The Smiths
I always like to think that I’m the one who influences my brother’s taste in everything, because, you know I’m older and everything, and the older brother is always cooler…
However, thanks to James I’ve now become a masive Smiths (and Morrisey) fan.
It all started with James playing me some songs and showing me Morrisey live in concert on a DVD he has, and next thing I’m buying songs off iTunes, and then as I’m walking through Newtown the other day there was heaps of CDs on sale at SO Music for $10.00 (which is the maximum I like to pay for CDs these days, and iTunes can’t beat that!), low and behold there was a couple of Smiths CDs on the table and so I got “The Queen is Dead” album and have been listening to it non stop ever since…
I also got “They might be giants – A user’s guide”, “The best of the cure”, “Midnight Oil – greatest hits”, and “Gnarles Barkley – St. Eleswhere”, all for $9.95 each!! Woohoo!
I’m even thinking of going back to get the other Smiths albums there on sale, but the credit card is near meltdown this time of year…

That’s my favourite Smiths album – I love “There is a light that never goes out” and “Cemetary Gates”.

The Smiths rule! If There’s one band I like to see reunite it’s them although I do love Morrissey’s solo stuff as well
