The Pogues Thread

The Snake feels like a posthumous album, finished Streetcore style. Crock of Gold feels like the third slapdash follow up, the kind of thing Biggie Smalls and Tupac have released under their names years after having passed.

The Snake is enjoyable. Crock of Gold is just a crock.

Can you see what I mean about the posthumous feel?

I can indeed but it feels like care and attention was implemented.

I made a trip to Montreal to get a copy of the Snake when it came out. The US release was about a year later and I couldn't wait that long.

I started watching the new Shane documentary. I didnt finish, I will but I want prepared for just how far he's gone. He looks/seems 20 years older than he is.

Yeah, utterly wrecked. He's barely survived.

Yeah, utterly wrecked. He's barely survived.

At the same time I get the sense that the words/wit are rattling around in his head but there's no pathway for them to come out in spoken now written form.

He did well to live past 40.

Yeah, I think the brain works about as well, just literally everything else is exhausted.

Was listening to a couple of Shane interviews from the mid 80s a while back and two things that struck me was how intelligent and articulate he came across and the other how much he actually sounded like Joe at times.

The interview with him, Nick Cave and Mark E Smith probably shows him at his best, effortlessly demolishing the fascist bullshit Smith was in the mood to indulge that day.

Just had a read of that interview, hadn't seen it before. Christ, smith definitely picked the wrong target on which to unleash that stream of watered down piss. Only one of them managed to convince me he'd actually read Nietzsche and it definitely wasn't MES! The bit about "lurries" did make me laugh, though.
