Sorry. I haven't thought of a catchy name for this yet

Since I feel like I've been neglecting this place a little bit once we've started to get into the teeth of the college football schedule, I thought I'd try to add another feature here at Only in America.

Sendspace happens to be another, relatively new, wonder of this thing we call the internet, so I figured, why not put it to use?

So here's the deal. Periodically, I'll throw an mp3 or two up here, sometimes seriously, most of the time, not. Maybe it'll be a song I've been listening to a lot lately. Maybe it'll be something funny I find during my seemingly endless hours of scouring the internet. Who knows?

We'll see if anybody downloads and enjoys any of this stuff. But to be honest, I'll probably keep doing it anyway. Because it amuses me.

So here's a trial run:

The Pogues were/are a rock band from London who "essentially invented" Celtic Punk, or a fusion of traditional Irish music and the punk music that had emerged in London at the time of the band's formation.

They rose to critical and commercial success in the UK, including a pair of top five albums in the late '80s. They had a considerably volatile existence, as a listen to one of their albums would suggest.

Because we're at about the halfway mark to St. Patrick's Day, I thought it would be fitting to feature the Pogues in my first Sendspace posting.

"Sally MacLennane" is one of the more traditional Irish-sounding original songs you'll find on the band's second album, as the background vocals are probably the only thing that distinguishes it from what you're used to hearing.

The Pogues - "Sally MacLennane"

Click the link and click the download link with the arrow pointing to it. If there are any technical difficulties, I'll be happy to help.

If there are requests for more Pogues stuff, I'll be happy to help with that as well.

And don't worry, if the RIAA comes after anybody it''ll be me, not you.
