i was just watching the pictures of you video and admiring how robert e smith looks like a mental patient with the same anti-depressant bloat. im very fond of his band
 

woops

is not like other people
did you knew? that morrissey used to write fan letters, to mark e. smith and mark e. believed, that the smith's were named after him.

the cure are a better band. the songs are better. of course they are better. but there are good reasons for voting for the wrong band.

you only need to listen to the first 10 seconds which sample "how soon is now" - the rest is shit, just like the Smiths version

the Soho post was me pissing about, but (IMHO) the only decent thing the Smiths did was the first few bars of "How Soon is Now' before that dick starts caterwauling over a sublime guitar riff

i like the fact that he tries to really sing. this is almost unprecendented in the indie world. i dont generally like northerners but this is something i respect and appreciate. the phrasing is all over the place but hes trying

and the lyrics clank from the ridiculous to the sublime and back again which i also sort of like

as a young person of 42 i can only defer to you here

argh - I've done a "version"!

edit: for context, I may have argued that the Smiths appeal was based on the "fuckability" of the junky bassist

edit: meaning that Morrissey was superfluous to the whole affair, the trendy girls only wanted to fuck the Joyce guy who didn't get any royalties...
