From Jens Wurche:

There is a Smiths reference in this week's issue of "Der Spiegel", one of Germany's biggest weekly political magazines. In an article on the new album of Swedish pop group The Cardigans, author Christoph Dallach states that drummer Lagerberg, keyboard player Johansson and singer Persson had initially formed the band "to play music in the vein of British melancholiacs like The Smiths and Nick Drake."

This is not the first mention of The Smiths in this magazine's music section this year. A few months ago, there was a little paragraph about The Smiths in a piece on Radiohead whose guitarist had praised them as his most favourite band ever.


Comments / Notes



Death to The Cardigans! They'd be o.k. but, their interviews! Goodness! I think they hate the entire human race.
