Top o' the Pops

This is a little gem I happened upon last winter while living in London. Originally recorded in 1986 by the Pogues with Cait O'Riordan on vocals, it was re-recorded as a duet with Shane Macgowan and Sinead O'Connor ten years later. Macgowan's and Sinead's voices juxtaposed is a perfection you couldn't ask a genie for.



Another good jam: I knew this song as a Frankie Stubbs acoustic original, but recently found out it is, in fact, a cover of a Nick Cave song. Though I like Stubb's version -dude is a genius- this ain't so bad either.
