  10. "People who called the Smiths miserablist were wilfully ignoring what they actually sounded like, which was the opposite of despair, a kind of penetrating vivacity that obliterated the greyness its words described."

    Nah, they were just bloody miserable.

    And let's not talk about Morrissey.

  11. Bigmouth strums again: was Andy Burnham’s Smiths jam in Kyiv the perfect soundtrack to a Britain in freefall?
    By Zoe Williams

    The UK prime minister clearly still adores the band. Perhaps he’s attracted to songs about sham justice and murderous meat factories, shot through with nihilism and exquisite despair

  18. The bit that you skip #177: The Smiths – How Soon is Now?

    A song with a strange lifecycle. Originally a B-side to William it was really nothing, How Soon is Now? carved a place of its own on indie darlings and their mixtapes. A song that you could dance alone to, specially if you were as terminally shy as the narrator. Sonically, it’s a far stride from what The Smiths were peddling. Jangly guitars, tambourine, and a slightly distant mixing now were replaced by studio trickery, tremolos, and a slick production.

    Nothing wrong on both styles of The Smiths. They can coexist. The styles, not the band, though.

    Always feels weird how so many classic bands like Joy Division, The Beatles, and The Smiths had songs with major appeal that weren’t on albums. Sure, the US edition of Meat is Murder has How Soon is Now? but for the United Kingdom, it was there, sandwiched between William it was really nothing and Please, please, please let me get what I want (at least on the 12 inch edition).

    I was too young to “get” The Smiths when they were on radio. And to be honest, I think I was too much into The Cure or Depeche Mode to go for the poetic intimacy of The Smiths. What piqued my interest was Love Spit Love’s deft cover for The Craft, a movie almost all Gen Xer was attracted due to its cast and college radio friendly soundtrack.

    Then This is England had Clayhill’s heartwrenching cover of Please Please Please let me get what I want. Then I really paid attention to The Smiths. It finally sink to me its importance. I remember going a few times to The Cookie Club in Nottingham on the gothic night, seeing people happily dancing by themselves listening to great tracks and not a single time was How Soon is Now? spared from being on the playlist.

    I’ve mentioned before that you can accumulate a pile of “I’ll listen/read/watch later” stuff in your life and I know it’s unreasonable to believe you’ll be able to consume all of it. But start today, do a little bit. A page or two. An episode or two. Half an hour (or an act). A couple of songs. Never get stuck into a rut, listen to something new today, even if it was released decades ago. You won’t regret expanding your tastes.

  20. “… 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?”

  23. The Smiths, The World Won’t Listen, 1987 on Rough Trade

    This is a compilation album—the second of three—including singles and b-sides from 1985-1987. Most of these tracks also appear on Louder Than Bombs (a 2xLP), but two are different versions and two are edits.

    Fantastic collection of songs, including “Panic,” “Ask,” “Bigmouth Strikes Again,” “There Is a Light That Never Goes Out,” “That Joke Isn’t Funny Anymore,” and “You Just Haven’t Earned It Yet, Baby.”

    What teenager hasn’t felt “And I’ve got no right to take my place in the human race . . . “?

    My copy—via a record fair at Mill No. 5 in Lowell MA—is a UK issue from 1987, pressed by MPO. (Louder than Bombs was released in the US in lieu of this record, which was not released on vinyl in the US until the 2011 reissue series).

  24. Hoy descubrí este cover de «How Soon is Now?» de The Smiths hecho por una banda llamada Snake River Conspiracy, a quienes tampoco conocía. Me gustó harto, así que se va mi playlist de covers.

  25. I knew there must have been a reason that the first song I chose for #FridayRockShow today just happened to be #HowSoonIsNow by #TheSmiths

    Did I have a gut feeling about this? I'd not seen/heard any news site at all today... Was out all morning until at least 2pm.

    So here it is again
