Paddy Murray teaches us a new version of the Pogues classic!!

I can’t imagine Shane McGowan singing this version!

It was December 24th, equal status female friend,

Fair play to Paddy Murray for his humorous insight on the case of the BBC censoring “Fairytale Of New York”. Head on over there to his site and read (and sing along!) with the two versions. Which do you prefer?!

Merry Christmas, or whatever you are having this time of year!

Justicia Now

justicia mofilms

Last post for today (on this site anyway!). I forgot to link this up here before. I have it on my Stumbleupon page and spread it a bit on Facebook. This is a short documentary by Mofilms which gives us an insight into how the indigenous people and nature in South America are affected by the business of Oil.
You can download the film from http://mofilms.org/justicianow/index.html.

Justicia Now! is a documentary about Chevron Texaco’s toxic legacy in the Northern Ecuadorian region
of the Amazon rainforest – and a courageous group of people called Los Afectados (The Affected Ones) who are seeking justice for the ensuing cancer, sickness and death in the largest environmental class action lawsuit in history.

Appearances by DARYL HANNAH and STUART TOWNSEND
