Erik G is a pretty calm guy, but when he watches this video of two of his favorite people --Kate Nash and Billy Bragg-- duet the song "A New England" he's going to FLIP!
Here's the scoop from Filter:
Kate Nash & Billy Bragg A New England Video
Last week's SXSW was an utter blur, but a glorious blur it was. Filter hosted three days of music and fun in the sun at Cedar Street Courtyard, all sponsored by our friends at American Rag and VTech. Our final day ended with a headlining performance by secret special guest and current Ragged cover star, Kate Nash. Tacking on an additional "wow" factor, Kate brought along her friend, the one and only Billy Bragg, to play a few songs with her for the packed crowd. We've managed to get video footage of Kate & Billy dueting on the Billy Bragg classic, "A New England", where you can easily see the genuine comradeship between the unlikely duo as they equally trade off smiling glances and verses.
If you want to see another version of them singing it together (at a recent stop at the Roseland Ballroom), this video is a bit longer:

I'm sitting here in the lovely Portland Airport (no, really, it is lovely .. I actually like PDX) wishing the web was fast enough to watch this! I'll have to wait until I get back to California but I'm giddy with anticipation!
Billy *sigh*
Kate *sigh sigh*

Speaking of BB what about that new album? I haven't heard it yet or read any reviews. So anybody hear it and have anything to say about it?

Billy's new one, Mr. Love & Justice is due out on April 22nd (in the US at least). I haven't heard much of it yet, but I am excited.
