...and all songs go better with beer. Comes a time ya gotta dance.
Well now, we all know it ain't you okjimm.
DeleteYeah, Tosh is good but Marley has always been my favorite Reggae artist.
Checking out Wilco and Billy Bragg, and for sure songs go better with a beer (or 2, or 3 or...) when dancin is on the agenda!
Billy Bragg and Wilco (Mermaid Avenue 1) - now that's what I'M talkin' 'bout!! That, and have you ever checked out the first 2 Uncle Tupelo records (Jeff Tweedy from Wilco was one of the front men)? Those are most totally awesome as well.
