HERE'S ST. PATRICK'S DAY: 
...with JOE STRUMMER and THE POGUES! People will be getting their drink and dance on, so enjoy Joe, Shane and the band putting a Celtic spin on "London Calling" and "I Fought The Law" for St. Patrick's Day, 1988. Follow that up with the Dropkick Murphys' videos for "I'm Shipping Up to Boston" (which you may have heard in Martin Scorsese's The Departed) and "The Wild Rover." Round it out with an Old Grey Whistle Test of my fave Pogues song, "Sally MacLennane," and a Shamrock Shake.

NORTH CAROLINA's experimental folk scene creates a new American sound. JENS LEKMAN's Night Falls Over Kortedala is going way out of print. THE NUMBER ONES looks at TLC's silky, funky cheaters' anthem "Creep." PETE DAVIDSON has ‘a few tattoos' dedicated to Kim Kardashian. KANYE WEST is being put in Instagram timeout after going after Kim, Pete, Pete's writing partner and a racist attack on Trevor Noah. BRITNEY SPEARS put herself on Instagram timeout. BARRY: Season 3 has a teaser trailer online. THE PENTAVERATE: Mike Myers, times eight. JARED LETO talks about morphing into Morbius. DEEP WATER: Critics think it's a weird, wild mess. NETFLIX is no longer chill with users who enjoy sharing their account credentials. AN ELEPHANT pretends to eat a woman's hat, then returns it.
