    The Pogues - Rum, Sodomy & the Lash

    One of my regrets is never having seen The Pogues play live. There is enormous energy from their recorded work: live must have been something else.
    Oh, and this must be one of the best album titles of all time.

    I love Fairytale of New York, but always felt a bit uncomfortable with the homophobic slur. Very grateful to Grace Petrie for providing a version with an alternative line: youtu.be/cBwqjwB6Skk?si=rcPO0L

    (also the pandemic-era video is very nostalgic in all the right ways)
