Friday. We can soon put this series out of its misery. If it were a horse, etc...
Lily Allen is a funny one, in my book. She managed to dodge the nepo baby tag by actually being objectively quite good at her thing, early doors. Now, apparently, she's made a whole album slating her ex hubby. But this, Friday Night is from her first flush, and is a great short story song.
Here's a very different Friday Night, from The Darkness. I don't mind Justin Hawkins - he doesn't take himself too seriously, at least he doesn't seem to, but on the quiet he is a proper aficionado, with strong, informed opinions about music in general and the music business in particular. Either way, Justin and his mates seem like they had fun making this. Good on them.
And now something for all those coming to this blog series for a dose of crap '70s prog ballsackery. This is Friday the 13th by Atomic Rooster. Behold the ridiculous album sleeve art and adjust your expectations accordingly.
Saturday next... rounding the corner into the home straight...
Agree with you very much about Justin. Have to disagree with you about Atomic Rooster, though! They've made some fine songs and, if you like your music with a healthy dose of misery, have a listen to this, from the same album:

In fairness, C, the song you linked to (here, for those needing a clickable link) is a different kettle of fish, much better. No ballsackery there!
DeleteWhat is going on with that sleeve art though? ;)
DeleteIt's absolutely horrendous, agreed! What were they thinking?
DeleteI imagine the conversation went something like, "Birds of prey are pretty cool, boobs are lovely, how can we combine the two? Oh, and don't forget a chair..."
Delete:-D
