Fine match, which I guess makes it the best match so far this round. A was rather interesting, curious in its sparseness and so on, while B has a pretty decent groove going on. A takes it by a pinch.

A is up there with Ghost Town as the best musical responses to Thatcherism. at the beginning of the 19th century, Blake writes one of the great romantic visionary poems, full of spiritual force, about his own version of gnostic, non-organized Xianity, and the nobility of the common man. During World War 1, Sir Hubert Parry writes an admittedly stirring, and very English pastoral, tune for it, and it becomes a hymn in the very church that Blake rejected. And somehow it evolves into a vague celebration of Englishness, an unofficial anthem, and the fucking vile cunts and vicious oppressors known as Tories appropriated it for their vile and poxy nationalist agendas. And then a very limited musician from Bristol tore it to shreds and attempted to reclaim it for the people for whom it was intended, taking the choirs and the mournful brass bands, and condensing 200 years of history in to an anarchic ruin of a 12" single. Well done, Sir, and fuck the rest of you. B is yet another fange pick that I don't have the time to listen to. I'm sure it's as good as they usually are, but I'm just not interested right now

I'm sure it's as good as they usually are, but I'm just not interested right now A It would have taken you less time to listen to this McCrae tune - it's under 3 mins., after all - than it took you to write that dramatic historical monologue. In fact, you could have listened to 'I Get Lifted' a couple of times as you were writing about Englishness, Sir Parry and 12" of anarchic ruin. I know i did while i was reading it.
