Billy Bragg

11:45 on a Friday night and there's nothing I'd rather be doing more than listening to my entire Billy Bragg collection. Holy shit this guy can write a song. Nothing tops his early stripped down shit, if your not familiar he is seriously worth submerging yourself into for a while. There isn't the best selection to choose from on youtube but here are some classics that I was able to find. I was supposed to see him 3 or 4 years ago when he came around and for some reason (I really don"t remember) I passed it up, talk about foolishness. Oh well, please enjoy...

also...if your going to take the time to listen to any, if not all of these videos put in headphones and turn it up, way up, trust me he's best enjoyed that way).

yeah i didn't see those till after i posted this. i watched the whole thing and was surprised by how funny he is. there is a part when he is filming near the kremlin and an officer is asking him to put the camera away and he pretends to not no what he's talking about it's pretty amusing. his performance there of "help save the youth of america" is awesome i'm gonna put it up later
