Are there Billy Bragg songs that don't mention fascists?

Yeah, my feelings about Rangi are too strong to be changed by a bad pick. He's an awesome guy who has some pretty awesome tastes to go with it. I never said anything about voting.

Haha. With a single first round victory to my name, I think it's clear that no one is voting for Lament.

In my book, that means you're doing something right.
The best part is that in the round I did win, the person I beat (THIP) declared I only won because I'm more "popular."
I did that? Sorry, man!

I think it was more of a 'RMers aren't too fond of me' thing. I did have a kick-ass team, and yours kinda sucked, but it was still an asshole move, nonetheless. I'm just an oblivious hippie stoner fucky fukc...

I believe that makes it my turn.

Time to make what I believe Lament would call a "show me some personality" pick, so I'm going to side step a lot of the other bands that I equally love and pick a Dallas-area band that I've loved for 15 years now. They were on the edge of the "alt country" scene with their 1997 release Too Far To Care. Subsequent releases would lean more towards either straight up rock or even power pop, and lost just the hint of twang on most of the TFTC tracks. I dig all of their stuff, but TFTC is my favorite record from the 97's and for this list, I'm picking album opener (and traditional concert encore-ender) Time Bomb.



Old 97's - Time Bomb
Great pick. I didn't really get into them until my friend, Salim, started producing their music. My favorite albums are Blame It On Gravity and The Grand Theater. Not too big on their latest release, though.

Koopee did show up but it's still bart's turn. We should just give him something by Teenage Fanclub.
