[lbo-talk] MP3izing music

[Alan Rudy]

My sense of Shag's post and query wasn't that she was lookin' for lefty
tunes... The Internationale?! Really? Was it Flipper who wrote "We Can Kill
The Landlord Man, Yes We Can?" and does Rage count or are the Minutemen, or
MDC or NWA way better?  Were the MC5 revolutionaries or wankers and what
about P-Funk? Can we do early Uncle Tupelo (in a Utah P vein, mixed with the
Minutemen?), or are the Waco Brothers way better'n the boys from Belleville,
IL? What about lefty latin folk/pop? How'd you characterize Manu Chao?
Would Green on Red count? Can I count the radical teen angst identified by
The Replacements' Let it Be as left?
I thought S-hag was shoving in (some of our) our face(s) her deep lack of
musical coolth (remember all the parentheticals?) and then wonderin' what'd
happen if she sought suggestions for stuff w/ greater coolosity.
