In the spirit of good music, here's a couple of songs I've been playing, well, repetitively is a nice way of putting it, recently.
Billy Bragg - The Marching Song of the Covert Battalions
The lyrics and the way they're set to the music cracks my shit up, but I think what I love most is the way it quotes from When Johnny Comes Marching Home, which I know from singing "The ants go marching one by one" in school assemblies. Ah, primary school, how I miss thee.
Kanye West - Jesus Walks
So that Jarhead trailer I was nattering about? I tracked down the music from it--ok, so apparently this is was a big hit, but I don't listen to the rap music usually, so I was proud of myself. Anyway, this song is fucking awesome. I keep trying to call him Kyan, though. He'd probably put one of those caps in my ass for that.
White Stripes - There's No Home For You Here
I have been listening to Elephant like a LOT recently. There are a ton of great tracks on that album. Seven Nation Army and The Hardest Button to Button can be heard in the video section of their website (and they're both AWESOME videos too); here's another of my favourites.
