Track 9 from Toy Love
Length: 00:02:43 Year: 1980 |
|
|
Track Description:
Toy Love were about the best thing to ever come out of New Zealand, and surely one of the most under-appreciated post-punk groups of their era. Toy Love were the starting point for Chris Knox, who would later go on to form The Tall Dwarfs, as well a solo career. Oh, and the song is sad. In the chorus he questions whether a friends suicide would have ill-effect on him. A sad position to be in, indeed. SHOW LESS

Track 2 from Dizrythmia
Length: 00:03:02 Year: 1977 |

|
Track Description:
Another group from New Zealand. Split Enz were the first vehicle of the Finn Brothers, who weould become accountable for the crime that was Crowded House. They had a hit in America with "I Got You", but they were pretty much creatively drained at that point. However, before younger brother Neil Finn became the main song writer of the group, they had a string of really great albums. And the song I put on the mix is sad.It's about love-lost. That's some sad shit. SHOW LESS

Track 8 from Punk Rock
Length: 00:02:30 Year: 2003 |
|
|
Track Description:
One of my favorite songs of all-time, although I'm not a huge Mekons fan. The original late-70's version of the song wasn't much to get excited over, but the version they would go on to perform live (and release in 2003) had some really great energy to it. The song is about a guy declaring his love for a woman to the extent that he would allow himself to be a cuckold. Due to it's sad, yet oddly uplifting, feel it ended up in heavy rotation during my last couple of break-ups. To it's credit, it stands alone outside of the context of the memories I have of those situations; the song defeated my ex-girlfriends and the drama. But it's still sad. Sad. SHOW LESS

Track Description:
Sad song from former Soft-Boys lead guitarist Kimberly Rew. Like both of the Finn Brothers, Rew was a talented musician who would inexplicably he go on to commit a music felony, as he was partly responsible for the song "Walking On Sunshine" as a member of Katrina & The Waves. However, unlike that song, "Fighting Someone's War" is top-notch quality. And sad. Suicide and such. SHOW LESS

Track 1 from Spooked
Length: 00:06:22 Year: 2005 |
|
|
Track Description:
Robyn Hitchcok is another ex-Soft Boy. And he is a genius. "Television" is one of the creepiest songs ever written. It's about a man having a love-affair with his television set. No metaphor there, either. A man who is litarly in love with his television. You would think such an idea would come off forced, or over-the-top, but nope. Hitchcock really treated it as if it were a genuinely sad love-ballad and it works, although it's deeply satirical, still. SHOW LESS

Track 1969 from It's So Hard To Tell Who's Going To Love You The Best
Length: 00:02:39 Year: 1969 |
|
|
Track Description:
It's too bad Karen Dalton's recording career was so short, because she was one of the few folk artists I can stomach. She was apparently a legend in the NYC folk community, admired by Dylan, etc. She never did manage to gain much attention outside of that circle, though. And she was a sad lady. "Substitute" is actually a pretty clever song. It's about a woman claiming to be crazy about a new "substitute" she found for a past-love. It's sad, obviously. SHOW LESS

Track Description:
The Grifters might be the only early 90's slack-rock groups I care for, although they had more of a blues based backbone (and could actually play their instruments). This song, which is sad, is a little out of character for them. But it succeeds in it's attempt at sadness. SHOW LESS

Long before being knocked up with Eddie Murphy's illegitimate child, Scary Spice was on top of the world. Now, she's nothing but washed up. It's kind of sad, really. Just by scoring third place in this contest, you've got infinitely more street cred than Scary. Congrats!
