Do you ever get into one of those youtube-fueled, productivity death spirals? You go to watch one, just one god damn video and then something in the related videos queue catches your eye and you watch that, and then another and another and suddenly it's Tuesday. I've been told it's kind of the same way with meth. Anyway, I was watching videos of the Pogues playing Fairytale of New York (like you do) and one thing led to another and I found a treasure hidden amongst the rubble that is youtube. That treasure was Orthodox Celts, one of the most popular Irish and Celtic music groups from.....wait for iiiiiiiit.... BELGRADE, SERBIA. How awesome is that? What makes it even more awesome is that they're actually pretty good. The music is straightforward and well played, and if they left it at that, they'd be kind of unremarkable, but the lead singer has his awesome little eastern European accent that just keeps reminding you of what's what. Please enjoy, also click through to youtube because there are more videos by the band, this one was just the best.
I'd post music here, but both my versions of Star of the County Down are a wee bit suspect. So I dunno, look it up on groove shark or something or even take a flier on a serbian celtic band:
