The Pogues lanzaron entre 1984 y 1995 7 LPs de estudio de entre los cuales destacaron los tres primeros "Red Roses for Me", "Rum Sodomy & the Lash" y "If I Should Fall From Grace With God", antes de que la fórmula se empezara a agotar. El tercero, publicado en 1988, fue el disco de "Fairytale of New York" y "Fiesta". En la primera cantó con Shane la inolvidable Kirsty MacColl, hija del legendario Ewan MacColl, el señor que compuso "The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face" y "Dirty Old Town". Recuerdo un verano de 1988/89 en Miraflores de la Sierra, "Fiesta" sonando machacona en todas partes, un maravilloso y macarrónico tema brillantemente pachanguero en el que McGowan chapurreaba palabras en español como antes lo hicieran sus queridos Clash en "Spanish Bombs" o "Should I Stay Or Should I Go?".
Por si el castellano de Clash no fue lo suficientemente chapucero, la letra de McGowan era ya inenarrable. Todo ello acompañado de un surrealista vídeo que mezclaba Pogues en Casa Batlló de Gaudí; McGowan de smoking, faja y gafas de rock, vestido de torero, vestido de "guiri"; bailaoras de flamenco; un tío con cabeza de toro; fuegos artificiales, y, en una palabra, FIESTA. Estrepitosa, un verdadero disparate, como sus conciertos en directo, que es donde estaba su verdad. También sale en el vídeoclip Phil Chevron, viejo colega de McGowan de Radiators From Space, luego The Radiators, que se metió en los Pogues para grabar su segundo elepé.
Para fiesta, la que se marcaron con "A Message To You Rudy" en el escenario del londinense Town & Country Club en 1988, los Pogues, Lynval Golding de Specials y Kirsty, cualquier cosa en la que ella cante o salga es bienvenida siempre aquí.

On October 22nd 1989 Ewan MacColl, the multi-talented, socialist, folk singer-songwriter and playwright, died.
youtube
Another one that I am including as Scottish, as that's how he identified himself, Ewan was born in Salford, Lancashire,to Scottish parents, William Miller and Betsy (née Henry). William, a trade unionist, had to leave Scotland after being blacklisted at every foundry in Scotland.
MacColl recorded a huge volume of traditional Scottish and English folk songs, as well as creating a vast body of his own work, which ranged from satirical protest songs to tender love ballads, the latter most popularly renowned in his composition, The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face, written for his wife, Peggy Seeger (another folk singer), but made most famous by Roberta Flack.
MacColl wrote over 300 songs, some of which have been recorded by artists such as, the Dubliners, Dick Gaughan, Phil Ochs, the Clancy Brothers, Elvis Presley, Weddings Parties Anything and Johnny Cash.
My favourite song by Ewan MacColl is Dirty Old Town, it's not about Dublin, as many believe but Salford, because the Dubliners made it famous I think that's where the confusion comes from. Ewan must have been very proud of his daughter Kirsty, who followed on from her dad as a singer songwriter.
In 1979 he suffered the first of many heart attacks. The next ten years saw a steady deterioration in his physical condition, but he continued to work, tour, lecture and write songs. In 1980 he wrote his last play, The Shipmaster, the moving story of a sailing ship captain who cannot adapt to the coming of steam. In 1987 he began to write his autobiography, Journeyman. In the same year the University of Exeter presented him with an honorary degree. On October 22 1989, he died of complications following a heart operation. The University of Salford awarded him a posthumous honorary degree in 1991.

tag game: a song for every letter of my URL
I was tagged by @lurkingshan for this tag game with the instructions to “spell your url with song titles and tag as many people as there are letters.” My url has a lot of letters, so here’s a whole bunch of songs. To make it a little more challenging, and since @lurkingshan and other folks I know that have been doing this thing are people I know through QL tumblr, I tried to only choose songs that I could imagine fitting on a hypothetical QL soundtrack. So, songs about love, relationships, being a socially awkward weirdo, etc. (Some of them have gender references that don't match up with QL parameters, though.)
e - Everything Merges with the Night - Brian Eno
m - More Than This - Roxy Music
o - Ocean Rain - Echo and the Bunnymen
t - Together in Electric Dreams - Giorgio Moroder and Phil Oakey
i - I’d Die Without You - PM Dawn
o - Old Orchard Beach - Magnetic Fields
n - Not Nice to Be Nice - Sentridoh
a - Ain’t That Enough - Teenage Fanclub
l - Love to Know - Marine Girls
l - Love You More - the Buzzcocks
y - You Don’t Have to Say You Love Me - Dusty Springfield
c - Close My Eyes - Arthur Russell
h - He Gets Me So Hard - Boyracer
a - Alcoholiday - Teenage Fanclub
r - Room With a View - Let’s Active
e - Elephant Stone - Stone Roses
d - Dalliance - Wedding Present
t - They Don’t Know - Kirsty MacColl
o - Open Your Heart - Madonna
w - Wrap My Arms Around Him - Heavenly
e - Everything Hits at Once - Spoon
l - Loomer - My Bloody Valentine
I tried to tag people for this but it just makes me way too anxious. I sincerely hope that if you're reading this and haven't been tagged, and would like to be, you consider yourself tagged.

how do you think readers would guess a fic was yours if you posted anonymously?
♫ send a fic and i’ll make a 3-5 song playlist for you (TC if you are doing OGs, Symphony if not)
You always ask the best questions 💛 I answered the first one here, and as for the second…
There is actually a playlist with many many songs for The Chief. Mainly they’re songs by Scottish artists, with some Madonna (Kirsty’s fave), The Lion King (Rory’s fave) and Phil Collins (Phil’s least fave) for good measure. Some relate to moments in the story, others to characters, I’ll let you guess which corresponds to what.
My top picks from the playlist are:
Circle of Life (Elton John) — Themes of life, death, and birth are massive in The Chief. It also has many parallels to William Shakespeare’s Hamlet, from which the epigraph is taken, mainly with the relationships between Rory/Kirsty/Phil reflecting the dynamic of Hamlet/Gertrude/Claudius, and Rory and Ruaridh (Doug) reflecting that of Hamlet and Old Hamlet. The biggest direct reference to Hamlet is Rory’s stating that his favourite film is The Lion King, which was based on Hamlet.
Papa Don’t Preach (Madonna) — the Virgin/Mother/Whore trichotomy is a recurring theme in Kirsty’s chapters, as is that of religion. Putting these themes together is hardly groundbreaking. Madonna explored all of this in her music (even her name is a reference to this!) about thirty years ago, uncoincidentally in the same timeline as Kirsty’s story is set. “It’s what Madonna would do”, indeed.
Sweet Child O’ Mine (Guns&Roses) — nothing to do with the plot or themes of the story, but to do with the writing process. The majority of the first draft was written while I was travelling, and I have a clear memory of sitting on a bench in the sunshine whilst writing and a busker singing a beautiful acoustic cover of this song. Normally I don’t like writing with music, but this was an exception.
Sunshine On Leith (The Proclaimers) — This is the most important song of all, and is referenced three times over the course of the novel. There’s a simple reason for this: the title is taken from the lyrics of song’s chorus. And while The Chief puts sunshine on Leith/I’ll thank Him for His work/and your birth/and my birth… It’s a song about being grateful for the people in your life and being a better and happier person because of them, which at the end of the day, is what this story is all about.

Omg yes - 🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹
More new material for the redraft, more Doug for the redraft. 👴🏻
Doug narrowed his eyes and almost smiled as Phil passed him.
“Dinnae fancy another day in paradise, then?”
As soon as Phil was gone, Doug made his way over to the seat that had been left vacant by him and sat down on it. He picked up the newspaper and scowled at it before discarding it.
“You ken, lass, that you’d have been saved all this malarkey if you’d just married a nice lad from Muirhouse, no?”
Kirsty gave her father a weary smile. “Aye, you know some, do you?”

Scumbag Continued:
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Just a continuation of the Scumbag post because I reached the limit of photos I could attach to that post. Starting to think the tweets he made on the @whoknowsbitch1 about not having any friends was about himself, seeing as how he's stalked so many of mine.
*Image that's marked as 2* These are all the times he's tweeted about games HE has been actually playing. In the chat with Phil on messenger (I can provide screenshots if needed) around this time frame he talks to Phil about a couple of the games like God Of War, they had a lengthy discussion about that because Phil was basically helping him with how to defeat some areas and facts about the game. They also talk about Assassins Creed at some point, and he told Phil about him getting Jedi Fallen Order the last Xmas they ever spoke on messenger. Not to mention he always talks about Spiderman, he talked alot about Animal Crossing & the Pokemon games. This info is all on the accounts I came across AND his last Reddit account I found is a username dedicated to Xenoblade Chronicles 2 (CrimsonGuardianXCII) also Stacey plays The Sims game, she dedicated accounts to her playing the games and the characters she made.
*Image marked 3* Its super creepy a grown man is using a fake birth date, to follow women, (the one girl he follows and communicated with January 14th 2020 was 15!!!) his birth year is 1992. But its the fact he's targeted my friends to follow making himself seem younger than what he is. Super gross. Another thing is me & Phil whenever we're sus of an account we check back on it after a few days to see if Liam reacts, so what I mean by reacts is does he delete the account, which he's done a couple times, deletes posts, which he's done in the past before or changed the username. So as we predicted, even though we sent him no links to my tumblr, Phil blocked him and he must've gone to stalk Phils account or saw the link on my Reddit account. He's got rid of followers and some people he follows, he's deleted posts such as: Asking about putting Viagra in his luggage, tweets about Spotify and the Animal Crossing picture he used that was Stacey's character and the switch game. And his likes have gone down. This is a typical reaction once he's been found out, giving himself away even more.
*Image marked 4* This is YouTubes way of blocking a channel, if he left a comment, I won't see it, it essentially goes into a void. But anyway, I blocked both the ones that I know Liam has, Phil showed me the first one (they uploaded Uni projects on there, that's how Phil knew about it) when we realised Liam & Stacey were stalking. Phil wanted me to block as many accounts as possible so that I had no interaction with him, the second one was on his Twitch, that I blocked (which I found when blocking his twitter related to his Twitch) I have never interacted with Liam on there, I have never messaged him on there. I'm guessing the "Hi Kirsty👍🏻" is when he was stalking and realised I had blocked his account and him getting angry, that is how he exposes himself. But on his fake Twitter where he's pretending to be a female with a fake name, fake birth year and interacting with 15 year old girls, he's talking about ANOTHER youtube channel (none of the accounts I've blocked have numbers in the name) So this shows the extent that whatever platform he is on, he has made numerous accounts. What is this obsession with me? Because the latest findings with that Twitter account truly shows he is a crazy freak, not to mention the many questions as to why a 27 year old man (at the time) was interacting with a 15 year old. Its gross.
Tumblr media
I think its safe to say, I've provided enough evidence (don't worry there's lots more still to come) but from the evidence provided, the only person here who's been actively watching is Liam. From the fake Reddit accounts, fake twitter accounts, fake YouTube accounts, fake Instagram accounts and possibly he has fake Facebook accounts, the extent he has gone to constantly have an eye on what me or my husband Phil is doing is borderline crazy. I think he wanted to stay relevant because truthfully he's a loner, I think he's miserable with his own life, so therefore stalking his former mates wife and when he's caught out he likes to think he's the one that's being stalked. When in reality he's blocked and that's that. He's pretended to be a female twice, all whilst stalking my friends, which is so creepy. A 32 year Old man pretending to be younger than 30 to stalk women, it sounds as crazy as he is. The whole thing of "I'm a man no one believes me" is simply because he is full of shit. The only thing he's got screenshots of is stalking our accounts AFTER we've blocked his main account and even then it was us retweeting cheating quotes and narcissist posts, meaning he's using fake accounts. I've never followed his friends, I have mutual friends of his yes, but I never followed them first. They added me on Facebook, followed me on Instagram/Twitter first. He thinks he's someone special when really he's a nobody. It took us to June 2020 to realise he was doing anything because we didn't care about him. That's how much we cared about him, as soon as he was blocked, we didn't give a flying fuck about his existence. But this person who's boasted about his shit sex life, needing viagra, not cleaning his arse properly, bad mouthed his wife numerous times and has endless health issues, wanted to stay relevant, he wanted us to give him attention because its what he craved. The great thing is, if he's gone chatting crap to anyone and they approach me, I can simply send them the link to this tumblr which will reveal everything. If they looked at my Facebook, they'll see evidence and the link on my Facebook. The great thing is, him being so miserable is karma. He will be found out eventually by all those around him, and that will be karma, for providing so much evidence, for not moving on with his life when he was first blocked and for ever thinking he was smart enough to pull this off.

Dengan hasil ini, Man United total sudah mengalami kekalahan ke-11 di liga musim ini, mereka tetap terpaku di peringkat enam dengan 44 poin. Terpaut 11 angka dari Aston Villa, tim penghuni terakhir di zona Liga Champions.
Simak komentar Erik ten Hag di bawah ini.
Fans Suka Banget Cara City Kalahin Man United: Dikasih Harapan Terus Digeprek Rapor Manchester United Usai Dicomeback Man City: Onana Aduhai, Amrabat Aduh dek 1 dari 4 halaman Protes Gol Man City Sepanjang pertandingan, Man City memiliki 74% penguasaan bola dan 27 tendangan ke arah gawang dibandingkan dengan tiga tendangan yang dihasilkan oleh Setan Merah.
Namun dalam proses gol penyama kedudukan yang dicetak oleh Foden, ada pelanggaran yang terlihat jelas menjelang gol tersebut. Kyle Walker kedapatan melakukan kontak terhadap Rashford sebelum menginisiasi serangan balik setelahnya.
Kemudian, Ten Hag terlihat sangat marah setelah gol tersebut disahkan. Dan mendapatkan kartu kuning dari wasit Andy Madley karena protesnya.
“Saya melihat ke belakang dan bertanya kepada Rashy [Rashford] apakah ada kontak, mungkin pelan tapi ada kontak,” kata Ten Hag kepada BBC.
“Itu sangat bisa diperdebatkan, saya pikir ada kontak dan itu adalah momen yang menentukan dalam pertandingan.”
Kecewa Performa Man United Terlepas terjadi pertanyaan dalam proses gol yang dicetak oleh Man City, Ten Hag memberi penilaian terhadap performa timnya dalam kekalahan tersebut.
“Saya pikir secara keseluruhan itu adalah penampilan yang bagus, kami unggul 1-0 dan kami memiliki beberapa momen setelahnya untuk mencetak gol kedua,” sambung pelatih asal Belanda.
“Kami bertahan dengan sangat baik dan ada dua momen yang menentukan ketika kami hampir saja melakukan serangan dan kebobolan gol pertama.
“Kemudian Anda kecewa, kami harus menerimanya dan masih memiliki peluang untuk setidaknya meraih satu poin, namun kemenangan juga memungkinkan. Sangat disayangkan.”
Optimis Lolos Liga Champions Man United secara matematis masih mempunyai peluang lolos ke Liga Champions musim depan meski tertinggal 11 poin dari Aston Villa, menurut Ten Hag.
Eks pelatih Ajax Amsterdam itu optimis jika para pilarnya sudah sembuh dari cedera, Setan Merah akan kembali ke posisi empat besar.
“Ini bisa menjadi perubahan yang cepat. Kami akan melakoni laga final lainnya [melawan Everton pada Sabtu depan] dan mencoba untuk mendekat. Kami harus melakukannya. Kami harus memenangi pertandingan-pertandingan kami.
“Posisi kelima juga bisa menjadi posisi untuk Liga Champions sehingga kami harus berjuang untuk itu. Tahun ini kami benar-benar berkembang dan Anda harus mendapatkan beberapa poin. Setiap orang bisa mengalahkan siapa saja.”

tagged by @whifferdills for top five songs at the moment, which is a particularly odd moment because one of my 80s favorites died this week, so you get two Mojo Nixon songs
youtube
classic Mojo, also on my mind this week because a client is late paying me 🙃
youtube
but! do not sleep on Mojo's 1994 collab with Jello Biafra, which produced this cover of Phil Ochs' "Love Me, I'm a Liberal" updated for the mid '90s and still depressingly accurate nearly 60 years after Ochs originally recorded it
(also, sixty years. SIXTY YEARS. WAS 1966 NOT YESTERDAY EVEN IF I PERSONALLY WASN'T ALIVE THEN. WHAT THE HELL.)
anyway.
youtube
spouse was playing this in the office a few days ago and it is impossible not to sing along whenever I hear it. RIP Kirsty MacColl, will forever be furious that some drunk shithead in a speedboat took you from us so soon
youtube
heard this banger on WMBR's late-morning punk/metal/whatever-loud-thrashy-thing-the-dj-wants-to-play show and am deeply in love with it, need to listen to more of these folks
youtube
just turned up today on WMBR's vintage rock/country/blues show, and can you beat a 1958 blues song with lyrics like "take that guitar and git"? no, you cannot.
tagging anyone else who wants to play, memes like this are always great.

The folk singer-songwriter and playwright Ewan MacColl was born on January 25th at Salford, England.
MacColl was born as James Henry Miller at 4 Andrew Street, in Broughton, Salford to Scottish parents, William Miller and Betsy (née Henry),  William, a trade unionist, had to leave Scotland after being blacklisted at every foundry in Scotland.
MacColl recorded a huge volume of traditional Scottish and English folk songs, as well as creating a vast body of his own work, which ranged from satirical protest songs to tender love ballads, the latter most popularly renowned in his composition, The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face, written for his wife, Peggy Seeger (another folk singer), but made most famous by Roberta Flack.
MacColl wrote over 300 songs, some of which have been recorded by artists such as, the Dubliners, Dick Gaughan, Phil Ochs, the Clancy Brothers, Elvis Presley, Weddings Parties Anything and Johnny Cash.
My favourite song by Ewan MacColl is Dirty Old Town, it’s not about Dublin, as many believe but Salford, because the Dubliners made it famous I think that’s where the confusion comes from. Ewan must have been very proud of his daughter Kirsty, who followed on from her dad as a singer songwriter.
In 1979 he suffered the first of many heart attacks. The next ten years saw a steady deterioration in his physical condition, but he continued to work, tour, lecture and write songs. In 1980 he wrote his last play, The Shipmaster, the moving story of a sailing ship captain who cannot adapt to the coming of steam. In 1987 he began to write his autobiography, Journeyman. In the same year the University of Exeter presented him with an honorary degree. On October 22 1989, he died of complications following a heart operation. The University of Salford awarded him a posthumous honorary degree in 1991.
As he shares his birthdate with Burns I have chodsen a short number written by Rabbie called Rattlin' Roarin' Willie.
A wee bit about the song, summer fairs were an important part of Scottish life in Burns's day and to some limited extent still are. Despite the festive excitement, the musician in the song refuses to part with his instrument. Burns probably composed the song after his summer tour of the Highlands in 1787. Sir Walter Scott mentions a border fiddler nicknamed 'rattlin roarin Willie' but Burns adds a (mild) hint of bawdiness to the idea of 'fiddling'.
