  1. When I heard that Bruce Springsteen et al did “Rainy Night in SoHo” in Ireland, I was excited. It’s too low for him, but I appreciate the respect. They can’t do it better though.

  2. Shane MacGowan was included in The Ireland Anthology, a 455-page compendium of Irish literature published in 1997. It printed his lyrics for The Body of an American by The Pogues.

  3. One night Billy had a rare old time
    Laughing and singing on the Lebanon line
    Came back to camp not looking too pretty
    Never even got to see the Holy City

  4. I was so desperate for more Pogues music that I didn't just buy doubles, I bought TRIPLES of some of their records... Probably would have done to have actually gotten a copy of every record and not missed a few instead, but oh well.

    Tonight's listening party of 1!

  5. She didn't do this on the album, but Sinéad's version of this at Shane's 60th is just stunning.

  6. Envie d’une cuite à la mauvaise pils tiède, voire au pastis au mètre, et puis sortir gueuler “… BY THE OL’ / CANAL” derrière la place Saint-Pierre, vers l’Arsenal, par une nuit d’été étouffante. #DirtyOldTown #Tolosa #RIPShane

  7. And the only thing that I could see
    Was a pair of brown eyes that was looking at me

  8. We've a thirst like a gang of devils, we're the boys from the county hell...

  9. When you pissed yourself in Frankfurt and got syph down in Cologne

    And you heard the rattling death trains as you lay there all alone

    Frank Ryan bought you whiskey in a brothel in Madrid

    And you decked some fucking black shirt who was cursing all the Yids

    At the sick bed of Cúchulainn we'll kneel and say a prayer

    But the ghosts are rattling at the door and the devil's in the chair

  10. Have this hanging proudly in the office.

    The Pogues made me appreciate Irish music so much more than the trad diehards whose elitism I couldn't stomach.

    Their music will be alive for centuries to come.

    Bah.
