What I can't understand is why Germany, UK and France bother to contribute songs and MONEY to this song contest when they end up in the bottom 5.Does the money come out of the peoples taxes? Maybe we should all get in our boats and tow the island away from Europe, somewhere warmer, personally I would steer the island to the Caribbean seas. I dont feel I belong to this Europe any more. The Euro...

Here's some Irish for you all to begin the festivities. Now if you'll excuse me, I need to see a doctor about my urine being green.

Cant decide on how to celebrate the day of the Irish. While listening to Irish music might be an easy bet, here are a few things to do that might give you a temporary I'm Irish Card for the day.1) Watch (or March in ) the Parade - Hey House of Pain did it in their video, make the effort to go support your Irish brothers and sisters.2) Have a Green Beer and BreakfastWarning here, green beer goe...

I missed the return last year, here's hoping that won't be so this March.Also, for those who pay any mind, be warned, this will probably be only the first in a long line of ramblings about the Pogues before we reach a St. Patty's Day crescendo._______________________________________________Shows in March, 2007 The Pogues will be performing shows in March, 2007 in Chicago, New York, Philidelphia...

So, I don't have a job. Whereas normally that idea would suck, I am at this very moment fucking elated. It's an odd sensation. I fucking hated that place. I have to find a new job. I should've thought of this beforehand. And god, I'll have to work for a small company so that there's no drug test so that I am not automatically taken for a goddamn pothead. And I have to buy clothes. And s...

21 years after it's release, I finally treated myself to a copy of Rum, Sodomy & The Lash, by the Pogues. I have never given them the time of day. But, something has drawn me to them. I can't quite say what it is. But, here it is. Finally, in my hands. And, it's glorious. What a treat.Happy Christmas to me.

For all those of generations past, past, present and future who sacrifice their lives so selflessly so that we may enjoy the simplest pleasures and freedoms. They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old: Age shall not weary them, nor the years contemn. At the going down of the sun and in the morning We will remember them.

Sometimes, but not too often, I dislike being left alone with my thoughts. They can be an evil bunch, ganging up on me, overwhelming me, leaving me see to seek the sanctuary of music.>>>The music must be complementary to the mood one seeks.>>>There are folks who will drink themselves blind in the coming twenty-four hours. They are myriad, from every walk of life and every social strata.>>>On M...

While rummaging in the vault this Box Set caught my eye - and the Pogues in particular. I was always a sucker for Shane MacGowan's smile. :-)The Stiff Records Box SetUnderstand from the get-go that label retrospectives are spotty affairs. Rare is the label that's free of stiffs, and Stiff Records' raison d'état was to serve as a refuge for castoffs, including a fair share of flaccid acts. The..

At the risk of sounding conceited I would like to think that I am the originator of the 'Nothing' post. When I first started doing it to get out all of the drafts I had or when I can't seem to put together 2 complete thoughts, the 'Nothing' post became very liberating. It freed drafts that I had but burned out on.Saved material that I thought wasn't good enough to finish or something I felt I c...
