        Okay this is awesome.

        I’m going to mix this into our family background music during the holidays.

          Do people not know about Fairytale of New York? I’ve always thought of it as being as standard as Do They Know It’s Christmas or All I Want For Christmas Is You!

            I can only speak to my experience on the west coast of the US, but it seems the Pogues in general aren’t well known, let alone this gem.

                I don’t know how I first heard them, but the Pogues have been a favorite of mine for a while. ‘The repeal of the licensing laws’ is the only piece of music I can play. On the tin whistle at that.

                Shane with teeth is an odd thing to behold.

                I was searching for a video clip of him walking into a mirror and not spilling a drop of gin- instead I see he just died yesterday. Damn. I though the posted meme was just thanking him for the best Christmas song. :,(

            Over here in Norway it seems like Fairytale of New York is played on the radio almost every day of December and surprisingly often otherwise.

          Meanwhile I’ve recently discovered Zombie Claus by Psychostick, a Christmas carol about Santa to the tune of a Rob Zombie song, and I’m gonna mix that into our Christmas day music.

            Amazing, that’s going straight on my Christmas metal playlist!
