Bragging Rights


I love these street installations done by artist Juliana Herrera. Very decorative fabric filling various potholes around Paris, I hope they don't get removed anytime soon.




I have nothing original to add today. This is my Friday, and I'm knee deep in allergies and post-vacation depression. Bleh.

When I first picked up Life's a Riot With Spy Vs. Spy by London artist/activist Billy Bragg, my life at the time seemed to be at the absolute best point to receive such musical enlightenment as this pivotal record. Sweet, teary-eyed songs, sung at such desperate volumes by just a bloak and his electric guitar. It moved me then, and does even now. This single, off his follow up LP, Brewing Up might be my favorite, and seems like it was the missing track from his beloved debut.
