I think I was fooling myself thinking I'd keeping any sort of consistency with posting but here were are in March 2024.
I love Green Day's new song and I was never a huge Green Day fan to begin with.
From their new album "Saviors", the song is big on melody and loud gutiar, bass guitar and drums, delving into minor-chord 50's tinged territory, but sticking to their guns with it's punky chorus.

Pulp - Background Noise [new song]
Last month, Pulp introduced a new song to their recent live set, entitled "Background Noise". Deets at NME.
Feels like 1995 again. And a classic-sounding Pulp song at that.

Shane MacGowan, R.I.P.
It is with deep sadness to read the news first thing this morning about the passing of Irish musician and and The Pogues frontman, Shane MacGowan. With the passing earlier this year of Sinead O'Connor, this has been a sad year for Irish popular music.
As an Asian-Canadian teenager growing up in the late 80's, Celtic music was as far removed from my musical tastes as could be given my affinity for British alternative bands like The Smiths, The Cure, Echo and The Bunnymen, Depeche Mode, and New Order at the time, but The Pogues managed to gain a foothold into my music listening. The Pogues' "Fairytale of New York" (included on their 1987 album "If I Should Fall From Grace With God") ranks as one of my favourite songs of all time, and the fact that Shane has passed away just as the Christmas season has begun, will make listening to this song during the Christmas season, bittersweet for years to come.
