The Pogues universe
| 03.08.2011 On the Road... with The Pogues July 2011 - The Pogues tour. If the stage gets any darker than it is, the audience will have to be equipped with night-vision goggles. But don't shoot the piano player, I mean the lighting engineer; he's doing the best he can. Blame the frontman who threatens to leave in case he cannot enjoy cozy pitch darkness. Despite that, here is some photo evidence of the Pogues conquering Bavaria: Music photos: The Pogues in Munich or Rhapsody in Blue Quiz: Try to spot a duck on stage... 21.06.2011 A Bit of a Laugh “You did!” chimed the other two in unison, prompting Shane to laugh that Muttley-esque laugh of his – the one that sounds like ice being scraped from a frozen car window and which punctuates pretty much every sentence he utters. (Nathan Bevan, WalesOnline.co.uk, 2011) The first memorable description of Shane MacGowan’s laugh in 2011. Good to see that journos are still trying. Laughteria: one quote added 04.06.2011 Viva Barcelona Barcelona... Such a beautiful horizon... Well, if you call a pattern of squares more regular than those in Manhattan "beautiful"... Barcelona... Like a jewel in the sun... A dirty, dusty jewel baked by the merciless rays... Songs may shamelessly exaggerate, but there IS something about Barcelona. Gaudí rocks (all the way from the magnificent Sagrada Família to the super-cute water-spewing lizard). Monk parakeets rock. Bougainvilleas of all sizes and colours rock. The garden of Residencia Salesiana Martí-Codolar (one of the cheapest local hotels) is one of the highlights of the city. A ton of pictures can tell the rest of the story: Photo Gallery: Four albums from Barcelona Written on the Walls: Creations of Barcelona scrawlers 15.05.2011 Go East A handful of impressions from the country I love so well. Some well-recycled some brand-new. (Originally written for a mag targeted at Czech learners of English. Even English learners deserve to be treated to a dose of Ukraine...)

While some people masochistically hit the freezing streets for the sake of soaking up snowy atmosphere, others go for sadistic pleasures instead... Crumbs: Sadist's Delight |
