Billy Bragg & Wilco
Mermaid Avenue

Here they are, lost Woody Guthrie songs redisovered and re-recorded by Wilco and everybody's favorite British folk singer, Billy Bragg. There are only three things I have to say. 1) Woody Guthrie, and probably Bragg, really were fascists. 2) How come Arlo Guthrie is always a clue in crossword puzzles? 3) Did you ever see "Walking and Talking" with Ann Heche? It uses the Bragg song "Must I Paint You a Picture" and it's pretty cute in the movie.
