The Smiths- There Is A Light That Never Goes Out

 

I've always liked the Smiths, but only from afar. Just the popular singles, How Soon Is Now, This Charming Man and that.

 

As I lay awake all night though Morrisey's foppish voice was constantly going through my head, so for the Metro in I hoyed on their John Peel Sessions. Normally I'd read and have music for background, but I never bothered today. Just luxuriated in the jangliness of Jonny Marr's guitar. I never saw the fuss over him, but it just seemed to click today. I've put Hatful Of Hollow straight on after which I've suddenly got with the program on and realise is fucking brilliant song after fucking brilliant song.

 

Think I'll have a Smiths day. Louder than Bombs and Meat is Murder to follow, then perhaps the singles.

Queen is Dead?

 

If you like jangly guitars, btw, I could fix you up with a lot of stuff. :razz:

Recommend away my good man.

 

The June Brides, Razorcuts, Man From Delmonte, Josef K (at a push), Orange Juice (of course), The Bat's 'Daddy's Highway' album, The Verlaines, Wolfhounds, The dB's, The Feelies, Go-Betweens, Grant McLennan's 'Fireboy' album, 10, 00 Maniacs.

 

There are probably more and also not all of the bands above are Smiths-esque. But they all jangle.

I bought some Orange Juice on that recommendation btw. Some people do listen to you. Not many, but some :razz:

 

The important ones do, yes. :razz:

 

What did you get? Did you like it? Very much recommend the June Brides if you did.

Satellite City & Tender Object are fantastic songs. I Can't Help Myself, too. Felicity as well. I assume they're all on it? I seem to recall it was a very good collection, that best of.

You should get hold of an album or two as well. There are some good songs still to hear. Or, see my N-O PM.
