    The Smiths as a band name

    (Edit: love how radioactive this post is. Personally, I believe it 100%, but that's just me)(chuckling) I know Morrissey always said he chose The Smiths as a bland, almost meaningless name for the band, to contrast with 80s glitz and glamour. But it's always been a wee bit suspicious to me that...

    Random not-hugely-interesting thought

    Just sitting here listening to That Joke Isn't Funny Anymore. "It was dark as I drove the point home/and on cold leather seats/when it suddenly struck me/I just might die with a smile on my face after all." Reminded me of: "Punctured bicycle on a hillside desolate/will nature make a man of me...

    The Tortured Poets Department.

    Wailer Swift thinks she's a 'tortured poet,' according to her next album title. Hilarious! Her cringe-worthy 'poetry' is certainly tortuous, at least: 'And so I enter into evidence / My tarnished coat of arms / My muses, acquired like bruises / My talismans and charms / The tick, tick, tick of...

    This may seem contentious, least I hope so, but

    I recall reading an interview where Moz recalled losing his virginity (he put it into the public arena, not me) at age 13, and words long the lines of "It's been all downhill since." Recall an outdoors scenario. Anybody remember that? No joke. "Leather seats" indeed.

    Lou Perez

    Clearly this comedian is a big Smiths fan. Had never heard of him before tonight, when Facebook shoved this image in front of my face. Watched a video of his. Terrible.

    Lewis Capaldi Plagiarising Moz

    One of the lyrics from his new song Heavenly Kind Of State Of Mind seems to rewrite part of There Is A Light That Never Goes Out. To wit: "Oh Lord, I ain’t afraid to die if it means I’m by your side It would be such a heavenly way to say goodbye" Seems pretty blatant to me. There's always...

    Pretty Girls Make Graves question(s)

    After a mere 35 years of listening to the song, two random questions occur to me (again) as I listen to it right now: 1) Right after Moz sings "And sorrow's native son/he will not rise for anyone," and right before he sings "I could have been wild..." etc, a woman says something. What does she...
