Panic On The Streets Of Indieville

Because I have a very "the boy with the thorn in his side" state and because I wrote the thingy below almost a year ago ( 4th of May 2006, on my Y360)... and because I'm a lazy ass... and recycling is good... especially when so wonderfully written blogs are involved....Be at ease... this is just an intro for what's to come... a project of mine that's finally completed... you'll see soon what I have up the sleeves of my purple h&m hoodie... :D



The Smiths are part of the great post-punk wave from England...Desi mai putin abrazivi ca restu' gastii(Cure, Bauhaus, Joy Division, Jesus&Mary Chain, Siouxsie & The Banshhes, Echo&the Bunnymen), dar la fel de sumbri(althought sum songs are quite light, instrumenatal vorbind...and sooooooooo sad), Smiths sunt o reactie la bandurile promovate p MTV in anii 80...si la imaginea promovata...imagine a unei lumi decadente, materiale, bazate pe surface....si nu pe what's on the inside..Formed in 1982, the band became the embodiment of the audience's feelings. Morrissey, solistul cu nas mare si fara prietena(dap, a ales abstinenta), a devenit poetul multor adolescenti cu a slightly diferent view of life than their fellows...si chiar daca formatia a existat numai 5 ani, in 87 destramandu-se, Smiths sunt vesnic citati ca influenta pentru all the new bads, iar versurile lui Moz sunt considerate un etalon pentru lirismul(mama, c am grait-o..) insular...Cel mai bun album Smiths este, fara doar si poate, "The Queen Is Dead"...de la imaginea unei Marii Britanii aflata sub matriarhat( imaginea emasculated a lui Charles este graitoare..."I say, Charles, don't u ever crave to apear on the front of the Daily Mail/Dressed in yr mother's bridal vail?") din melodia care da titlul albumului, la umorul negru de pe "Frankly, Mr, Shankly" si "Vicar In A Tutu", la referintele literare din "Cemetry Gates"("Keats and Yeats are on yr side/But u lose, because Wilde is on mine"), la amestecul din "Bigmouth Strikes Again"("And now I no how Joan of Arc felt/as the flames rose to her roman nose/and her hearing aid started to melt), la superba/suprema declaratie d dragoste din "there is a light that never goes on", la acea intrebare zguduitoare din "I Know It's Over"("if u're so very entertaining why are you on yr own tonight")....Cat despre restul albumelor Smiths, albumul de debut contine great songs, among which "What Difference Does It Make?("oh, the devil makes work 4 idle hands to do") si "Hand In Glove"( a little song considered 2 be one of the most beautiful love songs ever writtem...), ca sa nu uitam "This Charming Man"...Pe compilatia"Hatfull Of Hallow", micutul fan abstinent Smiths este rasplatit cu a myriad of great sonds... 19 la number, mai precis... printre care se afla si monumentalul "How soon is now?"(orgasm instantaneu...)... Iar albumul "Strangeways, Here We Come"(strangeways was a victorian jail) captiveaza prin miciile depresii cauzate de "Last night i dreamt that somebody loved me", "girlfriend in a coma' si "i started something that i couldn't finish"....Cariera lui Morrissey dupa destramarea trupei nu a decurs tocmai grozav...Dar totusi, ultimile doua albume, "You are the quarry"(cu magnificile "i have forgiven Jesus", "first of the gang to die" and "america is not the world") din 2004 si "ringleadre of the tormentors"(2006) confirma importanta lui Moz ptr lumea muzicala....Hey, doar e stiut ca nimic nu poate echivala megalomania, profunzimea si idiosincraziile lui Moz (to quote someone)...
