From: ihnp4!attunix!sfsup!tamar I heartily recommend Billy Bragg's new album. He has a band this time which may bother some people but I think it sounds groovy...and the lyrics are still the best. Yeah, I think it's OK (Talking with the Taxman about Poetry), but it doesn't eally compare with his earlier stuff, especially the first album (a puckish satire of contemporary mores) -- the new album is subtitled "The _difficult_ third album" and I think he means it ... if you ever get a chance to see this guy live, sell the farm. I have a question about an old (?) group called "Young Marble Giants". Anybody ever heard about them? All I know is that they are Welsh women. I heard a couple of songs off of a tape and this is all the information I have. Any scoop you can give (e.g. discography) would be appreciated. YMG was from Boston -- I think they only had one reasonably distributed album (collosal youth) and I've seen one single (cakewalking b/w ???). /jordan
