How Soon Is Now

Accect Yourself is my fav track

I really don't like that lyric

None of them. That album is garbage.

So I guess "The Smiths" used to be a popular "jangle-pop" band. Apparently "jangle-pop" is not Iggy Pop's failed mentally challenged brother, but rather, some sort of "music genre" that seems to mean rock music that DOESN'T ROCK. Naturally by making rock music stupid and horrible, The Smiths baited lots of intellectual frauds who wear scarves into declaring that they were saving the genre from itself--you see it every decade or so with every kind of music, but The Smiths are one of the bands whose influence never really fell into the trash heap in which it belongs. Everything The Stooges did right, The Smiths did wrong. This band is everything wrong with modern "men." It's music for people who expect everything in life to be handed to them and who think miserablism and ennui are fashion accessories.

I can smell Morrissey's breath when I hear him sing. His lyrics are what happens when a British guy tricks himself into thinking he's witty by default by virtue of his Britishness--so, we get lots of awkward Oscar Wilde-imitating dryness and single-entendres that make AC/DC seem Shakespearean in comparison. Funny, by the way, how Smiths fans tend to look down on AC/DC and that ilk as disposable macho stadium rock when half of The Smiths' songs seem to be about how Morrissey thinks someone owes him sex. I guess that sentiment somehow becomes less demeaning and troublesome when mixed with a bit of gender confusion and then moaned effeminately like Kermit the frog trying to pry his balls out of a vice. By the way, if your lyrics don't fit a particular vocal melody, you don't just get to fill out the rest of the phrasing with random "ohhhh"s and "aahhhh"s!

two lumps, please
you're the bee's knees
but so am I
ummm.... ohhh-aaah-ohhhh ohhhh aahhhh...

Kids, once you get past the surface image, not only is there more intelligence in an AC/DC album, there's more sensitivity too. The Smiths' wit and sensitivity isn't real, it's a fashion statement, and like all fashion it's BS.

So there were some other people in the band presumably. Yeah, Johnny Marr churned out some pretty chiming jingle jangle with his guitar. SO WHAT? It's all vapid windowdressing. There's more to life than sniffing flowers and going to antique stores; sometimes I need more than "prettiness." The Beatles pretty much wrote the outline to every single Smiths track with the song "I'm Only Sleeping." Not only that, they wrote OTHER songs too! With OTHER moods! If Johnny Marr is a great guitarist, then Kenny G is a great saxophonist. In a sense I appreciate this band for being the antithesis to everything I look for in music. Every time I'm frustrated with an album or wished I liked it more, I can think "well, at least it's not The Smiths," and my appreciation for it skyrockets. God bless The Smiths for making ABBA sound punk.
