Sounds bad, feels so good.
There’s an abundance of tracks that sound jolly but have underlyingly bad lyrics. That’s what we covered last week. WHAT ABOUT THE OTHER WAY AROUND, though? Why does angry stuff HAVE to be angry, and can it be something other than just dumb/wacky comedy if its not?
Neither of us went down the comic root, and both of us struggled. Along the way, we explore the deeper meaning of Otto, whether evolution may save us, and what the hell is going on with Billy Bragg? Is he truly the UK’s answer to Bob Dylan?
As with every week, we also offer scatological advice and horrorscopes and riffs of the week. What does Husker Dü?
One world, one love. Why are they spending so much money on bombs, and not enough on health care?
