Wikipedia's article on Richard mentions his time with Pulp, but the Wikipedia article on Pulp doesn't mention his involvement. I think he was guitarist on the tour in support of Pulp - This Is Hardcore, and maybe didn't do any studio work with them... does anyone know more?]]> http://www.simonwheatley.co.uk/2005/12/23/richard-hawley-pulp/feed/ 0 http://www.simonwheatley.co.uk/2005/11/18/the-best-pogues-album/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=the-best-pogues-album http://www.simonwheatley.co.uk/2005/11/18/the-best-pogues-album/#comments Fri, 18 Nov 2005 09:35:13 +0000 Simon Wheatley http://www.last.fm/user/simonwheatley/journal/2005/11/18/34245/ Mark Radcliffe tells us that the competition for The Pogues best album is between The Pogues - If I Should Fall From Grace With God and The Pogues - Rum Sodomy & the Lash.

On careful and repeated listening, I have to prefer The Pogues - Rum Sodomy & the Lash. To me the songs seem more raw, the music more passionate and wonderfully ragged round the edges. The two opening songs are superb, and contrast brilliantly. The Pogues - The Sick Bed of Cuchulainn smashes in, and The Pogues - The Old Main Drag sucks you down. Brilliant stuff.

The prize for best song though has to go to The Pogues - Fairytale of New York, with Kirsty MacColl, which is a great mix of the maudlin and a drinking party. One song it's worth looking forward to Christmas for.]]> http://www.simonwheatley.co.uk/2005/11/18/the-best-pogues-album/feed/ 0 http://www.simonwheatley.co.uk/2005/09/23/most-perplexing/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=most-perplexing http://www.simonwheatley.co.uk/2005/09/23/most-perplexing/#comments Fri, 23 Sep 2005 14:42:23 +0000 Simon Wheatley http://www.last.fm/user/simonwheatley/journal/2005/09/23/17317/ Ramalama [Bang Bang] is less than a tenth as popular as Sow into You?
