THEY SAY SO MUCH, SO FAST: This week's Friday playlist originates with an audience suggestion (yes, we do take them) from frequent commenter Watts--"uptempo sad songs." As I was mulling over what an appropriate theme this week would be on my way to work this morning, Mumford and Sons' "Little Lion Man" popped on the iPhone, and that's almost a paradigmatic example of what I'm looking for there--some seriously melancholy lyrics coupled with a banjo solo that wouldn't be out of place on Banjo Boogie Bonanza. Add as you see fit, ladies and gents.
