That hard hitting expose on Country fairs is a shoe in for the Pulitzer surely?

That's County Fairs, my sophisticated friend. With pig races and tractor pulls.

Man, I love pig races. The pigs don't care who wins. Most of 'em don't even know it's a race.

Ah see it'd be Country Fair in England, more fun transatlantic diversity.

County Fair differentiates it from State Fair. State Fairs attract a higher class of washed-up musical acts. The County Fair gets Johnny No-Name, while the State Fair gets Billy One-Hit-Wonder. Big difference.

All you get at Country fairs are the Wurzels and a couple of Suffolk Punches, ooh and a DEFRA information booth.

I'm imaging the church fundraiser in Hot Fuzz.

Both county and state fairs feature the 4H club, as showcased in the A Day At The Fair short, but the prettiest, most impressive livestock sit out the county fairs, not deigning to grace we lowly yokels with their magnificent presence.

Well I can honestly admit to owning a whole heaping pile of indiepop though for the group county fairs will certainly be more interesting.

Two albums I picked up on Monday that are sitting next to my work computer ... this can definitely be defined as indiepop



while this post-Pavement side-project is closer to janglepop



of course this ain't the only style I enjoy ... f'r instance the best record I picked up on Monday ...

Where else can you see Connecticut's fattest rabbit?   Or, G. Puckett and the Union Gap, for that matter

It's completely obvious where The Hold Steady ripped off their style and sound - Thin Lizzy.  Why the critics all namedrop Bruce Springsteen I don't understand.
