'90s Music Monday - Nick Cave / NFADs
As I don't write a '90s Music Monday post every week, I thought I'd be cheeky and post two (or ten, depending on how you look at it) videos this week. The clip comes from ITV's Chart Show*, rendered on a farm of Amigas (possibly in a back bedroom somewhere in the UK) and lovingly uploaded to YouTube (along with a bunch of other chart rundowns) by 23Daves, who managed to keep hold of his VHS tapes longer than I did.
This video is the Indie Chart from September 1992. The first track played in full is one of the singles from the Nick Cave album Henry's Dream.
However, the real reason I'm posting this is that at number one is an obscure band who unfortunately got caught up in the dying backwash of Madchester. The New Fast Automatic Daffodils weren't really anything to do with a scene, but because they were from the same place, they got lumped in with the likes of the Happy Mondays. While not quite their last gasp, it was their last single to really trouble the industry, but I've always liked its rather fatalistic view on the world. Hopefully you will too.
* Interesting point in that Wikipedia article: "Only episodes from 1991-92 and 1996-98 were shown due to other episodes being stored on video formats which they no longer had the ability to play" Thank goodness for people with VHS tapes, eh?
