Fairytale of New York

This song...  means quite a bit to me.

Back in high school, I was given/loaned a cassette tape.  The Pogues.  The tape couldn't have been more than a few years post release if that. It was a clear plastic cassette.  I had a cool sony walkman that i sort of took over from my stepfather.  This thing was cool.  Without the tape it collapsed into the same size as a cassette tape case. Music skip was part of the FF or RR buttons. It would auto stop at a blank spot.

I hit rewind countless times listening to Fairytale of New York.

25 years ago.

Check this bit out over in the Guardian. If you want.

Give it a listen while you're there.

If i should fall from grace with god was an album that meant a lot to me.

I never burned up that tape, I still have it somewhere, I still have a walkman that I can play it on. That one tape lives, nearly 25 years old.

The songs they are around on Youtube. In grad school there was a used CD shop above the bike shop.  I bought ever Pouges album that came through there that I didn't have.

I may be, if i can get my shit together, blasting some Pogues driving up to Wrentham on Saturday.

Granted, i do have to get my shit together and get there in the first place.

Weather looks to be more like Bog Weasels than Ice Weasels. Clement PDX conditions, aka close to EcoX type soil in places.

Hmm, i was going to write about NBX day 2 but i might just watch this instead:
