Shane MacGowan is an absolute legend. He wrote the song, for heaven's sake!! It's like saying Leonard Cohen murders Hallelujah.*

*Actually you may have a point.

I heard that the other day in the sauna and it occurred to me that contrary to the popular view Shane McGowan actually murders that song.

Is that actually a phrase or have you just made it up to make me feel inadequate?

Be Bop Deluxe were an English progressive rock band who achieved critical acclaim and moderate commercial success during the mid to late 1970s.

Apparently.

Glam Prog Rock is a genre? Not that I'm a ruthless pigeon-holer, but that doesn't fit my ruthless pigeon-holing.

Rage Against The Machine - Killing in the name

Phrazes For The Young - Julian Casablancas |

I like that Christmas song by Julian Casablancas.
