Shane's 20-minute acid house track...

**Mon Jan 10, 2005 11:08 pm**

Was it ever actually recorded? I hated acid house but I'd be interested in hearing it as a historical curiosity...

Has anyone ever heard Shane's dance track"You've Got To Get Connected"?
Just wondered what it was like.

It's actually called "Contact Yourself" and it no longer exists, so I guess we'll never know. :wink:

It 'no longer' exist??? Did you ritually burn the master cd or something?

Well, in truth, it was only ever really a backing-track loop and a lot of oul talk. Which saved us the trouble. As Shane will never tire of telling you, The Pogues were all up their own arse at this point and he was the only one who still wanted to play "Irish music". Such as this piece. Which was long. 30 minutes long. Practically an album. With no discernible Irish music in it. Except for the composer's nationality. But not up its own arse. Not at all. :wink:

You should never go up your 'own' arse. On occasions it can be deemed acceptable to go up someone elses.

Thanks Mr C. If an extensive search of RAK studios were conducted could it not make an interesting addition to the Treasure Chest? Failing that I'd start by asking the customs officer mentioned in Boat Train.

You'll have to trust me on this. To misconstrue Joe Conrad, if "Contact Yourself" ever emerges from the darkness, the centre cannot hold, things fall apart, the Pogues story must be rewritten. Let's just call it our Smile moment and wait for Shane's re-recording in about 20 years.

I remember how shocked I was the first time Shane mentioned this track in an interview. I hated all that acieeeeeeeed shite that was around at the time.

I think lsd and extasy probably played a big part in people enjoying acid house. If you need to be high on drugs to enjoy something it must be and is shite.

**Thu Sep 21, 2006 10:57 am**

Ive never taken acid but ive seen people on it and they can find enjoyment from the most boring music ive ever heard. You could sit in a room with peope on acid and bang a spoon on a pan and they would dig it.

So that's where all shite in CDs collection comes from... The mystery is solved
