POGUEMAHONE!!!
IPOD SHUFFLE GAME Day 4
The Pogues "Streams of Whiskey" (Demo)
Those parenthesis matter because then you know it's from the fantastic box set, "Just Look Them Straight In the Eye and Say..POGUEMAHONE!!!"
Back in 2008, I saw a press release from Rhino that it was coming out. Sent a link to my pal Stephen Fearing, knowing he was headed to UK to tour, with the comment "If I was going to be in Ireland & I knew it was almost Tom's (it was) birthday, I'd be doing some shopping". haha. banter exchanged. life moves on.
cut to later in the summer & SF is gigging at the Livery in Benton Harbor. so I rent a car & head over (from Chicago).
Gorgeous evening. good beer. chatting after gig. I probably brought a treat of some description
& he's like 'oh wait I have something for you' & pulls that box set out of his bag.
Gobsmacked, me. Will always be one of my favorites things because it was so kind of him & it's UK release. Just a real treat.
I've loved The Pogues forever. have most of the classics on vinyl. Just one of my faves. & the real treat of this set is all the material with Kirsty MacColl. Not just "Fairytale" but tons of other great tunes.
I love it. I love having the cuts from soundtracks & the demos & the live bits.
So with all 5 discs loaded into itunes, odds were a Pogues tune would show.
So glad it's one of the few they did a video for. It's even Cait O'Riordan era!
Not so glad Shane chose to appear in just his pants (:42 mark)

#IPODSHUFFLEGAME Day 2
(I swear on my life I'm using shuffle. I had even closed itunes & reopened. It just has really good taste)
Back in 2006, when you could make friends with a friend of a friend via myspace (I know!) and have it not be creepy, I did just that.
Trevor Weeks Photography took fantastic shots of Blackie and the Rodeo Kings & friends when they performed "We Shall Be Released" at the Glen Gould.
This set of head shots caught my eye and later he shared some of the behind the scenes & performance photos.
We became pals sharing stories about the show & in turn he pointed out that I could listen to the CBC on my computer radio & should check out Craig Norris, Amanda Putz, Vish Khanna & assorted other people and bands.
For sure these boys were one of the first (along with Wooden Sky, USW of Montreal, YSPYSD!) I have some great memories since then - listening to "Mountain Meadows" out by Trev's pool, a cheeky early evening swim with the Laforet brothers in Couchiching & Mark wondering why we didn't wake him up to join us. And seeing them live tons of times since in multiple states & countries & trading beers & baked goods.
They're a don't miss live show. Fantastic energy. Funny. Smart. Kind.
Can't say enough about how happy I am I told Trev he took good pictures all those years ago.
"Without Again" is always a highlight. It's a tune of theirs that I find myself randomly humming on a regular basis. One of my fav sets of lyrics they've written.
"His love went south, and he'll go west
A mountain song couldn't fill that hole in his chest"

#IPODSHUFFLEGAME
Just an explanation of this thing that started on FB. I'll post them all week.
My pal Chris Webb is playing so giving it a shot. Like he said, not nominating. Just play if you want to. My disclaimer will be I save pop tunes to entertain the kids when I hang with them, just in case anything crazy pops up
In case you missed it ...
THE iPOD SHUFFLE GAME
None of that nomination nonsense; just play if you want to:
1. Set your mp3 player to Random Play All (or whatever it's called on your device)
2. For 7 days post the first song it plays to your timeline, preferably from YouTube etc so we can all have a listen and judge you accordingly (please name me in your post so I don't miss any)
3. Tell us something about the song: why it's on your player, why you like it, if you're embarrassed to have it, ... that kind of thing
4. BE HONEST. NO CHEATING. So don't do it from a playlist or skip tracks to try and look cool
Day 1
Christine M. Hinchman And my first is Whitehorse. "I'm On Fire" Couldn't be more thrilled to share a band I think are fantastic. and I adore Melissa & Luke quite a lot. Pretty sure I heard them play this live before it was recorded.
(Additionally, my pal Amelia here wants to know why Melissa doesn't have a pretty white guitar too?)

#RIPR2
Summer of '77, I spent a week at Pilgrim Haven - our church's camp over near South Haven, MI. My mom & brother came to pick me up on the Saturday & could not stop raving about this fantastic movie they'd seen. It was so good I had to see it. That day. We stopped at Meijer for a paper to check the show time & she bought us t-shirts to wear to the theatre. I hadn't a clue what they were talking about & chose a yellow one with this image because I thought the droids were fun or cute or some other pigtailed preteen nonsensical reason.
Well, of course, it was the original "Star Wars".
We changed in the car driving to the Bijou & waited in line. As the show before us let out, people leaving pointed & cheered at our shirts - a mixed bag of emotion when you're a 12 year old girl, but all good vibes coming towards us.
Over the next year we saw it in the theatre 6 times, including a double feature at a drive in (probably Homer) with "Clash of the Titans". Unprecedented for our family, that kind of viewing. And we were frequent movie goers.
There's tons of people who love Star Wars & lots of them know more than me & are big collectors & whatever. But that experience was so amazing & special. There's no explaining to people that feeling of how movies changed that summer. How the world was just a bit different. You can tell them but they can't feel that emotion.
It's fun to goof on it a bit now but I'll always have a soft spot for the droids because of that shirt and that day.
So thanks, Kenny Baker. You were in some great films (Mona Lisa. The Elephant Man. Time Bandits!!! ) and you made millions of people so very happy.
A real true genuine legend.
