    The Libertines are The Smiths of the early 2000s thanks to Pete Doherty's lyrics.

    Even though there are sharper lyrical examples here this one shows how singular The Libertines were and are:

    'Monkey asked to the mouse before
    If she loved anybody more than he
    Turns you into stone
    Now I'm reversing down the lonely street
    Cheap hotel where I can meet the past
    Pay it off and keep it sweet
    (aw) It's sweet and it's nothing, no
    It's just like nothing at all'

    'Up the Bracket' is a brilliant debut album.

  3. Und wenn man die inbrünstig vorgetragene Textsicherheit der Fans (alte Knacker und junge Leute) bei den Doppeldeckerbussen und Zehn-Tonnen-Lastern erlebt, wird klar, welche Karriere die Smiths am Ende hingeworfen haben, die heute als Headliner Stadien füllen würden. #sentimentaljourney #TheSmiths #RickAstley

  4. 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

  5. The Smiths, Strangeways Here We Come, 1987 on Rough Trade.

    Fourth (and final) studio album from The Smiths, produced by Stephen Street, Morrissey, and Johnny Marr and recorded at The Wool Hall in Beckington, Somerset. On constant repeat in my late 80s experience.

    Strangeways was a prison in Manchester (now Manchester Prison) – The Smiths had previously used the Salford Lad’s Club for the cover of The Queen is Dead.

    My copy—via A1 Records in NYC—is the 2009 Rhino reissue which sounds great (though I don’t have an 80s pressing to compare it to).
