    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.
