Which band or artist which is no longer performing or alive would you have loved to have seen? Submitted by Rev Stan. Bob Marley and I didn't even need to think about it. I LOVE him! I have loved him since I was a wee one and sat avidly of a Thursday to watch Top of The Pops when I was tiny. I...

Yet another recent CD. Well, it's old (from 1998) but my wife just bought it for me. Dillinger Four specialize in very smart, very aggressive Pop punk. Yeah, I know, but you're wrong. This sounds nothing like Bad Religion, Blink 182 or NOFX. It sounds more like The Pogues, Billy Bragg, Swinging...

Morning All. Current Tune = Bastille Day by Rush The thing that amazes me the most about things like Big Brother is the immediate way people judge you. Last night I watched a few minutes of the new people arriving, and the arbitrary way that the crows chose their favourites. One person at the back...
Here's what I've been listening to lately: Kraftwerk - The Man-Machine Burning Spear - Hail H.I.M. Om - Pilgrimage The Velvet Underground - Loaded Bum Kon - Drunken Sex Sucks (writeup coming soon over on W♥M! I really need to start cranking those out faster, and probably will now that Firefox 3...
Last Year we reviewed, in MercuryMoon both Two Gallants albums (the acoustic EP/Scenery of Farewell and the electric self-tiled full album). They were one of the highlights of the music we covered in 2007. The review included the comments: "...has a robustly live feel capturing the raw and defiant...
Current Tune (Whisky in the Jar..By The King) Am off to Lichfield again. 5.20 am and am on the train. The cat, as usual, is throwing a sulk because he is being left alone. However, I am going to have to travel back tonight as I forgot to bring something with me, which is annoying. Current Tune...
Saw a sold-out Rhett Miller solo show Friday night at the Black Cat. 1. By far, this was the tallest audience I’ve ever seen at a show, barring the Pogues, which just attracts scary troglodytes. Was it the Texas thing? You know, because everything is supposed to be bigger or whatnot? 2. Rhett...
As has been mentioned in other blogs. January is basically shit. So in attempt to bring a bit of cheer to you all, may I present the popular beat combo from Finland: 'Finntroll' and their tune 'Trollhammaren'. It's kind of like a cross between 'Jethro Tull' *, 'The Levellers' or 'The Pogues' ** and...
Audio: Share a song with powerful lyrics. The Pogues - Streets of Sorrow/Birmingham Six Oh farewell you streets of sorrow And farewell you streets of pain I'll not return to feel more sorrow Nor to see more young men slain Through the last six years I've lived through terror And in the darkened...
My name is Martin. I am a songwriter and musician, working out of the town of Vaasa in Finland. I write songs and record them. I play all the instruments and sing all the vocals myself. My music is very different from the stuff you'll find in the mainstream. The stuff I do is acoustic and folky,...
my mother loves her some Neil Diamond - there are certain memories that I will always associate with her listening to his music, but mother's day is not the time to get into that - alas, I have no actual ND recordings in my limited computer tunes, but I do have this lovely rendition of Cracklin'...
What's your favorite song with "America" or "USA" in the title? Bonus points if you share it with us. Okay, this isn't even by an American band, but I figure pretty much everyone is going to use the same crappy songs as everyone else, so I don't really care. I'm not even a big fan of Bruce...
One of the joys of the internet, I feel, is that when searching for one thing you can find something more interesting than what you were originally looking for. Last night's search for The Dubliners video led me to The Pogues and from there to Kirsty then Ewan Maccoll. Ewan Maccoll and Peggy Seeger...

P.S. I LOVE YOU director RICHARD LaGRAVENESE had to rethink the movie's soundtrack - because he couldn't afford the rights to the famous BEATLES song of the same name. LaGravenese hoped to use the John Lennon and Sir Paul MCCartney song bearing the film's title, but was forced to use the Pogues...
Current Tune (And the Band played Waltzing Matilda by The Pogues) Back on the 5.20 am train to Lichfield. Had to go home last night as I had forgotten anything that would allow me to pay for my hotel room or get cash…Doh. Also, I had forgotten to put enough food down for Nobs, well, he had food,...
