You know you're meant to bite and chew them don't you?

Really? No wonder! Could that be my problem with kielbasas and peeled cucumbers too?

Maybe I should like the Smiths more.

This is scientific truth.

You all are just too scared of embracing your inner gae flaming asexual.


Get with it. There's beauty in them there musicks.

I agree. I am man enough to embrace the gaeness of my inner 1987:



You can't see it here, but my hair (I had some once) extends about 4" off the skull.

that pic is awesome. the video for "stop if you think that you've heard this one before" shows a bunch of 20 year old Morissey look-a-likes riding bikes around Manchester. so you look like you're from that video but you need glasses. here's the vid: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yx6dHmYD ... 0stop%20me

I thought they were okay until today. I heard them coming from a different room. All I could hear were violins, tambourines, and xylophones. And crying. I swear I heard crying.

What song was that?

Pick a Smiths song, ANY Smiths song.

That's what it was.

God I fucking hate this band.

That's too bad you've never heard a Smiths song. Your revulsion towards something with which you're obviously unfamiliar is like that video by Nada Surf ("Popular") where the football players are all tough & hetero on the outside, but when shower time comes around, watch out! Soapy, huh!
Point being you'd probably love the band if you dropped the bullshit.

Dear Fuck-o,

If you would have read through the entire thread you would have noticed my post(s) stating that I HAVE, in fact, given the Smiths a chance(s) over the years but simply don't like them/don't get it.

I could probably name 20 or so Smiths songs (maybe even some of Morrissey's solo stuff) off of the top of my head because 1. I've actually listened to some of it BY CHOICE and 2. Regardless of the fact that I can't stand it I seem to hear it a lot thanks to friends and lousy barroom jukeboxes.

And I can't help but get the sense that you were one of the guys that got beat up by the closet-homosexual football players, because why the hell else would you bring up a Nada Surf video?

I can't drop the bullshit because I never picked it up.

Death to Morrissey.

Love,

Major

Could everyone get over themselves about this Smiths business? We all can agree on one thing: whether you think the Smiths are crap or not, you're ashamed that you've ever listened them.

Rhetorical question: Does Morrissey believe in the concept of the metaphor?

Oh, SM57...an affordable, consumer-grade, harsh-sounding microphone after my own heart.

I may be base-level and "harsh-sounding," but I know what Morrissey would do with me.
