i was looking for a reunion and i didn't find a reunion, and heaven knows i'm miserable now

albo: i was looking for a reunion and i didn't find a reunion, and heaven knows i'm miserable now

Albo, I was only joking when I said by rights you should be bludgeoned in your bed.

FT comments to TFA: This is what Morrisseys management have to say about this (from true-to-youe.net): "It is understood that Warner Music in London are releasing a Smiths Greatest Hits album in the final quarter of 2008. This release is without Morrissey's approval or involvement."

Damn it. I was listening to Radiohead live at Earl's Court at work today and enjoying it, but these two posts have me reaching for my Rank and Strangeways discs.

Oh KitWilliam it was really nothing...

And these kids today, they don't know music. Nothing sadder than talking to some poor emogothy who hasn't heard of the Smiths. Seriously - W.T. Fark?

I didn't realize that you wrote poetry.
I didn't realize you wrote such bloody awful poetry.

im a sickening wreck, i got the 21th century breathing down my neck

Just a rush and a push and the disc that they released is mine.



/If this reunion ever happened it would constitute the only time I would ever travel over seas to see a concert.

So, submitter, when you say this reunion is going to happen now, when exactly do you mean?

filth: I didn't realize that you wrote poetry.

I've been spending warm summer days indoors, writing frightening verse to a bucktoothed girl in Luxembourg.

A reunion...

For once in my life let me get what I want

That's nothing; you should hear me play piano.

I saw them on the Meat Is Murder tour, ever so slightly hung over from a psychedelic experience, and witnessed my first guitar bashing... Marr did not approve of the sound at the end.

So I would like to see them again, but also already have them compartmentalized away as the perfect band at the perfect time.

Maybe it would be as good as the Pixies reunion though? That was the best reunion show I've seen...

Oh, song quote?

Two lumps please, you're the bee's knees but so am I...

When I heard there were no plans for a reunion, I cried. Then I went home and I wanted to die.

CastorTroy: So, submitter, when you say this reunion is going to happen now, when exactly do you mean?

How soon is now?

Kitwilly: How soon is now?

If you have five seconds to spare, I'll tell you the story...

Hopefully, a double-decker bus or 10-ton truck is nearby.

But will it have an extra track and a tacky badge?

Gay, depressed and vegetarian is no way to go through life, son.

Looking at the tracklist, how can most of those songs be considered "rare"? It looks like a rehash of Louder Than Bombs. Ooooohhhh, throw in some live tracks and a demo or two + a new cover, that'll get the fans to buy it!

Today I am remembering the time when they pulled me back and held me down and looked me in the eyes and said "You just haven't earned it yet, baby, you just haven't earned it, my son".

/The Smiths: Band of the 80's
//U2? Buwahahahahaha
///Never reform, don't do it

I'd love a Smiths reunion, hopefully in a burning plane plunging towards the earth.

Hmmm, I don't remember that one, could you hum it, with gladioli hanging from the back of your two sizes too large 501s and a torn asunder paisley shirt topped with NHS glasses and a hearing aid...

No? Thought not.

I've been dealing with Smiths haters since '83, sickening bores all of you.

"Morrissey rides the cock horse..."

AdamKadmon: "Morrissey rides the cock horse..."

/obscure

Somewhat, seeing as the Warlock Pincher's song was '...rides a cock horse'

But the fuss in the NME at the time was just lovely, thanks for reminding me.

Hey who the hell sold Everyday is like Sunday to the NFL network? I know its Moz not the Smiths but there is some lame cover band playing it.

OH YEAH! Someone linked to that song on YouTube! It's actually pretty good!


/reminds me of the story the guy from The Dead Milkman told on 120 minutes about a beer swilling, brawl having, womanizer he met in some bar who dropped his wallet (punch line: it was Morrissey)

well, I wonder...

Wrap this CD in the News of the World
And dump it on a doorstep girl

Glenechocreek: And dump it on a doorstep girl

Wasn't it "dump it on a doorstep, [and] go"?

/If I'm wrong, I'll scratch your name on my arm

Henry Holland: It looks like a rehash of Louder Than Bombs.

Which was itself a rehash of Hatful of Hollow.

testaclese: And these kids today, they don't know music. Nothing sadder than talking to some poor emogothy who hasn't heard of the Smiths

Indeed. Even worse are the ones sporting Smiths t-shirts, pins, or other commercial regalia who can't name a song. Truly sad ... though in all fairness, at 15 I used to sport a PiL badge in my punkrock uniform, without ever having heard them (or knowing that Johnny R. was the founder, for that matter). I thought that PiL was a pro birth-control pill statement.

/silly '86 punk
//where's my chevette?

there won't be a "true" reunion because it'll never include the original drummer, who successfully sued Morrissey/Marr for royalties... and did't the bass player end up a junkie? I know... all we really want is Morrissey/Marr playing Smiths songs...

lyric....lyric....

I would love to go.... back to the old band.... but I never will... I never will.... I never wiiiiillllll....

Re-issue ! Re-package ! Re-package !
Re-evaluate the songs
Double-pack with a photograph
Extra Track (and a tacky badge)

Bring on a reunion - those two can do no wrong.
