06 Smiths covers are tricky. I don't care for most of them. I don't know if it's because I idolize/worship/am dependent upon this band. But, there are exceptions. And I'll admit it, they're always with female vocals. I suppose this has something to do with having such a different tone than Morrissey that I can ~*~accept~*~ it as a different interpretation. Anyway, as you may have guessed, this post is about such a track. One of the first things that attracted me to Kitten was Chloe Chaidez being a Smiths [...]
I'd been hearing about it for years, the return of '80s sounds to popular music, but due to my relative disconnect from new music, it took a while to hear it for myself. But, well, it's definitely there (Which I'm sure you already know). And you know what? I don't mind in the slightest. Essentially the vibe I get is that a bunch of people took the good sounds/tones/effects from the mainstream '80s and left behind all the cheesiness while applying them to interesting, late '80s early '90s alternative rock songwriting, with a dash of thoroughly [...]
We Can't Enjoy Ourselves don't produce the typical New York jangle pop – their brand is saucy & reckless, like a combination of The Smiths and Pavement (whose song 'We Dance' perhaps their name references). Their bio states: " There once was a band in New York called We Can't Enjoy Ourselves . They were young, energetic, and happy; one day they abandoned their matronly motown shuffle for the sake of a younger genre; they loved, but they were not loved. Their lives ended in disaster. " The 7-song EP One [...]
Mike Viola and the Section Quartet-"How Soon is Now"
Speaking of last goodbyes, yesterday I said one to someone I really care about. Now today (Friday, the 3rd) is looking a lot like a Smiths day. (Bye bye, Soundgarden -- for now.) Morrissey always did know exactly how to express all of my feelings of personal and romantic angst. He gets it like that. Today's partial must-listen-to Smiths playlist: "I Know It's Over" "And you even spoke to me, and said, 'If you're so funny, then why are you on your own tonight? And if you're so clever, then why [...]

09 What Difference Does It Make
Singer-songwriter Pickering Picks does an acoustic cover of The Smiths' classic 'Please Please Please Let Me Get What I Want.'
Quando os boatos começaram, os fãs já cruzavam os dedos e pediam: "Please Let Me Get What I Want This Time". E, dessa vez, a confirmação veio. Morrissey , um dos maiores ícones da música britânica, chega ao Brasil em março de 2012 e fará quatro shows no país, parte de sua turnê sul-americana (que também inclui nossos hermanos da Argentina, Chile, Colômbia e Peru). O antigo frontman dos Smiths e dono de uma brilhante carreira solo fará dois shows na cidade de São Paulo, um no Rio e um em Porto Alegre. Sua última [...]
Here is The Holiday Crowd's brand new music video for their single "Pennies Found." The video, directed by visual artist Matthew Sitler, was filmed entirely on his iPhone. Order their debut "Over the Bluffs" on limited 123 vinyl, cd or digital formats in the US on Shelflife and world-wide on New Romantic .
Meet Smith & Frank. Meet Toby Meadows and Taija Marie Davis and their home-made ambient indie pop, a one of a kind sound flowing through Brisbane's ears at the moment. After a night of rain and wine, with the help of a built-in MacBook microphone, they discovered their sound was something special with ' Sorry For Being Brief '. The better part of instruments are found in household items and oddities lying around, giving their sound a raw and powerful feel. The following weeks saw plenty of writing and studio time then the release of their debut single [...]
O Popload cantou a bola, mas, para os mais céticos, a informação é do zine True To You , fansite que tem contato direto com Morrissey . O Brasil fará parte da turnê sul-americana do cantor e, segundo o TTY , serão quatro apresentações no país. A tour, que começa no dia 24 de fevereiro, no Chile , já tem data marcada no Peru (29) e, ao que tudo indica, passa também pela Colômbia e Argentina no começo de março. Informações sobre os locais dos shows no Brasil devem sair [...]

Ourselves, along with Hit City U.S.A., couldn't be more excited for our show this Saturday at The Satellite featuring some of our favorite bands, PAPA , Cillie Barnes, and Lesands. Like any girl that's worth "rounding the bases for", it's always better to get to know them before you reach home plate. Of course these bands are all amazing, but falling in love is all about the details. So take some time and get to know each of these acts on a more intimate level. Here are 5 things you NEED to know about 3 bands you [...]
2012 puede ser el año de The Cranberries , y también lo sería de The Smiths si estos decidieran reunirse. Polémicas aparte, y esteis a favor de esta reunión o no, podemos seguir disfrutando de ellos gracias a grupos como el primero, ya que estos chicos de Irlanda han decidido homenajearlos. "There Is A Light That Never Goes Out" es un clásico, y Dolores y os suyos lo saben, por ello ayer quisieron homenajear a The Smiths tocando una versión acústica mientras [...]
