my missus would agree with you though Tibet & Current 93 have managed to usurp Fripp & King Crimson as her most hated musical stylee, she asked me to turn it off and put some of that horrible doom dirge shit on instead because it was slightly less irritating.


my wife hates folk too - i have to say "no no, most of what gets called folk is crap, but THIS is good ..." don't think i'm gonna convince her tho (esp w/ dick gaughan!)

i tend to like more ethno-type recordings, like scottish tradition series or alan lomax, where they just go out + fing gnarled old gits who've been singing or playing all their lives .. got a soft spot for early steelye span tho too

Oor Dick G's a stern fucker tho - i've got "no more forevers"+ "gaughan" ... don't know why he doesn't get venerated like shirley collins or the Watersons (maybe it's just english folk that's trendy?), but i'm glad he doesn't /// i checked his website last week too - he's a card, for sure
