  2. When your mind's on a musical loop.

    Today: The Smiths.

    #Music #TheSmiths

  3. Sometimes I feel like listening to the Smiths but then I remember Morrissey and I don't.

    Then I listen to Alvvays instead. The tunes and playing are just as good, and Molly Rankin is a lyricist in Morrissey's vein (fun and cleverly, brutally acerbic) without the misogyny and the racism. Which is kinda nice.

    This is a perfect put-down song. Among many. If I can help just one recovering Smiths fan... #thesmiths #alvvays #postpunk #music #genx #lyrics youtube.com/watch?v=kkoOvLYr0Pk

  4. “Meat is Murder” is a great song about the reality of modern food. BUT b/c Morrisey is a major POS here’s Johnny Marr performing it with his longtime friends Chrissie Hynde and The Pretenders (youtu.be/cbO7rNAedXY?si=YlfqMo

  5. This gave me one huge smile! Whatever happens between now and the end of the season, at this moment in time it's never been so apt!

    I'm not so much into it but my girl is and I have to admit: The more I hear it, the more I'm totally baffled about how actually GOOD this song is:

    Brigitte Calls Me Baby: Slumber Party

    If you are in early 2000s British Pop like Franz Ferdinand, Star Sailor and the likes, this definitely should get your attention.

    https://brigittecallsmebaby.bandcamp.com/track/slumber-party

    The funny thing is: Brigitte Calls Me Baby started out as a "The Smiths" soundalike band. Now we know how this all went with The Smiths. While Johnny Marr still is a chilled, down to earth guy, yet incredibly skilled as a guitarist and composer... the face of the Smiths, Morrissey, is not - actually quite the opposite: A bitter diva with rightwing views.
    Now I think, as a "The Smiths soundalike" project you gotta take sides! And in this regards it's important to know, that The Cure's front man Robert Smith is and was never impressed by Morrissey, totally not (as his former band mate Siouxsie Sioux), and he publicly stated this multiple times.

    So it's quite funny and also a bold statement, to find a large citation of The Cure's "Close to me" in this song.

    On top of that Brigitte Calls me Baby is starting to emancipate themselves from sounding like a Smiths cover band, but doing their own thing now. Good!

  8. THE SMITHS
    Louder Than Bombs
    2011 Europe 2xLP reissue

    When you’re in the mood for a sad, mopey bastard with his shirt open…
    there can only be one choice.

    Louder Than Bombs was the second Smiths album I ever heard, and the first of theirs that I bought with my own money.

    After stealing my older sister’s boyfriend’s cassette copy of The Queen Is Dead (and having my mind blown), I then set out to find as many Smiths albums I could find.
    My local Good Vibrations had the CD version of this, and Strangeways, Meat Is Murder, and the self-titled soon found their way into my collection.

    Johnny Marr remains one of my all-time guitar heroes. And even though Morrissey grew up to be one of the douchiest twats of all time, my love for this band will never waiver.

    One of the best compilations of a band’s work, PERIOD.

  20. The Smiths, Hatful of Hollow, 1984 on Rough Trade

    Another (like The World Won’t Listen) compilation album from The Smiths, including some BBC sessions plus other singles and B-sides. Came out in 1984 in the UK but was not released until 1993 in the US (instead Sire released Louder than Bombs for the US market).

    This LP includes “How Soon is Now?” as the b-side to “William, It Was Really Nothing” – the track was also on US editions of Meat is Murder. Also includes “Please Please Please Let Me Get What I Want” which was also on the William single b-side.

    My copy, via Crossroads Records in Portland OR, is a 2011 reissue by Rhino on Sire labels, pressed at Rainbo.

  21. “… Oh mother, I can feel
    The soil falling over my head
    See, the sea wants to take me
    The knife wants to slit me
    Do you think you can help me?”

  22. The Smiths, The Queen is Dead, 1986 on Rough Trade

    Third studio LP from The Smiths, following Meat is Murder. This might have been the first Smiths LP I had, with “Frankly, Mr. Shankly,” “Cemetry Gates,” and “Bigmouth Strikes Again” permanently etched in my brain.

    Love the Salford Lads Club photo from the inside of the gatefold.

    My copy—via Crossroads Music in Portland OR—is a 2012 European reissue which doesn’t particularly name a label, though the copyright is to Warner Music UK Limited.
