this was good advice imo

^^^

deems what sort of albums are you referring to there

We must face facts. Deems, although we may love him as much as any man this side of idolatry, has little latin and less greek. Takes him down a peg or two.

idk do I like an entire album. I'd struggle to pick five I'd bother to take to a desert island.

the aul fella used to have Latin got him nowhere has Irish got him nowhere had Norwegian got him to Norway didnt bother with Dutch despite living there for years I said I'd stick with French and English they were forcing me to learn those but at least they didn't claim I had a moral duty to love em unlike with the gaeilge

the posh school on the island still did Latin as of 99 which is just lunacy imho

was a time all the posh boyos had latin up the wazoo. what's more, you could kick a ball in the street.

we had a posh school, absolutely no posh boyos tbh

heard youve been downloading some really interesting albums lately deems

denied

huh

maybe it was wins then
all of these single syllable ilx posters

def heard wins was super into feeder and 'the chillis' right now

i have heard albums by those bands

that might be it?

it was some time ago tho

The Chillis

Jens Ehm - Gitarren, Leadstimme –

Jens ist neben dem Bassisten Mülli eines der zwei Urgesteine der CHILLIS. Bereits 1985 gründeten Sie zusammen Ihre erste Band. Im Laufe der Jahre entwickelte sich ein eigener Stil, geprägt durch die klare und ausdrucksvolle Stimme des Leadsängers und seine Leidenschaft zum akustischen Gitarrenspiel. Spätestens als er dann die Elektrogitarre sein Eigen nannte, war der typische Chilli-Mix vom Akustik Pop bis hin zu Soul, Funk, Reggae & Rock geboren !
Seine meist weiblichen Fans verlangen stets nach dem eigens komponierten „Schmuse-Hit“ Sunhine und können gar nicht genug davon bekommen.en…

Michael „Mülli“ Müller - Bass, Gesang, Stage-Announcements, Keyboard –

Hallo und willkommen zum BÄSSten Teil dieser Homepage! Wie schon erwähnt ist Mülli eines der zwei Urgesteine von THE CHILLIS. Seine prägnante Zweitstimme harmoniert durch das jahrelange gemeinsame Zusammenspiel so perfekt mit der Leadstimme von Jens, dass sie für alle Zeiten, als nie mehr ersetzbar scheint. Darüber hinaus verleiht Mülli, den im Programm anstehenden Songs, immer wieder ihre Eigennote, durch spezielle und überraschende Announcements -sprich Ansagen- , die beim Zuhörer Verwirrung bis hin zu schweren Erheiterungszuständen auslösen. Außerdem drückt er ab und an die weißen und schwarzen Tasten, so dass es sich möglichst groovisch, jazzig, oder irgendwie abgefahren zum musikalischen Spiel seiner Kollegen
hinzufügt.

Uli Maier -Gitarren, Chorgesänge-

Uli ist, wie sein Nachname erkennen lässt, verwandschaftlich mit dem Schlagzeugmann Micha Maier verbunden. Ja ja ja, der Bruder ! Im zarten Jugendalter erwarb der junge Ulrich eine Gibson ES 335, welche bis heute und darüber hinaus, immer wieder diverse Nebenbuhler zur Seite gestellt bekommt - meist in Form eines *Paddels - in den Farben "Blond" und "abgerockter Sonnenuntergang" (Info: *Telecaster - für die Nichtmusiker unter der werten Leserschaft). All diese Schätzchen inklusive dem filigranen Gitarrenspiel Ulrichs’ entzücken auch, in letzter Zeit verstärkt, immer wieder den weiblichen Teil der Zuhörerschar.

Micha „Der Kapitän“ Maier -Schlagwerk, Chorgesänge-

Micha der Kapitän an der schweren Batterie lenkt alle seine Mitstreiter sicher und zielgesteuert durch alle Untiefen der musikalischen Darbietungswelt. Dies tut er schon fast sein ganzes Leben lang und nebenbei ist er wie bereits erwähnt auch der Bruder von Gitarrenmann Uli. Bevorzugte Musikstile sind alle bei denen es groovt, swingt, dingelt, shakert, etc.
Nicht mehr wegzudenken - Chillis Betriebsrente guaranteed !

Der Kapitän war schon in den verschiedensten bekannten Bands wie z.B. Spider Murphy Gang (All-Star-Band),

Infrarot (early 80's), Flex Machine,

KEINE AHNUNG, Müller, Maier, Schmitt zu Gange.

The Chillis werden Sie begeistern – „Accoustic & Live“

want to return to this question. didn't have an answer back then but have recently discovered bourbon and it's been a revelation. favorite so far is maker's but i suspect that's a novice answer.

if you let that worry you at the start you'll never graduate from novice ime.

I f/w sweeter pot stills and single malts, I can recommend peatier stuff I've tried but that's nakh's range tbh. never could stick yr American ryes or w/e but I have enjoyed bourbons, fave is prob- no snob nor expert here- jack daniels single barrel.

go-to and memorables- glenfiddich 12, Yamazaki 12, green spot, redbreast single pot, bushmills 16, glenmorangie 10 (I think) Glenlivet 12

tonight I'm drinking tesco finest reserve from a fuckin big glass and there's nothing at all wrong with it

favourite...for example of Irish prob redbreast. scotch Glenfiddich 12. no categories straight up pick one, tonight yamazaki

i always thought it was strange that, given my family's irish heritage, we have gravitated more toward scotch than irish whiskey. i can't ever remember my grandfather drinking jameson's or bushmill's. scotch seems harsher and less accessible to me than bourbon, but i think i will give it a shot again soon.

i feel a pleasant buzz right now from two glasses of bourbon while doing my reading for class tomorrow. only downside is that i've been kind of unrestrained in my facebook messaging but i think this has been positive and ultimately what i am doing is solidifying friendships.

idk bout that but drunk posting to ilx made me the man I am today

how do you rate the band 'biffy clyro'

never knowingly heard m8

thats a shame

noticed u did a sort of fake erse version of the displayname of the poster formerly known as 'ice cr?m' today

how would u do the same thing for noted irish american treesh?

hmmm

could go literal or alliteral

trísiop would suffice for latter but would mean v little I'm afraid

crannlong is basic string two together translation but rly I'm guessing you'd have to make it longcrainn or maybe crann an loinge or some such

there is a word or two a little more decorative that may or may not apply depending on the lad himselfs self-definition of the name I spose crannúil is a good descriptor and a good word to intone and would translate as treeish if one were so inclined or w/e (arboreal? you prob know)

there's doubtless words specifically for timbers and such if one chased this root to a nautical conclusion but then I guess in order to so work it would need to function on the ship and work back giving....idk.

quick search sez crannàil are masts he may have to be satisfied with that as a good metaphor and half translation.

no i mean a purely phonetic version of 'treesh'

a phrase that if spoken by an erse speaker would have the same pronunciation as 'treesh' does to an english speaker

trísiop is cool though, what would it be without the second syllable

ya just drop the iop and trís would do it so

trís

thats cool

fuck you, you got in 35 seconds ahead of me!!!

nách tí bhean? almost translates to "is there a woman of the house?" which is a good portentous type of intro to something i think, i mean it's def a bit garbled and simplified but imagine brendan fraser playing connemara man (encino man in the US rly?) and it prob works

have u read heinrich bolls ireland book

nope but obv i will have known the cottage, my paternal aunt is heavily involved iirc

she's one of my favourite ppl she is a lecturer in feminist theology and christian ritual we have marvellous fights
