What if we’re just passing through time

No One Knows Nothing Anymore – Billy Bragg

Billy Bragg doesn’t change much over the years.  You know basically what you’ll get: some populism, some perfectly drawn emotional portraits, and a nice little bit of humor.  I rarely love his records, but I pretty much always like them.  And Tooth & Nail is no exception.

It’s among the least aggressively political of his records.  Most of these songs dwell in the more rough and tumble world of emotional vulnerability and weary work.  That makes the whole project feel more like a halfway point than a completed project, but that’s actually quite a nice place for it to be.  It’s a record for asking questions and wondering what it’s all about – and that seems pretty appropriate for the current state of the world.

  1. Have you ever considered about adding a little bit more
    than just your articles? I mean, what you say is important and everything.
    However think of if you added some great photos or videos to give your posts more,
    “pop”! Your content is excellent but with images and clips, this blog could definitely be one of the greatest
    in its field. Great blog!
