What depresses me more than anything is when the term 'folk' is hiijacked by the likes of Seth Lakeman (? wtf IS THAT!), and even Kate Rusby (vindicated by Andy Kershaw none the less!), when you can tell they haven't got any feel for what they're doing at all. Or maybe they have, but alot of those Lal Waterson etc ballads (grrr!hate how that word's been hiijacked too!) just make my heart ache, and have the old 'dirt under the nails' in their own way, whereas all this stuff that just approximates emotion makes me sick to mah stomack!

Agree on Villalobos! Great stuff, been going through a few of the 12" releases.

And yes, The Pogues rarely get a mention in the folk debate, which might be to their advantage;-)
