The legendary Pete Dale (Slampt Records! Milky Wimpshake! Red Monkey!) phones it in from Newcastle upon Tyne, England. Last.fm calls Pete 'punk folk' (as opposed to folk-punk, I guess) or 'twee skiffle', neither of which, I guess again, are off the mark. Picture Woody Guthrie fronting the Buzzcocks; the names Billy Bragg and Phil Ochs get bandied about as well when discussing his solo stuff. Pete's songs are a superb mix of the political, the personal, and the gloriously mundane, thrown into the indiepop blender with the lid off and splattered on the wall. If there are important questions, I don't ask them. Just four new songs, an ace cover, a MW classic, and an unreleased love song for his eldest daughter!
Thursday
