Bostonians improperly dropkicked

Anonymous — Mon, 01 Dec 2008 18:20:10 -0500

I was a big fan of the Dropkick Murphys hit and Red Sox fight song "I'm Shipping Up To Boston" which also found its way to the soundtrack for The Departed (on YouTube here.) Their more recent effort from this summer, which they wrote for Improper Bostonian is called "The Chosen Few" and has been derided as "sorta like drunken karaoke." What do you think? Lyrics after the break.

Jim's Big Ego "free" -- listen, love it, buy it for free

amusings — Wed, 10 Sep 2008 22:52:45 -0400

So I know this guy Jim Infantino. I met him in the late 80s when I managed a coffee house and slummed around with folk musicians. Twenty years on, he's a band now called Jim's Big Ego (see http://www.bigego.com ) An ego so big it needs three people on stage to get all that amazing music out there. He's (They've) got a new album coming out, and I figured I'd share it here because there are some folks who will really totally dig his political message and the music.

Your favorite Boston anthem

The Dropkick Murphys I'm Shipping Up To Boston was a ready made fight song for the Red Sox during the championship run, and it also gave some punch and local flavor to Scorsese's Boston-based crime thriller, The Departed.
