147 - The Pogues: If I Should Fall From Grace With God

Originally recorded December 23, 2023.





It's a Christmas season miracle. We are all caught up with
editing episodes! And just before the end of the year! And so to
celebrate, here is our Christmas episode! It's not an album
centered around the holiday, but it does have one of the greatest
modern Christmas songs ever. And it also has the dearly missed
Shane MacGowan (1957-2023), whom this episode is dedicated to. So
let's talk about The Pogues' "If I Should Fall From Grace With
God"!





Sidenote I accidentally referred to "Thousands are Sailing" as a
song by Shane, when it's actually a song by the guitarist Phillip
Chevron, I am very sorry to both of them for this mistake.
