Friday Night Videos

Friday Night Videos

The Kinks have been broken up since 1996, with only occasional solo albums from Ray or Dave to fill the void amidst perpetual rumors of a reunion. In light of that, new Kinks music is rare. We've gotten a few unreleased bonus tracks here and there on remastered albums, and the 50th anniversary of Arthur, or the Decline and Fall of the British Empire brings us a new gem in the form of "The Future." It's a freaking do-wop song! It's a nifty number that has its charms, but it is easy to see why it didn't make the final album--the acapella harmonies simply don't fit with the sound of the rest of the album, even though the lyrics match the mood quite well. Fortunately, it's no longer unreleased. I wonder what other treasures remain hidden in the vaults?
