Five fer Friday II

[MP3] XTC – “Funk Pop a Roll” EXPIRED
Andy Partridge is at his best when he’s angry, and in this song he’s very angry at the music industry.

[MP3] Bash & Pop – “Never Aim to Please” EXPIRED
When I heard Tommy sing “Tried to keep the party rolling … it rolled over me” in this his first post-Mats effort, I knew he was still a Replacement at heart.

[MP3] Stiff Little Fingers – “Alternative Ulster” EXPIRED
A true punk classic – SLF would never reach these heights again.

[MP3] Dropkick Murphys – “Good Rats” EXPIRED
Great DM tune featuring Shane MacGowan of the Pogues.

[MP3] Fountains of Wayne – “Bowling Shoes (Live)” EXPIRED
This would later become “The Girl I Can’t Forget” which appears on their B-side collection, Out-of-State Plates.

Have a great weekend. Go state!
