“Duffy’s Cut” refers to the storied mass grave site of 57 Irish workers who died near the present-day site of Immaculata College in the mid-1800s. Irish folksinger Christy Moore performs this track, about the affair, on his most recent album, Listen. Christy also does a version of the Pogues’ “Fairytale of New York” that gets us right where we live, every damned time. God, it’s getting all kinds of Lucky Charms up in here today, isn’t it? Guinness for lunch.
