On the back of the A-Z project which some of us enjoyed during 2021 (and in the possible continued absence of new music / shows to discuss), I'd like to get the Smiths A-Z up and running in the first week of 2022. A couple of quick questions before we start:
1. Instead of posting a song every day, I thought maybe every other day might work better this time? (Partly for my sanity, partly as it might give more people the chance to comment before the discussions move on. Any thoughts?)
2. My plan is to use this list of 73 songs, but are there any other snippets/rarities anyone thinks should be added to the list?
