I have a confession to make about Shane MacGowan. I haven't signed up to the "MacGowan Is A Genius" newsletter yet and don't think I ever will. Didn't get the Pogues, apart from the obvious Christmas record and , well, that's it. I haven't tried very hard to listen to them so it's definitely a case of 'It's not you, it's me'.
But I do like his Nips/Nipple Erectors incarnations, especially the first record tonight. 'All The Time In The World' sounds like a beat boom classic, like 'Leaving Here' as done by the Who.
Apart from that there's Missouri's finest, The Trend and half a performance by Steppes. You have to love a record called 'God's Got Religion' even if half of it is spoiled by the guitar player who obviously sneaked back into the studio when the rest of the band had finished for the day and overdubbed an awful guitar solo that's almost a parody of poodlerock.
