Sinister: Attention Darren Savage: "The Smiths" and the like

[Mark Niciu]

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.

Later,
Mark
