As for the new album, I've burnt through all my hopes on that over the years, as they get smashed against the rocks. I'll get excited about it when I actually order it. I Think it'll be 22nd Century Paddy at this rate :roll: I love the bit in the interview when he says Hank Williams wasn't talking ...

Nice one, cheers. Been a long time since I've heard a new Shane interview.

One of the good things about this cover is the vocalist takes inspiration from the strength in Shane's voice, instead of falling into the trap of caricaturing the frailties.

Well, that's no fun. Try and beat that, is what I'd say is the best thing to do.

Well, Shane felt far too unwell to bother attending and the workaday musicians in his stead tried their best. If any one has photos or video of the Church of the Holy Spook from that night, I'd appreciate it.

According to The Mail On Sunday (Irish edition) he's going into the studio with The Cronins to record an album. Mick Jones to produce and Johnny Depp to guest. He told the Reporter he's quitting The Pogues, joining a gym and drinking tea in the studio. He says his writers block has gone and he's fu...

Weren't the Cronins the guys he did that Rocky Road to Poland song with?

Thanks for the heads up. Should he make it, I'd much rather see Shane in this way than another Pogues set.

I'll swim and sail on savage seas With ne'er a fear of drowning And gladly ride the waves of life If you will marry me No scorching sun Nor freezing cold Will stop me on my jour-ney If you will promise me your heart And love me for eternity My dearest one my darling dear Your mighty words astound me...
