No, I haven't run out of famous Berties just yet... but it suddenly occurred to me that it's been nearly two years since we had a proper wallow in self-loathing, and what else are Fridays for?
Today we shine a spotlight of Richard "Dickon" Edwards: self-styled fop, dandy, and brother of Adam Ant's guitarist Tom Edwards. Dickon played guitars himself in Spearmint for a little while, and was also part of the band Orlando, but his major musical work came as the lead singer and songwriter of Fosca, a band who delighted in deeply sardonic song titles such as...
Fosca - On Earth To Make The Numbers Up
Fosca - Come Down from the Cross (Someone Else Needs the Wood)
...and...
Fosca - I Know I Have Been Happier
Today though, we focus on Dickon's anthem to self-loathing, Oh Well, There's Always Reincarnation, in which he describes himself as a "shocking waste of DNA".
Have a nice Friday.
