The Pogues - White City This lament about the disappearance of dog tracks from the scene first appeared to me late at night on MTV's 120 Minutes. It's nice to be able to watch this again. In case you find Shane MacGowan's singing fairly indecipherable, here are the lyrics, cribbed from one of the many lyrics sites on the interweb: Here a tower shining bright Once stood gleaming in the night Where now...
The Pogues - “The Old Main Drag” The Decemberists - “On the Bus Mall” — n Who are you meeting in the back of a darkened movie theater? Shane MacGowan (The Pogues) Colin Meloy (The Decemberists) View Results — Thanks to everyone who voted during Halloween week!
Poor Kirsty McColl. In life she was always overshadowed by her father, folk singer and songwriter Ewan. In death, she is remembered more than anything else for her duet with Shane McGowan on Fairytale of New York. Even in this post, she suffers the indignity of having to share space with another. Never mind, she [...]
Here is a song appropriate for today as we remember those who have lost life or limb for our freedom. It is a sad and raw song. Lest we forget. When I was a young man I carried my pack And I lived the free life of a rover From the Murrays green basin to the dusty outback I waltzed my Matilda all over Then in nineteen fifteen my country said Son It's time to stop rambling 'cause there's work to be done...
Fairytale of New York Christmas is one of my favourite Christmas songs, so on facebook I have joined the group which hopes to Make The Pogues & Kirsty MacColl- Fairytale of New York Christmas Number 1.

This is my favourite kind of weather; hats and tights and my new pink fingerless mittens in an age 6-10 from Accessorise. I crunch-crunch-crunch through the fallen leaves that can’t rot for freezing on the path, and smile as my breath leaves vapour trails in the evening air. I’m feeling positive tonight, despite the sleepless-inspired [...]
James William Ray Genre: Rock / Indie / Pop From: New York, United States Brooklyn based singer songwriter James William Roy AKA The James Rocket has written a bouncy Pro-Obama agitprop song about voting liberally, drinking liberally, and celebratory hangover food that sounds like The Pogues after overdosing on happy pills. It's unlikely to be decisive in the outcome of the election and there are probably...
I'm thrilled that Jeffery T. Roesgen's book about the Pogues is now available from your local 33 1/3 vendor, as well as all the usual online places. We've had, up to now, quite a few "making of" books in the series, and a handful of fictional treatments. This is the first book to combine the two approaches - interspersing track-by-track analysis of the album (and interviews with most of the band) with...
There's much to be said for a beautiful voice interpreting an excellent song, and Chan Marshall, a.k.a. Cat Power, has shown a great appreciation for this fact on her two ...
