Dead Kennedys - Too Drunk to Fuck
Stereotypically punk in a bad way, just coarse with nothing to say. But maybe I'm just bitter because I don't have any parties to go to.
4/10

The Pogues - A Pair of Brown Eyes
8/10

Kult - Wódka
Każdej grupie przydzielono zbombardowanie innej wyspy. W wyniku bombardowania zniszczono dok i zacumowany w rejonie Penangu jako przydatnych do Indii. Zbiorniki paliwa na singapurski dok, ale ze względu na Wyspy Japońskie, bombowce atakowały cele amerykańskich.
1/10

Jeff Buckley - Lilac Wine
8/10

Gil Scott-Heron & Brian Jackson - The Bottle
7/10

Slim Dusty - My Pal Alcohol
5/10

Tom Waits - Jockey Full of Bourbon
Still don't like him.
4/10

Sachiko Kobayashi - Omoi de sake
Translated lyrics here.
9/10

Gogol Bordello - Alcohol
Always thought of these guys as a novelty band so by that standard this is better than expected.
6/10

Haha what the actual fuck?

 

[EspaDa]

Yeah, and the message has completely no relation to Kult and their song.

 

[Vegard Pompey]

Clearly you have no understanding of allegory.

 

[EspaDa]

You don't like the song because it's Polish, right?

Dead Kennedys - Too Drunk To Fuck
This song turned me onto Dead Kennedys. Before that I think I'd only seen a live clip of them playing Holiday in Cambodia and I thought it was pretty bad. Heard this and loved it. 9/10

The Pogues - A Pair of Brown Eyes
Sounds like The Pogues. I don't hate it but I'm not Irish 5/10

Kult - Wódka (Vodka)
I like it. Good euro punk. 7/10

Jeff Buckley - Lilac Wine
My least favourite song off Grace. So saccharine sweet and I prefer his originals. Still good though. 7/10

Gil Scott-Heron & Brian Jackson - The Bottle
Fucking jazz flute can just fuck right off. 4/10

Slim Dusty - My Pal Alcohol
My Dad used to play me Slim Dusty songs on his guitar when I was a kid. My Dad's a pretty good bloke. I can't help but feel sentimental. 7.5/10

Tom Waits - Jockey Full of Bourbon
Pretty boring. 5/10

Sachiko Kobayashi - Omoi de sake
This is fucking beautiful. I could've gone a third version. 9/10

Gogol Bordello - Alcohol
Hipster Gypsies are ok 6/10

I think perhaps we have/had the same DVD. Was it from a punk video compilation?

Nah it used to be on Rage all the time when I'd sit up waiting for them to play metal with my VHS paused and ready. I couldn't stand punk at that time and watching sweaty/slimy Jello flail about kinda repulsed me.

raaaaaaaaaaaaaaaagggggggggeeeeeeee

Dead Kennedys - Too Drunk to Fuck 6.5/10
I like them but I never could get past the goofy style of these guys enough to truly consider myself a fan. They just make me want to listen to the much better B-52's or something.

The Pogues - A Pair of Brown Eyes 10/10
Love The Pogues, always have and always will. True die-hard boozehounds listen to Irish music.

Kult - Wódka (Vodka) 6/10
I hate vodka but this song was okay.

Jeff Buckley - Lilac Wine 7.5/10
He really was very good at minimalistic compositions like this. I still prefer his father's works but songs like these remind me why people love him so much.

Gil Scott-Heron & Brian Jackson - The Bottle 10/10
That was fucking amazing.

Slim Dusty - My Pal Alcohol 9/10
The embodiment of the Australian spirit. Bloody legend, nuff said.

Tom Waits - Jockey Full of Bourbon 8.5/10
Can't go wrong with Tom Waits + Alcohol. Instrumentally it reminds me of the Black Books theme, which reminds me of Dylan Moran and simply amplifies the theme.

Sachiko Kobayashi - Omoi de Sake 9.5/10
"Life is such a wilderness these days.
Memory wine, getting drunk is all I do."

Unlike the other foreign language song, I actually love sake. Hail yakuza juice!

Gogol Bordello - Alcohol 7/10
That was some crazy gypsy shit.

Genuinely surprised nobody submitted "Gin and Juice" by Snoop Dogg.

 

[Carpe Mortem]

I'll get to this tonight

 

[Satanstoenail]

I'll get to this tonight

I see you got them extra long days out your way

Dead Kennedys - Too Drunk To Fuck – it’s good, this was my intro to Dead Kennedys iirc and I like it more now than I did then, nice twang and all, 6.5/10

The Pogues - A Pair of Brown Eyes – eh, 4/10

Kult - Wódka (Vodka) – is this dub? I don’t really appreciate the intricacies of various reggae derivatives, but in any case it didn’t seem interesting before the vocals came in, once it got all Polski I almost chuckled, though I liked the crazy instrumental section, 5/10

Jeff Buckley - Lilac Wine – good song but not one of my favorites of his, I’m finally starting to gravitate towards his dad tbh, 6/10

Gil Scott-Heron & Brian Jackson - The Bottle – 10/10

Slim Dusty - My Pal Alcohol – ok, fun, 5/10

Tom Waits - Jockey Full of Bourbon – kitsch but I didn’t realize this was Tom Waits on the basis of his voice, which is obviously a good thing, 4/10

Sachiko Kobayashi - Omoi de sake – only listened to the first version, pleasant, 6/10

Gogol Bordello – Alcohol – yeah this playlist just isn’t for me, half these songs could have been on Sesame Street with different lyrics, 4/10

 

[Serjeant Grumbles]

@arg, @no country for old wainds, @Carpe Mortem, and @EspaDa still need to rate.
