"Hello. We are The Smiths. We are not 'Smiths'. We are THE Smiths."THE Smiths ...?

Thank f*** Street is a decent human being and hasn't jumped on the bandwagon.
They're deeply unpleasant.
Well, maybe, but that's fair enough, isn't it?or maybe Street trying to keep a foot in the door, wants to get his band Bradford to open for Morrissey again.
"Hello. We are The Smiths. We are not 'Smiths'. We are THE Smiths."
It brought a tear to my eye.I could watch that video all day. Pre-fame, pre-record deal, pre-everything and all the 'ingredients' are there, he's already cast Steven aside, he's already the full package. I wish he had kept these lines: "You led me through blinding fire / And wrestled with surf and sand / I'm saved, I'm saved, you took my hand." That bashful glance at Johnny at 7.58 is beautiful.
Dorian Cox (of Long Blondes fame)
I'm a big Long Blondes fan. Someone To Drive You Home is an album I still put on regularly. Dorian was obviously very inspired by both M&M.Lovely. Their song, "Once and Never Again" sounds like four or five Smiths songs smashed into one. Guitar from Charming Man, parts of the drums from Sheila Take a Bow, snippets of Still Ill - love it.

Sheffield...?4 Non Blonds? Eminem? Wha? This is certainly a strange and unexpected reference...Where am I?
