Carmen,

You know, the lights shine right in one's eyes - it's true: I spent all the show singing to Frank, the singer from Dead Rock West, who was conveniently standing under some lights, right at the back of the room and was the only person I could actually see. Come up to me next time and reintroduce yourself, won't you?

Come up to me next time and reintroduce yourself, won't you?

"Next time?" And that would be when, exactly? I'm just itching to update the News... section with new dates.

[rockers1977]

We're trying to figure out something in May, at Molly Malone's again, which is a good place to play, at least the other bands sound good, and loud. Probably the latter half of May, but I'll let you know.

It's kind of refreshing being able to go on about the gigs one might or might not do, without some distant promoter getting the hump.

James, it seems to me that suddenly there's a flurry of shows from you this year. The last time I can remember you performing (other than at The Pogues shows) was on that brief Low & Sweet Orchestra tour. Were there shows going on that we just didn't know about, or is this a new return to performance for you?

Yes, Tarantino indeed! Well executed but can you do Italian as well?

[JamesFearnley]

Don't know about Italian, but it's an idea. I love the sound of Italian. I was looking at Yiddish the other day and that looks like an attractive language to do a song in. Barry Sisters maybe, I thought to begin with, but probably not, or something like Shtetele Beltz or whatever.

What's chingada mean?

[territa]

What's chingada mean?

In South Texas, "chingada" loosely means f___ed, as in screwed, not in the pleasant way. "A la chingada" is an expression heard more commonly, which might translate to "well, f__k me." A "chingadera" could refer to just about anything. "Hijo de la chingada" is another familiar string -- son of the .....

It's a Mexican colloquialism, so it's meaning and use might be different in other locales.

[Goya]

Chingada, is one of the few spanish words I'm familiar with and with good reason one might say. Clint ruin has a song entitled Chingada! All in Spanish. Meant as a joke.

[JamesFearnley]

Thanks for your help. The word is going to go straight into my vocabulary book.

[MacRua]

Thank for reminding about Barry Sisters, Mr.Fearnley!!!
always loved them but have not managed to get a CD or something yet. Now (due to your post) I am downloading them, listening and getting the greatest pleasure
Authentic klezmer is great too. I developed an interest after last year's klezfest...

[Goya]

DRECK! Yes, Yiddish is a lovely language. It would be wonderful to hear more often in songs.
