I'm assuming there's a fair few Smiths fans here, so I was wondering what the verdict on "You Are The Quarry" is? ... having lived with "Quarry ..." for a few...
Yeah, I'd read a good review of the new Mag Fields ... But since you've just given us your critique of the new Mozza, I must ask whether you have any...
If by gimmick you mean a trick used to sell more records, you have him all wrong. It might be self-indulgent but that's the point. Not all of the songs are...
No, I did not mean "gimmick" in the commercial sense. Frankly, I was just repeating the term the critic had used. I do think that it's an appropriate use of...
I was also profoundly disappointed in the Moz record - I've been a fan for years, but I'd put this one down with "Maladjusted". The music is thoroughly...
Personally, I think giving songs names in the first place is a gimmick just to get you interested in hearing them. Lyrics, too. In fact, all of music is just a...
Does anyone here have a good compilation CD of early Postcard records? or know where i might buy one? py ... Yahoo! Messenger - Communicate instantly..."Ping"...
By "early Postcard" I assume you mean the Orange Juice, Aztec Camera, Go-Betweens and Josef K singles? Annoyingly there isn;t such a comprehensive compilation....
It's a shame those Aztec Camera tracks aren't freely available. Mattress of Wire is a particularly great record. I had those two singles when they were...
I think I agree with you here Lawrence. There's a couple of great tunes but a few too many weaker tracks that seem like filler. And some of the lyrics seem a...
Talking about Morrissey, here's a quote from his interview in i-D Magazine May 2004: (They're talking about early 80's music) i-D: (...) And there was a very...
I hope I haven't said this here before: I recall at the very beginning of the Smiths' rise to prominence a strong feeling amongst some people that The Smiths...
... it's also worth remembering that (at least in my understanding) Morrissey was pretty ... If you read about The Smiths, it's pretty clear that the above is,...
I did read about the Smiths- that's where I got that impression, though on further reflection I admit that the process I was reading about was happening right...
Yes, I think what it comes down to is that Morrissey seems to be rather mercurial in nature, and, on occasion - as you alluded to - sat out certain parts of...
the smiths played in d.c. in summer 85 and summer 86. first time was truly great -- they played every song half again as fast as it was on the record -- sort...

Hi Folks, Just a quick note to let everyone know about the line up for the July 10th Deportees Club, we've managed to confirm some fantastic guests for what...
I saw Amy Rigby last year here in Austin & she was great. I would suggest you go! Yeah,kinda a female Elvis Costello or Edwyn Collins. Very clever songwriting....
