dark is normal and pop is trivial

Looking for videos for this morning's post, I came across this, which I'd not seen before. I'm not sure if folk is as cool as some critics make out, but I think there is a new appreciation of the influence folk has had on popular music. Thommo says himself "I'm not a folkie. I'm a singer-songwriter with traditional roots" - maybe that's as good a definition as any other of the music I like (says the man who is happily supping from his new Spiritualized coffee mug - a replacement for my late lamented Pogues one).
