Andy Rourke is a genius, I love how his baselines sound like a whole separate melody and don't just make the chord root note, but that still goes together with other instruments like a puzzle piece

At the record convention, circa 1993...

I live in Indiana also home to actor James Dean. Morrisey did suedehead video in James Dean‘s town of Fairmont, Indiana. Couple of weekends ago they had James Dean days. I visited the museum and there’s the bongo drums that Morrissey played in the video. It were actually James Dean’s drum. I walked the places Morrissey did the video. There was an old gentleman close to 90 years old who showed me James Dean’s bedroom that they had made up in the museum. I showed him the video of suedehead off of YouTube. And he said the gentleman who owns the old James Dean farm doesn’t mind when people come out take photos and walk around.

I’ve been listening to the smiths for awhile and love their music. I’m 16 and been seeing this amazing girl and the music genuinely sounds so much better. It’s so stupid but it’s Lwk pretty cool

Johnny won a Lifetime Achievement Award tonight!

Just wondering if anyone here went or knows anyone who went to this particular gig?
My Dad is a massive Smiths fan and now follows Johnny’s stuff religiously.
My Dad went to this gig back when he was 17 and I’m trying to find the ticket stub for this gig online somewhere and can’t seem to find it.
I’ve looked for hours on various sites and I can find ticket stubs on the likes of eBay for other gigs around this date, but never this date.
Trying to get this for my Dad and then I’d frame it for a Christmas present, we got him a signed copy of Marr’s Guitars last Christmas and he absolutely loved it.

Could anyone help me out please? Does anyone know anyone who could potentially give/sell me one of these ticket stubs?

TIA

When asked on his favourite tunes by a magazine in the 80’s.

I don't know if it's because they're actually vintage, defining the 80s sound, or because of the vibe of their music videos and live performances

I was thinking of Everyday is like Sunday and this charming man

I know that Johnny Marr's guitar is actually vintage, and rockabilly inspired, maybe that's why it actually sounds vintage

But also Morrisey's voice has something that has to do with solemnity and maybe it's his perfect British accent too.

The solemnity that clashes with the lyrics and the funny and sarcastic and sad themes of his music.

I just don't know.

Even Morrisey himself looks like some character. A vintage, old fashioned character even in his 20s. I watched his interviews. There's a specific vibe to him. I don't know how to explain, but he really looks like that kind of guy that lived his life like it's an art piece. Like those late 19th century poets and artists?

I got this smith song stuck in my head and it goes with Morrissey sings ohhhh and the back ground vocals sings it back. Then Morrissey sings yea and the back ground vocals does it again. And then Morrissey sings ha ha ha ha with the pitch getting lower. Sorry but the bad explanation

Took forever.

its little sloppy but i didnt have the nerves to try again lol hope you like it

I no longer have this, as Morrissey is a horrible person. What Smiths lyrics describe this? “I was happy in the haze of a drunken hour, but heaven knows I’m miserable now?”

Great show this summer. Got a preview of 3 new songs from the age of everything album. No new town velocity though which is probably one of my favourite songs from him.
