RIP Karl Wallinger (World Party)

A great songwriter. ‘Ship of Fools’ is still a banger.

Always had a soft spot for this.

One of the first bands I got into. Remember my brother getting the cassette of Goodbye Jumbo and I used to pore over the lyric sheet. Way Down Now and Message in the Box are both great.

The next one (Bang) was pretty good but I was starting to develop my own taste then and moved on from it quickly, but still absolutely loved Is It Like Today.

Great songwriter imho. RIP
