It's not the holidays until you hear "Fairytale of New York" by The Pogues. I was reminded of that today when I heard it for the first time this season over lunch at Respect. Nothing says Christmas quite like the lyrics "Happy Christmas your arse, I pray God it's our last." My friend Brittainy is spending Christmas in London and picked up tickets to see them complete with Shane MacGowan on vocals (if he can manage to show up and remain standing). Here's a great live version of the song with the original/late Kirsty MacColl, Joe Strummer and David Byrne to kick you into the holiday spirit!!
