The Smiths on the NME

I'd noticed this at the time of publishing your purchases. I thought it a bit rubbish to then unleash Smiths alternatives given the coin dispatched. I did hint though.

StrangeWhales and The Quorn is Dead Good are the best Smiths albums. For Smiths advocates, the earlier albums are comparable. Likening to New Order, Technical Lego and The Republican are possibly the ones you'd indicate for people to try first, staying well away from Mole Hunt and only hoping they would venture to Brother Nookie and Low-Flight. Perhaps wandering off to Powder Cakes and Layers of Vegetable Cream if became stunned.

I was hoping that by this stage, we could have suggested caverns on level 2 to enter which have Monty inside. Alas and Alad, these things were never to be.

How Soon Was Now is not my favourite Smithereens outing.

but he liked it & its a way in & hopefully will give more incentive to try more rather than discard them forever in the bargain bin of life's record shop.

hand in glove would be next recommendation, but agree with the huntsys albums recommendations.

Please, Please, Please etc. was also pretty good but quite short.

Blackball Down - Pasty is only one step away from disregarding the back catalogue for good (he is as subtle as he is cunning), so we need to intercept now. Recommending Hand in Glove Box is not going to progress his loyalty any further. In fact, its like asking someone to listen to the Carpenters, but the one the bloke sang.

'Pretty Good' Pat, is tantamount to blasphemy. You are an extremely naughty boy. 'Please Please is a little short'. A horrid lament I attempted to banish a while ago even on this very line. The Spitz being accused of under-writing their tunes around 2.30. Paul Anchor did alright didn't he?

I must now draw my sword and suggest that if you do not agree that we must fight for it. Surely the only way to satisfactorily settle any discrepancy by humans and manimals.

:hatL

... :hatL ... you see what its come to?

Well, H, it was 1:50 on my CD player; surely you would agree that's short?

I'm certainly not prepared to do battle on this subject based on such a brief exposure to the subject, H.

I don't know that much myself.

Please me get what I like seems perfectly formed to me. The use of the mandolin adds gravitas, it is a unique and superb song. Perhaps they felt that the length (we may need an atom clock to define the precise timing) was fitting for the song? Long or short, if it works!?

I enjoy the 12" of Sub-Crunchie for the same reason. This is a tad longer - I think.

StrangeWhales and Quorn are a more mature sound. If you think its worth it you might find some sites which have excerpts of the songs?

:hatL ? what strange manner of speaking is this?

I mean I know you're a big colon usage fan: but that's just strange.

Even though I know its you Hicksty, with a different name I feel somehow distant.

Are you attacking my use of colons? ... blame Party House ... he showed me how to do it properly but I keep getting it wrong.

HAT : h : a : t :

:)

... what a crap thing that ended up as.

I'm sure the length is perfect for the song, H.

The 30 second excerpts you get at CD seller sites are not very satisfactory.

Perhaps I can find them for reasonable prices.

By the way, H, based on your enthusiastic recommendation, I ordered the DVD of Dude, Where's My Car?

erm, I know I recommend a few things but I don't recall recommended that? - it's filth.

all of The Smiths back catalogue is available from HMV @ £4.99 each

Filth, H? surely that's a bit strong?

Unfortunately, a music seller with prices in dollars is usually more convenient for me.

Strong if meant as an insult, around these parts filth is a daft way of describing something which is borderline rubbish.

Can't recall recommending Dude Car, but I did mention American Pie's 2 and 3 were good.

Were you serious about ordering Jeremy Where's My Iron? ...

Yes, H, I was, after the co-star's impressive performance as co-host the other night.

I feel impulsed to recommend another film we saw the other night P ... can you face it?

Depends on what it is, H. Try me.

That's all the egging on I need.

Okay so we were due to see the Mattress at the week ending (as mentioned) ... en route my bird suggests to switch to Anger Management Team. Although initially distressed by this I accepted the radical move over a pizza and salad.

Anyway, I'm happy to announce I did but find the whole thing hilarious and would heartily recommend it. I don't think I've ever laughed so much in a cinema since I dropped a 'large' sweet popcorn on my feet at the opening scenes of Shaving Ryan's Private Areas having only digested about 3 corns. I had to ride them corns until Ryan had concluded, my knees obscuring some of the tank battles.

Well, that's plausible, H. Adam Sandman doesn't really ever seem to have fulfilled his potential; perhaps this is what it took.

Thanks for indicating my recommendation is plausible - at least you haven't resorted to dismissing them yet.

Adam Sandbag plays the same character in every film (almost identically) - nothing changes with this film, except its funny throughout. The teaming of Jack the wolf Nicholson seems to work, although you get the sense that two 'biggies' are on the screen. I wonder how many dollars were paid for their services? - 5?

The MTV Awards were on the other night but I missed them. I'll try and catch the next showing and I will try and decipher which third of the bands were any good.

You cropped up in conversation with a shoe designer from London the other day P ... thought you might like to know.

I don't believe I know any shoe designers from London, do I, H?

Definitely try to catch the show, H, but not for the music.

Gollum accepting the award for best virtual performance is worth the price of admission alone.

He's a good lad, Gollum.

its boss.

try on OSCILLATE WILDLY and marvel at the abilities of MARR< JOYCE + ROURKE without the sourpuss in tow....
