MP3: Randy - You are what you fight for
It's Friday again and I'm feeling overworked, so Simon Tagestam gets this week's classic post:
The infectious poppy punk stuff that Randy played on their first couple of EPs was what made me love this Swedish band in the first place, but their angry and political lyrics helped to cement my total devotion to them. "You are what you fight for" is from Randy's third album "You can't keep a good band down" that was released in 1998 and probably my favourite album of that year. Stefan Granberg might not have perfected his American accent at this stage (and he might not have done so as of yet), but I don't care since I'm a very strong advocate that this is nothing that really matters - foreign accents in music are charming and should never be frowned upon! The lyrics to this song always make me want to shape up and fully embrace my half-forgotten pseudo-ideals, perhaps after another 1,000 listens this will finally happen. Here we go...
