Billy Bragg, Young Marble Giants

	I heartily recommend Billy Bragg's new album. He has a band
	this time which may bother some people but I think it sounds
	groovy...and the lyrics are still the best.

Yeah, I think it's OK (Talking with the Taxman about Poetry), but it
doesn't eally compare with his earlier stuff, especially the first
album (a puckish satire of contemporary mores) -- the new album is
subtitled "The _difficult_ third album" and I think he means it ... if
you ever get a chance to see this guy live, sell the farm.

	I have a question about an old (?)  group called "Young Marble
	Giants". Anybody ever heard about them? All I know is that they
	are Welsh women. I heard a couple of songs off of a tape and
	this is all the information I have. Any scoop you can give
	(e.g. discography) would be appreciated.

YMG was from Boston -- I think they only had one reasonably distributed
album (collosal youth) and I've seen one single (cakewalking b/w ???).
