    A Short Smiths Quiz

    Hello! I thought I'd spend some of my Saturday evening making a quiz for you. I think they're quite tricky so see how you get on. If you want to reply then perhaps use the inline spoiler function so that other people can guess if they want. It looks like this. Here we go! Question 1. Who's...

    The Queen Is Dead - Isolated Stems

    Hello! I stumbled across a piece of software called Demucs, which does a surprisingly good job of separating isolated stems from MP3s. I fed it The Queen Is Dead and thought I'd share the results with anyone interested. You can find them here. Here's a sample. Not sure why Johnny's guitar gets...

    Cassette bootleg collection

    As such collections go, this is a good one. If I had a bit more time or energy I'd carefully check for recordings that I don't have. Currently for sale.

    Very early Smiths gigs

    I've found a couple of Smiths gigs referenced that don't show up on any official history. The first is this one describing their second ever gig in November 1982. I'm unsure where the Portland Hotel is. Maybe here? The second is this one which was a gig Johnny remembers well sometime mid-1983...

    Apple Spatial Audio with Dolby Atmos?

    Despite preferring FLAC to MP3 I'm not an audiophile, but I wondered whether Apple had released anything interesting when launching their new fancy-pants Apple Music? I hear a few people have access to it now.

    Tape trading in 1989

    I was clearing out an old box today and found this letter from 1989 and it reminded me what collecting Smiths rarities was like at that time. I had heard that a friend of a friend of a friend was a Smiths collector and got his address. I sent a letter asking what he had and he replied with this...

    Bassist Guy Pratt on the time he nearly joined the Smiths - Rolling Stone

    From Rolling Stone. Right around that same time, you nearly wound up touring in the Smiths. How did that happen? This whole five year period was just f***in’ nuts. By that time, I was working with Bryan Ferry. Myself and [guitarist] Chester Kamen were kind of like his little sorcerer’s...

    Hulmerist - Sister I'm a Poet Comparison

    I found a video I made a few years ago, comparing the original Hulmerist video from a pro-shot bootleg posted by TicTac. Not anything to stop traffic about, but also not a bad use of 2 minutes and 20 seconds of your time.

    Smiths Archive

    Hello! I’d like to share my large Smiths collection with you. In the 1990s I found a bootleg of The Smiths at a local record fair. I was amazed that there were live recordings of my favourite band. It was before the internet so until that day all I knew of were the albums in the record stores...

    Smiths booking - £1,000 + 80% after recoup

    Just clearing out a hard drive. It feels like a pretty good deal to book The Smiths, but that's what happens when you go back in time 35 years. With a £3 ticket price I wonder if they'd recoup the £2,850 for that gig in The Tower Ballroom in Birmingham? Ah well, a bit of pocket money for the...

    Smiths Hard Drive Tour via copy.com (free)

    I run smithstorrents, which has lot of great Smiths recordings. All that are in circulation I think. In the past I've sent a hard drive through the posts because I know 300GB is a lot to download and I know that a lot of people don't like torrents. I came up with another plan using copy.com...

    Glastonbury 2011 Audio - iPlayer Version

    I downloaded the iPlayer stream of Glastonbury and pulled out the audio. It's in AAC format, which might be a bit funky for people, but that's how the BBC encode it. I also have the full iPlayer video stream, which is great, but it's 640MB and my connection to smithstorrents seems to have just...
