mastershake has retired
Hey guys Mastershake is now Frank Ryan.
Aqua Teen Hunger Force has has turned stale and I've had that handle for awhile. So I decided to switch it up. Thanks Mike.

Any story behind the "Frank Ryan" moniker? Is this the smart football player?

The Pogues are one of my favorites. Kids today who are fans of Flogging Molly and other like bands don't understand that they owe thanks to Shane and Co.

Flogging Molly totally plagiarized and watered-down the Pogues sound. The Pogues are coming out with a 3 or 4 cd box set of previously unreleased or really hard to get material. I'm excited for that.

And to be fair, the Pogues owe thanks to bands like The Dubliners for paving the way. Take a look:

no doubt about it. the pogues and dubliners put out a cd ep together. the Pogues, and I guess I must admit FM have been very good for Irish trad bands they also owe a lot to Elvis Costello, who helped them refine their sound, and the Clash who took them on their first tour

That Shane could barely stand isn't a surprise. The dude downed a bottle of whiskey during the show I saw. Substance abuse has really taken a toll on the guy. Didn't know that about Phil. I hope he can get better, but if not, their music will still be played at my house.
