  1. "Knives Out" is a song by the English rock band #Radiohead, released as the second single from their fifth album, #Amnesiac (2001). It features lyrics about cannibalism and guitars influenced by the #Smiths. Critics described "Knives Out" as one of the more conventional tracks on Amnesiac. It received positive reviews and reached number 13 on the #UKSinglesChart and number one on the #CanadianSinglesChart. The music video was directed by #MichelGondry.

  2. One day not too far in the future Morrissey will be gone, and someone will play this, as his depressing but appropriate epitaph.

  3. On a Smiths jag this weekend, these John Peel Session recordings off of Hatful of Hollow are so great with the much more spacious bass. But also we should all be listening to This Night Has Opened My Eyes more. So good. #music #smiths

  5. Sou fã devoto dos #Smiths e acreditei na conjunção dos astros que me permitiu poder assistir ao vivo em São Paulo o hoje xenófobo cantor e poeta de raro talento #Morrissey.

    O que não acreditei é que ele iria cancelar sua turnê pela América Latina pela QUARTA VEZ.

  7. I am a big fan of #thesmiths #smiths

    Yet, Johnny Marr-- the amazing guitarist has said of his heritage:

    "Marr has said that he does not consider himself English or British, saying, "Anyone who looks back on the past 30 years of my career will know that I've always described myself as Mancunian Irish. I was the first of my family to be born in England. I've never described myself as British or English. I'm either Mancunian or Mancunian Irish – that is a culture and a nationality that is a thing unto itself."

    This is really interesting to me -- I had never thought of "Mancunian Irish" as a potential identify -- and yet, if you listen to the accents, especially of people from Manchester or Liverpool. I suppose you can hear Irish. Especially Liverpool...

  8. "I seem to attract and be attracted to very willful, fascinating people."

    Happy 61st birthday to John Martin Marr, aka Johnny Marr born today 31st October 1963

  9. “A failure to respond led Marr to register the trademark himself. It was subsequently agreed with Morrissey’s lawyers that this trademark was held for the mutual benefit of Morrissey and Marr. As a gesture of goodwill, in January 2024, Marr signed an assignment of joint ownership to Morrissey. Execution of this document still requires Morrissey to sign.­­­­­­­­”

    Johnny Marr rubbishes Morrissey’s claim about Smiths trademark theguardian.com/music/2024/sep

    Lawyers for the guitarist say ownership was shared with former frontman, who has not yet signed legal papers. #trademark #copyright #music #Smiths

  10. Without Andy Rourke? Nigel Farage on guitar? Please please please, NO Smiths reunion. Johnny and Mike, just say no to this sad and desperate fantasy. Leave this kind of bollocks to the Oases of this world.

    Ég var bara að fatta að #BigfootStrikesAgain með #Smiths fjallar um heimilis/kynbundið ofbeldi og geranda sem upplifir sig sem píslarvott af því að það er búið að slaufa honum. #GirlfriendInAComa og #TheBoyWithTheThornInHisSide eru svo afbrigði af því sama.
    Var #Morrisey mikið að berja kærustuna sína á þessum tíma eða var hann bara #Woke á undan sinni samtíð?

  12. The number of bands that jumped up in The Smiths wake, although they could fake the jangle, they couldn’t replicate the propulsion behind it that made them a million times more danceable and dynamic than their indie peers. So long Rourkey, you got the wallflowers onto the dancefloor, and we all salute you for that. #rip #music #smiths #andyrourke
