Anyone listen to Joe Rogan podcast ? He has some awesome guests.
Praying my boys are staying strong
I've been listening to ASIWYFA, thanks for the recommendation.Cool, try these:
And So I Watch You From Afar: ASIWYFA
Explosions in the Sky: Take Care, Take Care, Take Care
This Will Destroy You: S/T
The first one is quite heavy/shreddy guitar stuff, the latter two are quite mellow and closer to Mogwai. Enjoy, and let me know what you think

Not my usual sound but I really really like it. Messing around with time signatures and dynamics, all good fun.
Great song! Never got so see them live, a bit before my time, some of the stories my dad and uncles tell of their gigs in the 80s sound mental though, real punks.Pogues are a great band, Sally MacLennane is my favourite.
I went to see them live years ago, Shane was an absolute state but it was a great show
There was a special show with Shane MacGowan and a few other pogues on Irish telly last night. What a band, Shane is one of the best lyricists of all time.
Not my favourite, that'd be a pair of brown eyes, but here's his best:
Seen them twice, Shane is always an absolute state. First time 10 years ago it didn't matter because he smashed it. Second time about 5 years ago he was an embarrassment to be honest, Forgetting words, incoherent even by his own standards, miles away from anything resembling a melody, out of time, out of key, just awful. Accepting he's never going to give up the booze, I felt at the time it's probably about time he gave up performing though.Pogues are a great band, Sally MacLennane is my favourite.

Shane's first brush with fame was when he featured in the front page of a tabloid after getting his ear slashed with a razor at a gig (possibly The Clash from memory?)Great song!

Might have been the same gig as me, Brixton Academy?Aye it was very much a cash grab when I saw them, think it was about 2007, (December tour culminating in Fairytale with fake snow coming down from the ceiling) - but fun non-the-less
My Dad's a huge fan, he grew up in Northampton, the way he describes it is that at a time where there was a lot of hatred towards the Irish and a bit of shame their message was **** that, we're Irish, what are you going to do about it?! And a lot of English loved the music which only made things better.Interesting that you're a fan Alpha - I find them quite divisive among Irish people because let's be honest The Pogues are really not very Irish! Ive met Irish people who feel about them the same way Jamaicans feel about UB40, which is legit.
Nah, Birmingham NEC or NIA (can't remember which but remember thinking it was a surprisingly big gig - and me and my mates were the youngest there by about 3 decades).Might have been the same gig as me, Brixton Academy?
