VOTE DAVE! and the setlist for 7 November, 2009

Former Blur drummer Dave Rowntree is running as the Labour Party candidate for the Cities of London and Westminster seat in the British Parliament's House of Commons. In the BBC's words, the area is "considered a safe Tory seat," so Rowntree's got his work cut out for him. His platform revolves around housing. More info here.
