Well, 42 years on and we’re still full of the ferocious beauty of life, thanks to the songs, the soulmates we have lost along the way, and the new ones that have stepped up so we can all share the music to this day. Christ knows we need it.
42 years ago today
'Red Roses for Me' is the debut studio album by the London-based folk /celtic punk band The Pogues, released on this day in 1984

41 years of Rum, Sodomy & the Lash. Thanks for all the love over the years ⚓️
On this day in 1985 No 16 UK Album Chart The Pogues “Rum Sodomy And The Lash” IMHO an album that everyone must hear at least once. Another difficult pick but I’ll choose “A Pair Of Brown Eyes” how about you? #1980s #ThePogues #StiffRecords @jillwebb2005 @nikidoog @Carolyn_on_x @FatOldAnarchist @brunstead @SkaManD14

BREAKING: Moments ago at the White House this took place.
A bunch of old people praying for a convicted felon, adjudicated rapist, who appears to have just blown up 100+ Iranian schoolchildren, while he hides the Epstein files, in which he appears in thousands of times.
We are a joke.

Emails released in the US Department of Justice files show that late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein was offered the chance to buy into a sprawling building tied to the Department of Defense in 2016, according to UK broadcaster ITV News.

Donald Trump is mentioned 37,750 times more than Prince Andrew in the Epstein Files, by the way.
But instead of an investigation, we get a coverup.
BREAKING: Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, King Charles’ brother, has been arrested on suspicion of misconduct in public office, ABC News understands.

Our magnum opus If I Should Fall From Grace With God was released on 18 Jan 1988. The band were at the top of their game for this one, a stone cold classic. Favourite tracks?

It's New Year, so time to look back and forward. These are 10 things I think we need to recognise in 2026. It’s a response to what I think are profoundly damaging mistaken assumptions I’ve heard and read from practitioners, journalists, and analysts in 2025. Warning: very long🧵

The most powerful AM broadcast transmitter is 450kW operated by TransWorld Radio from the island of Bonaire. This religious station operates on 800kHz as “Shine 800” and targets audiences across the Caribbean and South America. But its powerful signal is widely heard in the USA.
In addition it uses three different directional antenna patterns to boost the strength of its signal into its target listening areas.
The 440 kW Nautel NX400 transmitter feeds into a four tower Kintronic antenna system which was completed in January 2019.

Top of the Pops (17th December 1987). The Pogues & Kirsty MacColl are at number eight in the hit parade with Fairytale Of New York.

The Pogues' "Fairytale of New York" is one of the all-time great Christmas songs. We spoke to Steve Lillywhite, Jem Finer & James Fearnley about how it was made. The song's long gestation, a key tape edit, an imagined NYC and an unforgettable duet.

Nothing to see here, other than a State Department official meeting with a German neo-Nazi identified in leaked Russian documents as totally under the control of the Kremlin.
Mein Austausch mit Unterstaatssekretärin Sarah Rogers zur neuen nationalen Sicherheitsstrategie der Trump-Administration hat verdeutlicht, dass Washington einen starken deutschen Partner sucht, der bereit ist, Verantwortung zu übernehmen.
Deutschland sollte durch eine konsequente Wende in der Migrationspolitik und die eigenständige Organisation europäischer Sicherheit wieder als handlungsfähige Führungsmacht agieren, um die deutsch-amerikanische Partnerschaft auf Augenhöhe zu stärken. Nur wenn wir unsere Hausaufgaben machen, sichern wir unsere Relevanz auf internationaler Bühne. Um diesen Weg gemeinsam zu gestalten, möchte ich im Februar 2026 eine vertiefende Veranstaltung in Berlin organisieren.
