Billy Bragg - Everywhere (Written by Greg Trooper & Sid Griffin)

And his 'Sexuality' (with Kirsty MacColl and Johnny Marr) - Brilliant, funny lyrics.

From his very good 'Don't Try This At Home' album.

Love this album, seeing her the same week as Polly oddly enough.
Vocals remind me more of Siouxsie I must admit, though noticed the Polly reference (seemingly) in every review too.

How is that? I've been wondering. Saw / heard some YouTube videos and liked her.

Thanks.

I haven't heard it but I do know the album is co-produced by Rob Ellis. :-)
She's playing near me early next month. I might go.

The Fall's 'Our Future Your Clutter'.

I bought it with Polly's album (cd and vinyl, of course!).
I might start referring to it as 'Let England Shake-er' (in-joke for The Fall fans).

Pink Floyd's The Final Cut... (prior to Let England Shake-release)
That was 30 years ago, but not much changed in the horrors of war... and the marks it leaves on society
Really feel there's a thoughtfulness and desperation comparable to PJ's... NO COMPARISON, musicwise, though :laugh:
PJ 4EVER :mean: :shades:
'Good Golly, Miss Polly!'
