Re: One of those 'Wat'cha Listenin' To?' threads.
haven't read this thread, sorry, but shaguar told me i will love the POGUES "fairy tale of new york" so i am ordering it, this backwater i live in has nothing that good. the lyrics he sent me are exactly right. passionate, sexy, christmasy, causes full-scale havoc in Brit pubs, and cynical as hell. my kind of song. but i also LOVE italian opera, blues, gilbert and sullivan, rock and roll, and 40's big band. excuse me if i digress from thread subject.

Re: One of those 'Wat'cha Listenin' To?' threads.
ooh, The Pogues. Are you ordering the album, 'If I Should Fall From Grace With God,' or is this another release? That album is great. My favorite songs on it are the title track, Turkish Song of the Damned, Thousands are Sailing and Worms.
and here's the singer's picture for you ladies.

From this site:
Quote:
It was christmas eve babe
In the drunk tank
An old man said to me, won’t see another one
And then he sang a song
The rare old mountain dew
I turned my face away
And dreamed about you
Got on a lucky one
Came in eighteen to one
I’ve got a feeling
This year’s for me and you
So happy christmas
I love you baby
I can see a better time
When all our dreams come true
They’ve got cars big as bars
They’ve got rivers of gold
But the wind goes right through you
It’s no place for the old
When you first took my hand
On a cold christmas eve
You promised me
Broadway was waiting for me
You were handsome
You were pretty
Queen of new york city
When the band finished playing
They howled out for more
Sinatra was swinging,
All the drunks they were singing
We kissed on a corner
Then danced through the night
The boys of the nypd choir
Were singing galway bay
And the bells were ringing out
For christmas day
You’re a bum
You’re a punk
You’re an old slut on junk
Lying there almost dead on a drip in that bed
You scumbag, you maggot
You cheap lousy faggot
Happy christmas your arse
I pray God it’s our last
I could have been someone
Well so could anyone
You took my dreams from me
When I first found you
I kept them with me babe
I put them with my own
Can’t make it all alone
I’ve built my dreams around you

Re: One of those 'Wat'cha Listenin' To?' threads.
The female vocals on Fairytale... are by Kirsty MacColl and work perfectly for the song.
Rum, Sodomy and the Lash refers to the early days of the British Navy. They were, as I recall, supposed to be the three things that kept its ships running smoothly.
The compilation you ordered looks pretty good to me, despite not having some of my favs. I hope you enjoy it. The Pogues were a weird cross between traditional Irish and punk and not at all a typical band.

Re: One of those 'Wat'cha Listenin' To?' threads.
I love the Pogues (short for "Pogue Mahone", which is Gaelic for "Kiss my Arse"), and Fairytale of New York is a great song. 
Right now, I'm listening to John Coltrane's Blue Train; a brilliant album from a true musical genius.

Re: One of those 'Wat'cha Listenin' To?' threads.
I'm in a classical mood. Right now, it's Beethoven's Piano Sonata #23 in F minor - 'Apassionata'.
Soon I'll probably switch to the Baroques - Bach or Handel or something.

Re: One of those 'Wat'cha Listenin' To?' threads.
Holey moley. It must be 20 years since I last heard any Sonny Terry and Brownie McGee.
I got Lenny Kravitz' Fly Away going on here. Next up is Leon Redbone's A Hot Time In The Old Town Tonight.
Man, FF is going super slow at the moment!
But anyway, love those latins - now we got Los Lobos and Antonio Banderas (swoon) with Cancion Del Mariachi. Ole!
.....hours later....
Victor Wooten. Plays bass like Stanley Jordan plays guitar. Plucks and taps the strings on the neck. Sounds like more than one player/one instrument. The dexterity of genius never fails to humble and enchant.
That said, in rocks Low Rider. Remember Cheech & Chong?
Edit: Hash Pipe, Weezer. Ok, so where's the party?

Re: One of those 'Wat'cha Listenin' To?' threads.
Poets of the Fall - Maybe Tomorrow is a Better Day. I really love these fellas, even though I've only head about 4 or 5 of their songs. They're a kind of poprock band from Finland that I was put onto by the bloke who built my computer, and I think they're best known for the song Late Goodbye that was on the Max Payne soundtrack. You can get Maybe... from here, if anyone's interested.
And now the track's changed to Beth Orton's Stolen Car, which everyone knows the beauty of ^^. I adore her music so much...

Brimshack, you are such a non-conformist! ....ok don't make fun of me, but i am playing jimmy buffett's "southern cross". it means something to me. "got out of town on a boat for the southern islands, sailing a reach before a following sea, she was making for the trades on the outside...."
