The Medusa Fora

I know (unfortunatly) it is very very unlikely but in your opinion, if the Pogues would make a new album today, in your opinion, how would it sound ? How would you like to sound of ? Would it be like the good ol' days or sound completly different ?

Just by curiosity, i still wonder...

Metallica meets Bieber.

I think that it may sound a little like Pogues of old but with a live in Paris kind of vibe, and be out in time for Christmas.

So that is how it would sound, or is that how you would like it to sound?

That would be a terrific sequel to the excellent Some Kind of Monster movie.

Funny but still wonder if it would sound like the Pogues of the last (more electric like in first Shane's album or a bit pop-rock like in Waiting For Herb), Original Pogues of the last (Hell's Ditch, Peace And Love, though Hell's Ditch is very much different than Peace And Love) or Pogues of the Old...
But i have the feeling i'm going to question myself for the rest of my days.

I'd like them to release a tasteful album of obscure traditional tunes. No songwriting needed, just arrangements.

SLast two interviews I seen macgowan spoke about gretiring as soon as he can. Not the talk of a man who has a big back catalogue of stuff he's dying to release.

tasteful?

I don't know...I've heard many times that Shane has written a lot over the years, but probably he doesn't feel very confident about it? But you've got to remember that most of his songs were written between the early and the late 80's...and he certainly was on a creative peak during those years, so probably that did get lost later on...

I always hoped a new Pogues record would be similar to Shane's reading of An Irish Airman foresees his Death mixed with some of Tom Waits' spoken pieces. Sortta a Frank's Irish Years if that makes sense.
