I appreciate the urgency of the sound.

 

[terrancestamp]

Like the vocal and rawness of the track

 

[Pokey]

Throw this one in the huge pile of awful Smiths/Morrissey covers. Seriously, so few are even half way decent.

 

[troubled.Joe]

Why do they even try?

Why do they even try?

That's what I thought when I heard the first notes of Patti Smith covering "When Doves Cry." Had to sprint and turn the radio off.
I reckon 99.9 of covers are utterly pointless. I mean if you're a cover band fair enough, you can't help it, but why ruin a song that people love otherwise?
Hey! Singers! Leave the songs alone!

Looks like Patti is not that smart (well she's mates with Morrissey, after all )

Does Kylie f.cking cover Joy Division?

I am listening to Patti Smith covering "When Doves Cry" now and it's not bad, but I'd like it better if I wasn't aware of the classic original. Prince would say "take a bath, hippie!"

The cover art is either a nod to or rip off of:

No, no, no and, no...

And that pile is growing bigger all the time and this fey lightweight crap makes me want to set fire to it right away.

I can still hear him!

Poor Patt. It's really not her day. I also have no interest in hearing her read "the Ballad of Reading Twang". Even if the perk to that trial was to be locked in a very small cell with a zoophilous, I'd pass.

I mean if she was anything like an overweight gay Irish man, Morrissey would have told us by now.

And precisely, why didn't they ask him? Did they assume that since he couldn't write very well, he couldn't read aloud very well either?

 

[devout]

It's easy to say that's utter shit.

 

[Anonymous]

Well they look cute. Like idealistic belle and Sebastian fans

 

[TheBoyWithTheDragonTattoo]

What did Belle and Sebastian ever do to any of you guys to make you drag their good name into this??

 

[ACTON]

Even the photo is pure shit. That one on the couch looks like the hag from the bath in The Shining. Yuuugh I feel sick. I'd sooner get it on with a mouse trap (with a rat stuck in it). I'd say the guy is dead. I hope he is for his sake.

They invented twee cuteness right. No I just kid but I do think of idealistic cute scenes like blonde girls with those types of haircuts dressed in pastels yellows and blues etc. for some reason I think stereotypical twee Swedish people. I don't know why. They also released storytelling so I'm still a bit mad I guess.

Yeah i guess you're right though. These hags had better get prettier or not show they're face at all. I mean come on what's the point

The good thing about living in the US is having no idea what Belle and Sebastian is, or The Divine Comedy, either, and not caring.

The Divine Comedy isn't a bad band at all. They have some cracking songs. 'The Summerhouse' in probably my favourite:

 

[TheBoyWithTheDragonTattoo]

Calamine... I live in the U.S. and Belle and Sebastian and The Divine Comedy are two of my favorite bands next to The Smiths. Neil Hannon (The Divine Comedy) is capable of writing lyrics every bit as good as Morrissey's. I agree Belle and Sebastian are annoyingly twee at times but when they're firing on all cylinders they're great. I always thought Neil Hannon would've made a great Jack Skellington on Broadway!

...the girl in that photo is a pumpkin pie hair cutted freak to be sure.
