i prefer indie rock like elliott smith/gregory and the hawk. i don't think people generally consider that folk, right?

Folk punk is all good I'll try to talk about some of LA's folk (including folk punk) stuff; but for now...
I've been rocking these mp3's lately, I don't know what it is, maybe because the songs are all about isolation and trying to fit in but in a weird old timey kind of way that I can't understand even if I tried:

Various Artists - I Don't Feel At Home In This World Anymore

Not all of it is folk, but a large majority of it is folky. I guess the concept is supposed to be 'folk songs from around the world but made in America', or something like that.

i just started listening to this and am very intrigued
