Anyone remember the band Harvey Danger? They had the song "Flagpole Sitta" out a few years ago? Anyway, they're quite good. I had the pleasure of meeting their singer after a show a few years ago & speaking to him--he said The Smiths were a big influence for him. He sort of sports a Morrissey-esque hairdo (at least he used to). Anyway, Harvey Danger's new record King James Version will be in stores on Tuesday, and I've had the chance to hear it in advance. First off, it's quite good--give it a listen. Reason I'm writing in is b/c there are several Morrissey references ("I never got over Morrissey") and he mentions how "We hate it when our friends become successful". Just thought I'd mention it, b/c they're a good band, with a good sound, and some very witty, Moz-esque lyrics, and they're worth your time to check out.

Also does anyone care if morrissey is name dropped in the back of a magazine? Or on a game show? How about keeping the Morrissey new to Morrissey himself.

anyone can listen to morrissey and call him an influence - you, i, or anyone else. but only a few can actually take that influence and mix it in with their efforts to create something good and worth listening to...people like stephin merritt, for example.
harvey danger is not a part of that few.

Harvey Danger's first CD was not all like "Flagpole Sitta," which possibly would have made them a "joke" band. That was just the single, and it was overplayed. The rest of the album was creative, sometimes funny and always good. Besides, the guy who posted this in the beginning obviously likes them, so why must everyone insult him?
And I, for one, do like hearing what musicians were influenced by whom.

Sick of hearing who influenced who? (Score:2, Insightful)
On the subject of bands/musicians not sounding like Morrissey/The Smiths if they were influenced by him/them, I think it would be pretty unoriginal if a band sounded like him/them. It's easy to reproduce something, but it takes talent and sophistication to take that and incorporate it into their own style(s).

At least Harvey Danger release new records, which is more than I can say for the Mozzer. I for one am tired of the never ending reissues and compilations. Step up to the plate and get in the studio Moz!
