    Remembering Shane MacGowan

    .There’s an old Irish benediction that goes, “May you be in Heaven an hour before the Devil knows you’re dead.” By our best guess, Shane MacGowan arrived three hours late, drank the Devil under the table, and jimmied the lock on the Pearly Gates.Come raise a glass, or six, or seven with us, as we celebrate our dear, departed Shane: the Last of the Great Irish Poets.We’re a bit tardy with this, due to serial editing disasters. But it’s never too late to get your Shane MacGowan on....

    It's been a while, listeners, but we've mustered a quorum. Bob's back with us today (alas, Mark is not), as we talk about some recent shows we've seen and generally ham it up.First Bob waxes rhapsodic about Nashville band Bully. Then Brad swaps out a vowel and steers the conversation toward Belly. And we wrap it all up with Carla's trip to Vegas to see U2 in The Sphere.Credits: Intro/ Outro — the Februarys, "Does Your Father Know"/ "... In a Letter."

    Remembering Sinéad

    Last month we lost Sinéad O'Connor. This one really hurts. 35 years ago, Sinéad's first LP was melting the cassette decks in our cars. Through the years, we moved with her music, and it never got old. Songs of heartbreak, defiance, freedom, vindication: Sinéad sang her life and her truth. If her music doesn't move you ... well, unsubscribe. Sister, we are stretched on your grave. Nothing compares 2 u.Find the Playlist on Spotify + Apple Music and your Ext...
