Re: The Pogues Thread
That's quite good. Be sure to work an some anecdotes like the to me you sang with the Popes (that was you or did I make that up somehow).Silent Majority wrote: ↑10 Aug 2017, 4:10pmhttp://macgowansongs.blogspot.co.uk/201 ... y.html?m=1Heston wrote: ↑10 Aug 2017, 3:23pmNo, but please do.Silent Majority wrote: ↑10 Aug 2017, 3:18pmDid I ever share the inaugural and so far only chapter of my book about MacGowan's songs?

Re: The Pogues Thread
It was a cobbled together backing band that Shane was going to have for a benefit gig he failed to turn up to. I plan to put the anecdote in the entry for Church of the Holy Spook which I sang the hell out of.revbob wrote: ↑10 Aug 2017, 5:32pmThat's quite good.

I love the track "Haunted" from the Sid & Nancy soundtrack.

Re: The Pogues Thread
Beautiful song. I prefer the later version with Sinead O'Connor but not much wrong with the original either.

One of the better songs on Hell's Ditch and I do really like it but Shane was starting to sound a bit ragged by then.Silent Majority wrote: ↑20 Sep 2017, 2:57pmLorca's Novena is out of this world, a massive masterpiece.

Re: The Pogues Thread
I agree. The version with Sinead just edges it for me, but I was more than happy enough with the original. There's about a cd's worth of Pogues material from soundtracks that makes for an offbeat but interesting compilation. Most of it is already on the Just Look Them Straight In The Eye And Say... Pogue Mahone! box, but worth listening to together.Low Down Low wrote: ↑01 Sep 2017, 8:41amBeautiful song. I prefer the later version with Sinead O'Connor but not much wrong with the original either.

Re: The Pogues Thread
This is one of the best songs from the "Spider on vocals" era but somehow only made it to b-side status...
