Friday night is sad song night

[Yellow Fang]

This is a sad song about a life that went wrong.

He's pretty awesome. He first came to notice as half of Disposable Heroes of Hiphoprisy, then formed Spearhead, which was basically a soul outfit. These days he does stuff with an ever-changing mix of people, and he's a really excellent songwriter, a social and political activist, and just a lovely guy. The best album he's done, I would say, is 2001's Stay Human, but everything he's done is worth getting.

Wow - I didn't know what happened to them.

I liked "TV - the drug of the Nation" and "California Uber alles" / although I somehow found them a teensy-bit self-righteous.

I much prefer Hey World - judging by the one song you posted!

That'll show up on my I-Pod.

I remember you posting "The Real Great Britain" by the Asian Dub Foundation a few weeks ago from 1990 (which was a forgotten gem for me), and I've put it on my gym I-pod playlist - which means I hear it all the time. A real classic.

EDIT - essential viewing for Stoney et al.

In fact it should be essential viewing for all British children. (takes cover hastily)

Richard and Linda Thompson.

One of the most beautifully sung sad songs that I know.

Feel and Triple - Stereolab

Quite a bouncy & upbeat song considering it's their offering to their Australian singer Mary Hansen following her death in a cycling accident in London.

You will
Sing
Forever
Like
An angel
Who
Flew away

A bit of cycle imagery in this one!

Mary is the one in shades playing the guitar; the keyboard player, Katherine Gifford, is now a wrestler. Do a search on Google or Youtube!

This is the one and only song that makes me cry.

Yellow Fang - Johnny the Horse by Madness/Ian Dury is an inspired choice, by the way.

It is one of their better later songs. Sugar and Spice is pretty miserable too from their last LP: The Liberty of Norton Folgate, although I was disappointed with the LP as a whole.
