Since I bought all of the Smiths albums on cassette *far too long ago*, I keep thinking of getting decent replacement copies of them on cd. It would be nice if the albums were all reissued nicely with the b-sides, etc. instead of forcing yet another illogical Best Of on the public.

I live in Canada, but my cousin is Adam Clayton. Now there's an over-rated band. Not to mention Daft Punk, you Punky-ass bitch!

The Smiths
These Things Take Time is, apparently, a Smiths documentary on Friday 8th November. It's on ITV but only in the Granada, Border and Tyne Tees regions
Don't know about other regions? buy the TV supplements in the Saturday/Sunday papers to check.

Also, either way, they're one of the gayest bands ever.

I thought that was the formula of the Smiths.. they have ever known for what reasons they have been into music arena. And I also am thinking same thoughts for Manics and the other leading combinations of British Pop. They have always shown the same point, from the direction of every groups own artistic catches and daily routine . So they wanted to show us how capital city could be alianated people by prisoned the person into money based relations, the objection of no-mistake, obeyance for survival and etc. which are not illustrated with the ' freedom of reality '. For these reasons The Smiths and others couldn't have been Punk ever, because i believe they show everyone how to survive as humans in big cities. So new ones are using their terminology as proggressing its argument by placing it to more positively speak-out platform, because new indie-pop generation has much comformitted lives through post-modernism but they (also we) have much complicated future problems. I am offering ' The Queen Is Dead ', to who can't be introduced with The Smiths. It should also be given a chance to Cocteu Twins, Bauhaus, Joy Division and all other post-punk voices of British Island .

It means his pop life (from my POV) is irreversibly impoverished as a result, but it allows all manner of other material through for him to enjoy without the contextual baggage that might put other people off.
I don't have a problem with him at all - he just doesn't experience pop music in anything like the same way I do.
