THE SMITHEREENS
Green Thoughts
1988 Canada pressingFriday night fire 🔥 🔥🔥🔥!!!
Another band I learned about in the early #90s as a kid, by pilfering my older sister’s then-boyfriend’s cassette collection.
I was instantly taken by the guitars, the melodies, and the band’s catchy songcraft.
Don Dixon’s production is spot on here, too.
This album just SOUNDS great.No offense intended towards anybody, but one of maybe only a handful of good things to ever come from New Jersey.
Sorry/not sorry.
You know?
😂
You never have to wonder if someone’s from New Jersey.
They’ll always tell you before you do.

On this day (April 26) in 1994, my favorite band released one of my favorite albums. 'A Date with The Smithereens' features some incredible basslines, Lou Reed on two tracks, and the whole thing is a damn banger.
https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLP0IenmeCOtzOo7x_6-4rXQLabOz1xXMn&si=kEEcwhjWp_qsCIi4
At the time, my 14th birthday had just passed, I was getting even more into music, and 'A Date with The Smithereens' was MINDBLOWING then. And to me, it still hits. From the opening of 'War for My Mind' to lighter tracks to maybe one of my favorite songs of all time, 'Sleep the Night Away'. Over 30 years later, I still play this one regularly.
RIP original singer (and main songwriter) Pat DiNizio, and long live The Smithereens (who still perform and tour with other singers-- something I'm sure Pat would have loved).

The Smithereens, 11, 1989 on Enigma/Capitol
Third studio full-length from New Jersey’s own The Smithereens: Pat DiNizio, Jim Babjak, Dennis Diken, and Mike Mesaros. Belinda Carlisle guests on “Blue Period” and Maria Vidal adds background vocals on “A Girl Like You.”
Apparently the title is inspired by Spinal Tap and Ocean’s 11, but there are only 10 songs. These 10 go to 11? This is the same band that named a song “Especially For You” on their second album, after their first album was called Especially for You. I love all of them.
My copy—via the Worcester Record Riot—is a Speciality Pressing on Capital rainbow-edge labels from the 80s, with original inner liner.

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

Today (September 3) in 1991, the Smithereens released Blow Up. It's a very '90s album, with some interesting songs on this one. Kinda almost adult contemporary in spots. But still a ton of rock, and the unreal 'If You Want the Sun to Shine'- one of my favorite songs ever. There's an instrumental version of it that's truly wild.
