The Pogues - Rum Sodomy & The Lash

Kyle 'N Louie both describe this episode as "very Irish" as they deep-dive into The Pouges' Rum, Sodomy & The Lash from 1985. This Elvis Costello-produced Celtic Punk album is the purest version of the The Pogues available, and Shane MacGowan's songs on it are frank, honest and riveting. Also, Kyle makes an argument for fried chicken sandwiches and the band Big Country and Louie does a quick review of the new documentary about the Disney KISS/Star Wars rip-off band (yup you read that right) Halyx.

Show notes:

It's always fun when one of us brings in an album that is definitive for one of us, and Rum, Sodomy & The Lash is definitely that for Kyle. Here is that actually lovely birthday party for Shane MacGowan that was on The Late Late Show last year. Also, this is the week that we're all gonna get into Big Country and the Defunctland original documentary Live From The Space Stage: The Story of Halyx.
