Wow, I never thought i'd hear a pogues song that is unlistenable... but 'Something Wild" is the closest I've heard... easily the worst pogues song I've ever heard! Well I did not think it was not that bad. It’s obviously a predecessor to "London Girl"...I think that a box set should ...

This is how they are remembered in Carol Clerk’s Kiss My Arse – The Story Of The Pogues : The Pogues were supported by Sons Of The Desert who played "rollicking good-time ballroom mini-blitzes" and were briefly co-managed by Frank Murray and Joey Cashman. "I left them in the office o...

ANY ONE EVER SEEN SONS OF THE DESERT, WHO SUPPORTEDTHE POGUES A FEW TIMES? :o Wow I fell into this and I am wondering if it is the same Sons of the Desert that used to play here in Montreal in the 80's... If memory serves me correct they were fronted by a funky curly haired female singer named Niom...

They seemed to have refreshed the songs on the my space page...."Do you beleive in Magic",made me smile

Actually one thing all this has shown is how easy it is to lose focus...the concert review was positive

I read that Kumbaya is going to be in the box set ... ...

Well, I hope it was not directed at me(since me and meow were the only people who posted replys up to that point). I drove over 500 miles to watch the show in boston and if anyone would have been late I would have just spent more money at the bar... See I had read somewhere that he was sick. I thoug...

I have viewed topic and I must say the explanation is very complete. Do you guys memorise every post? That was really awesome, thank you.

See I had read somewhere that he was sick. I thought it was in The Chicago Suntimes...I can no longer find the article online. I Guess big Brother is at work.

I could not help but notice that on track 3 there is a song listed as "A Needle for Paddy Garcia", is that a typo? is it not a Pistol for Paddy Garcia? Is it a different song?...was the title changed. I feel stupid asking, I guess these questions would be ansured within the liner notes...j...

I love how the Pogues take a syrupy Rod Stewart pop song (one I really don't like very much) and turn it into a gritty, emotionally raw assault. They make it entirely their own and it's probably one of the best cover versions of a song I've ever heard. I have never heared that one, Who sings on it?

Sorry guys, I'm going to have to disappoint you. Once the laborious licensing and legal side of the box set was concluded yesterday, the two Pogues/Chieftains tracks are the only two which have failed to cross all legal hurdles. It's too complicated to explain here and anyway, it's been giving me a...

That is an awesome picture...check out the skid marks...WOW

Billy is coming to Montreal in June to play an intimate show at Club Soda. Last time I saw him was with a full band (and Wiggy) at a much larger venue (1991). The cool thing is I actually won 2 spots on the guest list from a sports radio show...So I went to the Pogues in March, will see Billy Bragg ...

great shot of James floating, Thankyewverymuch. looks like it was taken by the other photographer...Big headed camera guy :) We tried to get a shot of him but he moves way to much...to dark...need to get me one of those big ass cameras. Bah. I think you'd be better off (or more rewarded) for trying...
