Re: Heston, Flex and Marky's Friday Top 5
A quiet little plug for my patreon, where I'm posting the first drafts for my book I'm working on this year about MacGowan's songs, and access to all my writing for an extraordinarily fair $1 a month:

I'll allow the Christy Moore version as it's awesome.

Re: Heston, Flex and Marky's Friday Top 5
I haven’t listened to the Popes in a very long time and dont have fond recollections of those albums. All my choices, the inestimable Gabrielle apart, are from the B sides and rarities collection which has some decent stuff among much clutter. It’s the covers that stand out though.
5. Cracklin Rosie
4. A Christmas Lullaby
3. What a wonderful world (with Nick Cave)
2. Gabrielle
1. God help me
Have a vague impression God help me is a Jesus and Mary Chain track. I should check that out but an so used to Shane doing it that I simply can’t imagine anyone else doing it. Seems made for him.

There's a tiny, tiny hopeful part of me that says you guys are running a Kaufmanesque long con on the board

Re: Heston, Flex and Marky's Friday Top 5
Sure is. Nothin at all wrong with original either but Shane gives it a bit more oomph I’d say. Just a better singer than Diamond I think and I think Diamond is a damn good one.Heston wrote: ↑12 Jan 2018, 8:19amI forgot about Cracklin Rosie, that is a great cover.Low Down Low wrote: ↑12 Jan 2018, 6:38amI haven’t listened to the Popes in a very long time and dont have fond recollections of those albums.

Re: Heston, Flex and Marky's Friday Top 5
Kinda did dig that jazz album back in the day though not sure how I’d feel about it now. Actually kind of feel I should like Joe Jackson more than I do.101Walterton wrote: ↑18 Jan 2018, 4:11pmIf anyone says Five Guys Named Mo they are dead to meMarky Dread wrote: ↑18 Jan 2018, 3:43pmJoe Jackson Top 5.

Hello,
Look Sharp is very high on my list. I think it 's the first vinyl album I had to replace due to wear and tear.
