Dar Williams: Mortal City
Ash and I have been listening to Mortal City by Dar Williams in the car recently. In particular, we really like track eight, “The Pointless, Yet Poignent Crisis of a Co-Ed.”
And another thing, what kind of a name is “Students Against the Treacherous Use of Fur”?
Fur is already dead, and besides, a name like that doesn’t make a good acronym.
It’s a good album, as long as you like really, really folky music. We generally do.
Mortal City is one of my all-time favourite albums, up there with Paul Simon’s Graceland and Coldplay’s A Rush of Blood to the Head. Rock on! (picture me waving my lighter in the air as you read this)
