x-post Yeah, but I always thought the reading recommendations and other liner note goodness on Mekons albums were kind of "for further research" bonuses, as much a pomo wink as Langford's cover art. Sure, some Mekons albums include bibliographies, but I figured that was not so much self-importance at work as it was the band's modest, honest eagerness to simply credit sources of inspiration.
