Money, Guns, and Coffee...

"Straight to Hell." I have the CD and the video and I saw the thing during its original theatrical release. Sure, it's not the great, lost cult film of the 80s, but we were singing "There ain't nothin' meaner than a weiner from Pasadener" at my house for quite a while.

Anyone else have a kind word for this lesser known album in the Pogues canon?

And for that matter, the Pogues' tracks on the "Sid and Nancy" soundtrack aren't too bad either.

I love "Straight to Hell." I've got the DVD & VHS, the soundtrack (yes, on CD and vinyl).

The movie is filled with so much goodness. The backstory about how all these musicians ended making a movie is great. The fact that there's no swearing ("Just what in the heck is going on here?"). The idea of a whole gang living life as a cliche ("Boys - get the long coats.") Great lines like "Looks like a coffee adict to me."

What's not to love in this movie?

And the Sid & Nancy soundtrack has some great tunes in it. I love Hot Dogs With Everything. Wonderfull classic punk there. And I find myself very fond of Jem's incidental music ("Junk Theme," etc).

I have just posted a list on my website with the songs that were used in the film but not released on the soundtrack. There is 12 additional pogues song there. Phillip Chevron mentioned that some of these will be released on the new soundtrack. Looking forward to that.
