I love Kate Rusby, I would certainly stalk her if I lived across the Atlantic. I can listen to, and do listen to her albums over and over again. Her new CD has the most delightful song, encapsulating the age old frustrations of change and the bitter taste of mass media, bandwagons, starbucks and gross entertainment. You really should hear the song to produce a larger grin.

That song is a "The Kinks" cover. Song's from 1968.
