Darren, I wholeheartedly disagree regarding your claim that the self-titled album by the Smiths is shite. You may believe that one who contends otherwise doesn't know their arse from their elbow, but I would love to hear your reasons for such an asseveration. I believe that it is their best album from top to bottom, albeit there are undoubtedly better singles on "Hateful of Hollow," "The Queen is Dead," and "Strangeways..." How can you contend that songs like "Reel Around the Fountain" (which Belle and Sebastian covered, I hear), "You've Got Everything Now," "Miserable Lie," "This Charming Man," "Still Ill," "Hand in Glove," "What Difference Does it Make?" and "Suffer Little Children" are pants? And several of these songs are repeated without alterations on "Hateful of Hollow," so what gives? More importantly, I live in New York and would love to know what bars in the big apple play Belle and Sebastian. Are their albums (and if so, which ones) in juke boxes or are D.J.s responsible for the tracks? Most of the bars around me (Westchester County) only play shite like Sugar Ray, 311, and other club hits to the reception of an audience ostensibly eager for such crap sounds. Belle and Sebastian would be lovely to hear as I romp across the city bar scene.
