slip me some tongue, I'm French, too."

Or so says a t-shirt I heard about last Saturday whilst working on preparation for the St. Patrick's Day chaos coming up. Rohanna and I will be riding on the float for the Harp & Shamrock, which is the fan club for Bob Reeder, as well as a charitable organization that helps to provide hearing aids for children. We'll be on the float, come rain or snow or whatever, at the Snake Saturday parade in North Kansas City, and the big one Monday. C'mon out and have some fun!

Before we get to the tunes themselves, I want to share a great music site with you all. Stereogum covers rock of all kinds, with a focus on up and coming indie performers. And they post lots and lots of MP3s for your listening pleasure. Right now they are highlighting bands who are performing at the SouthbySouthwest Festival in Austin. They are one of the reasons I'm up to 6779 songs in my iTunes. Stereogum is definitely worth checking out.

Oh, and just when you thought it was safe to go back to the candystore, Smofbabe:

The Bacon Lollipop. Via Scalzi, who points out that the next logical step is the bacon-cheddar lollipop. Om nom nom nom.

And happy π Day, everyone!
