Carson?
Carson? is an EP-length vinyl record by the Gaelic punk group Oi Polloi.[1] This release is significant as it is the first album of all-original rock songs in Scottish Gaelic, beating the EP CD, Ceàrr, by Mill a h-Uile Rud, to release by one month. Runrig's first album, Play Gaelic, was also all in Gaelic, but several of the tunes were rock re-workings of traditional songs. "Carson?" is Scottish Gaelic for "Why?", and the title track features an extended excerpt from a BBC radio interview with the Gaelic poet, Sorley MacLean, where the poet discussed the suppression of the Gaelic language.

gollark: What do you mean he has "no cows"?
gollark: Well, obviously he... needs help handling purple cows, this isn't very hard.
gollark: What are you even talking about ˙?!
gollark: So your timeframes are wrong, or it's not a (public-interweb) domain.
