Before completely falling apart and breaking up, The Libertines released this track as a single. Lyrically, this song ominously details the breakdown of friendship between the band’s figureheads, Peter Doherty and Carl Barât, and is penned by both. This is still a euphoric banger of a track, where the aforementioned also exhume their love for music and each-other, a love that outlasted even The Libertines.

Let me tell you, they were having fundays in Ethiopia in in the sixties and seventies. Musically, at least. If you don’t believe me, stay tuned the coming months and I’ll drop a couple of Ethiopian soul tracks that will blow your socks off. First up is Samuel Belay.
Friday was fun but also a little exhausting. We keep reminding ourselves to keep the Funday flame burning. So to make up for the missing SLF post, here’s something to keep you company until this Friday.
‘If you don’t get yourself together and try to understand,’ I told myself, ‘that Friday is Funday, and it won’t stay fun unless you maintain it.’ But don’t call it a comeback, I’ve been here for years. Just haven’t posted anything here for quite a while. Marva Whitney is as great a start as I could come up with. Until next Funday…
Soul music in that good old tradition. Hard to find music that is more funday than that. Sharon asks: How Do I Let A Good Man Down? I’d like to say: Don’t let yourself down by not listening to this!
