Jason Didner and the GSPs covered 'A Girl Like You' by The Smithereens ahead of our show at Crossroads in Garwood, NJ — a venue Pat DiNizio called home. The band took a moment to acknowledge it. Grateful. 🙏

Just registered for this, it's tonight, Jim and Dennis of The Smithereens will be talking about their debut record Especially for You at the 'Tuesday Night Record Club' that the Springsteen Archives does via Monmouth University in New Jersey. It's free and there's an in person and Zoom option (I obviously grabbed a Zoom ticket). I've talked here before about how much I love this record - this'll be cool to hear.

Today (October 31) in 1980, The Smithereens released their debut 4 song EP 'Girls About Town'. The four songs were also included on 'Attack of the Smithereens', one of their compilations. Great bunch of songs here. It didn't have them in a playlist on YouTube, so I made one.

The Smithereens anthology 'From Jersey it Came' was released in September 2004. In 2004 I was 24. The Smithereens had been my favorite band for a while at that point, so this was a treat for a megafan like me. If you ignore the roughness of their super early stuff here, this is a really good primer for some of the Smithereens' best songs. It starts off with ones from their early days like their first single "Girls About Town" and it also includes basically all their later hits, a Springsteen cover, and an INCREDIBLE instrumental version of their tune 'If You Want the Sun to Shine'. The version of the song with vocals is killer, but without them is SO wild. Powerful orchestration and arrangement: https://youtu.be/e9-2KtmHpwc

Episode two hundred and eighty-three is up now! Today's song is Glimpse of Us by Joji.
I discuss the song's depressingly relatable lyrics, and the unfortunate real life tragedy that inspired the original idea for the song.

Seven years ago today, we lost a legend.
(This post is heavily paraphrased from one I wrote a year ago, so if we've been following each other a while, you might recognize the story - this is mostly for the newbies!)
So, here's a bit of a long post/story.
Despite all the weird music I like/listen to, my favorite band will always will be The Smithereens. They play killer British Invasion (and Sabbath/Beach Boys)-inspired rock. Pat DiNizio had the BEST voice and was an INCREDIBLE songwriter, and he passed away today (December 12) in 2017. It still hurts. I was crushed then, and he is still so missed. The Smithereens still tour with other musicians filling in on vocals, just for fun and always in Pat's honor, as he wrote a vast majority of their songs.
So here's the long (but kinda cool/funny) story about Pat, The Smithereens, and one of their biggest hits, "A Girl Like You" (video at the end of this long post!)
I actually got to meet Pat once. He was doing solo acoustic shows across the U.S. and he came to Miami to play Tobacco Road. After his AWESOME solo set (seriously, the guy could play AND sing) I went up to talk to him, my idol, my favorite songwriter ever.
You know how they say never meet your heroes? Pat was a different breed. His songs are all pretty much beautiful or badass love songs, very tight and tidy, great for radio, but the guy goes 'yeah, let's talk, but I gotta take a piss. Come in the bathroom real quick. He's standing there, pissing, and he has the foulest mouth, it's hilarious. He's like fuckin this and that, just the nicest, coolest, funniest down to Earth guy. I was blown away.
Maybe a year later or something, I went to go see The Smithereens live at a festival with my sister. They did a lot of those. (I saw them a total of like, 4 or 5 times I think.)
My sister and I are down in the crowd, and I tell her 'I'm gonna wave at him, I met him recently, maybe he'll recognize me'. And she goes, 'maybe, but I doubt it'. I wave, Pat INSTANTLY recognizes me from stage, and points down at me, and smiles. The man was a LEGEND.
So here's maybe one of their biggest hit songs, "A Girl Like You" (another big one of theirs is "Blood and Roses"). You might recognize one, or both.
The story with "A Girl Like You" is that it was written for the soundtrack to the movie Say Anything (with John Cusack, one of my favorite movies) - but the people doing the movie thought it gave away too much of the plot, so it wasn't included.
Joke was on them though, it became one of the Smithereens' biggest songs.
I'm such a huge fan. I have vinyls, press kits, I adore this band. If you've read this far, you're amazing.
And if you've never heard them, you're in for a treat:

20 years ago today on September 7, 2004, my favorite band The Smithereens released this killer 2 CD set of some of their best songs. I was 24 and I bought it then despite having most of these songs from their records. And still have my copy, I just found it in my old CD book.
Definitely worth a listen, this has some classics and also some interesting covers - and you KNOW those Smithereens boys love (and are great at) covers, just as their inspirations the Beatles were before them.
RIP Pat DiNizio, one of the nicest, realest dudes I ever met. Looks like I'll be listening to some Smithereens this next week.

Today's vinyl arrival - been eyeing this one for a while. One of my favorite songs from my favorite band, circa 1988. And with a (killer) Who cover on the b-side! Wasn't pricey, but just never jumped before. Plus, this copy is minty! 🔥

Going through some boxes and came across this setlist from when The Smithereens played at our college. A friend interviewed them right after the show for the radio station. I asked her to get them to sign my CD, and she came back with the setlist as well.
She found me at the time and said the band wanted to meet me. I had volunteered to help with show tear-down; there wasn’t anyone I could ask to beg off, and I couldn’t just abandon the stuff and walk away. It hurt. :) #Smithereens #SetList

I heard @Kitty's #TuneTuesday was #BreakUpOrMakeUp and one song sprang to mind instantly.
"Room Without a View" is an awesome Smithereens song (the vocals, melody, bassline! 🤯) and I found this GREAT fan-made video for it that really sums up the whole thing.

This week's #ThursdayFiveList is #TheSleep and the first three here all have the same title - the Static-X one is a GREAT cover of the Sabbath one. The Smithereens one is a different song (but still great, they were big Sabbath fans too - their song was definitely a nod):

#Smithereens lead singer/guitarist #PatDiNizio left us way too soon; the band has continued on with different vocalists, but to me, it’s just not the same.

The prompt is #Alone#TheSmithereens “Alone at Midnight” from "Especially for You,"1986
#Smithereens never hid their influences, #BritishInvasion #PowerPop especially early #Kinks and #TheWho, but their music never sounds dated; the standout track “Blood and Roses” was regarded as so cool and modern upon its release, it was used to great effect in an otherwise-wordless opening scene of an episode of #MiamiVice. (Move over, #PhilCollins.)
There’s a luminous quality to #PatDiNizio’s vocals - I hear a little #MickeyDolenz, a little #BobMould (which is not a bad delineation of their musical territory), but uniquely his own; Mike Mesaros’s #BassLines offer countermelodies. An occasional dash of #tambourine with the solid drumming adds some #60s energy, their chord progressions both hint at and evoke yearning, and of course there are those jangling/biting guitars. These elements all come together on “Alone at Midnight.”
