All killer, no filler 💕
Today, the theme is ‘a song that starts with F’ for #Day6 of #DavidsMonthOfMusic… one fave “Fragile” by the legend #Sting (1988), or I could have “Fairytale Of New York” by #ThePogues with #KirstyMacColl from 1987, although it is now after the twelfth day of Christmas…. Both excellent songs!!

I get so annoyed when I see it credited here as “The Pogues”. It would have been nothing without Kirsty’s magnificent vocals. #kirstymaccoll

Day 23 of the Underplayed Christmas Carol Advent Calendar written over a postcard of Minneapolis that has 3 images—top, a pavement princess known as “Frankenhooker” peddles her wares outside a hotel; in the bottom left, we have Kirsty leaning and singing on a Shane MacGowan powered piano against a retro Minneapolis bar-lounge; and in the bottom right, we have the main selection’s artist, a tiny Tom Waits singing on stage to an empty, retro dining room. Today a thematic paring: 2 of the best written Xmas songs ever. Rock Hall of Famer Tom Waits sings with the gravely voice of a bluesman that a critic described as “soaked in a vat of bourbon, left hanging in the smokehouse for a few months, and then taken outside and run over with a car"—or as Bob Dylan calls it, “beautiful;” Waits once sang in a less affected way until encouraged to sound more like Cookie Monster by his wife, Kathleen Brennan. I always remember Waits admitting to Terry Gross that even he “wonders to what degree he’s a true eccentric or a guy in a funny hat”—so many may find it surprising Waits is long-married to his songwriting partner, the best couple collaborators since Sheeley & Cochran—albeit with more longevity and sophistication. Tom also acts, including a career best, his bum cameo in the Fisher King. Fairytale of NY was underplayed in the US, but has become the most-played Xmas song in the 21st C. But it’s a favorite and pairs perfectly with the main pick and the theme (bonus). Shane was 🇮🇪’s greatest songwriter, born on Xmas day, died during Xmas season, and eulogized in front of the 🇮🇪 President as a cosmonaut who cowrote a song with a hallucinated Freddy Krueger. Kirsty also died during Xmas, saving her son from a drunk Mexican millionaire’s motorboat in waters designated swimming only. It’s an ironic death for the daughter of 🏴’s Pete Seger (even married Pete’s sis Peggy), socialist folkie Ewan MacColl. Kirsty’s best album Kite eerily resonates with her self-sacrifice.

#KirstyMacColl night on BBC4. Amazing writer, singer wit. That London tradition of a song that tells a story. So much missed. ❤️
