My Dad Is Dead - Nothing Special.

[bitchesthebook]

My dad was nothing special. I rid myself of the cause of my pain.

[scringe1]

I saw these guy open for The Pixes in Boston back in '88

[dernorder]

This song is the best of Mark Edwards, legendary!!



[genemullett]

Love Mark Edwards & this album especially. Saw his penultimate show a few weeks back in Cleveland.  He did his last one in Chapel Hill.

[Artaud1957]

@genemullett I used to see Edwards catching the Number 6 bus on Euclid Avenue in downtown Cleveland, back in the day. I think he was working downtown at the time. He's a really nice guy. He should have been huge.

This is my first exposure to this band. I must say, I'm pleasantly surprised. Honestly, I thought I'd have left after the first few seconds, but I listened to the song in its entirety, and it isn't too bad, subject matter notwithstanding.

[Artaud1957]

It is a problem because my friends list includes many nieces and nephews who are minors, as well as sisters in law and friends who are offended by the sort of profanity contained in your screen name. I don't understand the need to put the most extreme sort of profanity in one's public internet name. But, what you do is entirely up to you. It's just that you limit the extent to which others can share in your posting.

@Artaud1957 Considering the lyrics and subject of the song I would say that my username is the least of their concerns...

[krisundbill]

@Artaud1957 "Friends Lists" means you can have lists that exclude nieces and nephews and others who might be offended. :)

[pigroastr]

@Artaud1957 shut up

[Artaud1957]

@pigroastr No! I won't I won't I won't!

[dfwal18]

@Artaud1957 Seriously? Do we live on the same planet? Look around, most of the world is full of idiots breeding and destroying the same place that your "nieces and nephews" will live long after you're gone... we hope. We all need to stop and think about the bigger picture before making a fuss about a silly word. Little ironic since you're the sicko wanting to send little kids songs about suicide. Which begs the question, are they really old enough for facebook?

[Artaud1957]

@dfwal18 It's called "A life." Please, get one.

[jbox010]

@Artaud1957 I'm reading all the comments in response to your stupid logic and my head starts to hurt. Are you really that dense that you can't see people think you're an idiot? Hell I bet I get a few more thumbs just for saying this shit... should tell you something.

[Artaud1957]

Thanks for posting this. Unfortunately, because of your screen name I can't share it with anybody on Facebook.

[Mindfuckedproject]

@Artaud1957 - That sounds strange. It has never been a problem. I can share it on facebook no problem.

[31makimba]

@RealestSlimShady What the fuck is wrong with you? Are you incapable of empathy? Someone's father just passed away and you post a comment with nothing but laughing? You're seriously lacking in the morality department.

[scringe1]

I saw this band back in 1988 in Boston. they opened up for the pixies I think. I remember this song live. Very cool.

[bazmchat]

Fantastic track. He recorded an even better version for John Peel (BBC Radio 1) sometime in the late 80's/ early 90's. I'd upload it to YouTube if I had the technology...

[googoobh]

This dude really should have made it huge , he did great work and was consistant as hell too

[4021971]

I saw him do this at CBGB's several years ago.

[odentonart]

Great, great, great! Forgot all about him until a friend mentioned him. Didn't realize he was still playing after all these years....

[franz1789]
