To mark the upcoming 10th anniversary of the tragic accidental death of singer Kirsty MacColl -- best known in America for the song "Fairytale of New York" with The Pogues -- friends and musicians from around the globe will come together for a tribute concert at Shepherd's Bush in London on Oct. 10 (Kirsty's birthday). The lineup includes Kim Wilde, Johnny Marr, Alison Moyet, Billy Bragg, Shane MacGowan, Catherine Tate, Clare Maguire, David Gray, Eddi Reader, Ellie Goulding, James Walsh, Jackie Clune, Phill Jupitus, Omar Puente and many others. Just reading about this warms my heart -- and breaks it that I cannot be in attendance. To lose such an incredible talent -- I consider "Titanic Days" to be her masterpiece -- at 41 years of age was truly one of music's greatest losses.
