Tunes for Tuesdays: KT Tunstall and Billy Bragg

Right. I have a narrow window to write here. And look at that, I'm posting at the brutal hour of 7:30 AM EST.

IT'S ON.

Tonight, I have the honour of attending my THIRD Billy Bragg concert. I am BEYOND EXCITED. Excited to the point of NEEDING TO KEEP THE CAPS LOCK ON. AT ALL TIMES.

In honour of his epic wonder and to also rejoice in the utter hotness (and potential gayness...?) of a certain lady he performed with, I give to you: Billy Bragg and KT Tunstall.

Marvel as they discuss the current British music scene and the influence of David Bowie:

As for reckless concerts, I think the five-song duet orchestrated by these two singer-songwriters is tops. Picture it: an HMV on Oxford Street, February 18, 2008. Tunstall and Bragg are given one hour to select AND rehearse key songs from five decades of British music. Their concert will be given to an undecided audience. What you get is a raucous, energetic, and under-rehearsed performance that I absolutely WISH I WAS AT.

Here's their hectic, free-spirited cover of The Human League's "Don't You Want Me." (I apologize for the rough recording, but it's still fantastic):

KT: "I was working as a cocktail." Yeah, I love her too much.

And now, I am off to power through my day and kick it with a strong finish at BILLY BRAGG'S 2009 CONCERT. Oh, someone pinch me now...
