Sad songs they say so much

The 25 Most Exquisitely Sad Songs in the Whole World.

Well, more like the English speaking world, but still, an interesting list.

I like the band who sings the number one sad song, The Pernice Brothers. Their most recent album, Discover a lovelier you, is one of my favorite purchases of the last couple of years.

For a good laugh, have a look at the 20 Worst lyrics ever. The one by Sade made me giggle (I had never thought about it before).

Do not want!

« We may be witnessing a revolution in user-generated content, but the more mainstream the Web gets, the more it looks like the mainstream: homogenous, opportunistic and commercial. It’s no longer a subculture; it’s just the culture. And don’t we have enough of that already? Are we facing a future without a weird, vital, creative phenomenon like lolcats? Say it with me: « Do not want! »

From Creating a Cute Cat Frenzy, by Lev Grossman.
