Shane MacGowan (RIP)

Rock the Machine is a tremendous song as is her version of Lullaby of London. She is an acquired taste but a lot of the best things are

I gave her a listen this week. I thought it was extremely hard work in fairness.

She’s terrible. Herself and Lankum are the Emperors New Clothes of Irish music. Bawling and mewling and murdering songs I grew up loving.

I think this is a smashing tune by Lankum.

You are very much entitled to your opinion

I heard her once a few year ago and never again.

She sounded like a Banshee being rode by a Jack Russell.

Aren’t you a fan of The Gloaming? They wouldn’t be too much different to Lankum.

I’d be a big fan of the Gloaming and I would find them very different beasts to Lankum.

This TFK tribalism regarding O Neill has the potential to be the biggest Irish split since the provos and the stickies.

:cry:

It still hurts.

Jaysis he was in his pomp there
