KILL ALL MONSTERS
in this essay & video, we discuss #DragonQuest Monsters (GBC) and tie it into #AnimalRights; covering not only the game itself but the ethics of #FactoryFarming and eating meat (death ethics).
i also learned how to chapterize YouTube videos, so there are chapters now for people who just want to hear about the game or the animal rights stuff, etc.

The Smiths - This Charming Man
WIKI
"This Charming Man" is a song by the English rock band the Smiths, written by guitarist Johnny Marr and singer Morrissey. Released as the group's second single in October 1983.
Feeling detached from the early 1980s mainstream gay culture, Morrissey wrote "This Charming Man" to evoke an older, more coded and self-aware underground scene.

If you’ve been put off it by the awful title & association with #TheSmiths / #Morrisey then I was too but, shoehorning the odd culture reference aside, it’s an interesting, fun book which never quite goes where you’d expect and - obviously - leaves an impression; one of my faves of how I think

Surprise gig of the year was Johnny Marr in #Helsinki last week. I was a big Smiths fan back in the day, but lost touch with Marr when they split. Marr gelled with the audience and band in equal measures and seemed genuinely happy to be on stage. He has some catchy songs and let rip with some Smith’s numbers, just when you weren’t expecting it. How could you not dance? #LiveMusic #Gig #Helsinki #JohnnyMarr #TheSmiths #Huvila

last music spam, maybe; this is my favorite #TheSmiths live performance, at least that has been preserved in video format.
not only is this the best Smiths guitar melody Marr ever conceived (IMO) there are extra bits added to it during this performance and the stratocaster ringing is haunting in a way that fits the song perfectly.
this is the type of song where #Morrissey needs to #ShutUp and stop singing, because he doesn't actually add anything of value here.
#NowPlaying: #Electronic
2020 European reissue.
This was my favourite album for a while back in late 2021/early 2022 and for a good reason: it's a brilliant crossover event between #NewOrder, #TheSmiths, and #PetShopBoys. With so much musical experience, the jangly guitar sound of Marr and the danceable synths of Sumner it's no wonder that they wrote one of the most brilliant #90s albums. I was looking for it on #vinyl for a long time and finally found a copy!
its #shoegaze but also has a hint of #TheSmiths and a hint of #powerpop thrown in for good measure. interesting watching him play this riff live, good zoom in this last .fm session:
#art #history: 'ey oop? for anyone (of a certain age) stateside whom may be reading...this lady, here? she's the original mrs roper - the long-suffering mildred - from 'man about the house' & she's stunning.
some girls are bigger than others & yootha joyce (born #otd in 1927) didn't want to be typecast as the feisty, bawdy mildred with the heart of gold.
her performance in 1964's 'the pumpkin eater' was riveting.

Wasn't expecting the former general secretary of my union to show up on this documentary about the Smiths 1984 tour of Ireland. #TheSmiths
Illuminating doc about the Smiths' 1984 tour of Ireland, not long after Morrissey praised the IRA's effort to kill Thatcher in Brighton. No great drama here, but it is a nice little snapshot of Ireland and the band way back in the long-ago. #TheSmiths #Morrissey #TheTroubles #musichistory https://shows.acast.com/documentary-on-one/episodes/louder-than-bombs-the-smiths-in-ireland-nov-84
"William, It Was Really Nothing" is a song by the English #rock band #theSmiths. It was released as a single in August 1984, featuring the B-sides "#PleasePleasePleaseLetMeGetWhatIWant" and "#HowSoonIsNow", and reached No. 17 in the #UKSinglesChart. The song is featured on the compilation albums #HatfulOfHollow and #LouderThanBombs, as well as other best of and singles collections. In 2004.

if there's one #Morrissey solo song that sounds most like #TheSmiths - it's Sister I'm a Poet
🎧 #Mood | #ElectronicUK was a side project of #NewOrder's #BernardSummer and #TheSmiths' #JohnnyMarr. The self-titled debut LP combined Marr's guitar with the synth sounds of New Order to make something new.
This is the "DNA Groove Mix" of "Get The Message" (1991).
@alternativenation Strike Whilst the Iron Is Hot, a song on the same album, has more of the jangly guitar sound I associate with Johnny Marr.

Okay am I crazy or is the vocal style reminiscent of songs like This Charming Man or Everyday Is Like Sunday?
The title translates to Until When (Come Home Baby).

1985 Dutch pressing.
This one's not mine but I bought it for my brother. Until I hand it over, I might give it a little spin. I never really listened to The Cure, but I know some songs. The first song sounds a lot like #TheSmiths, I know that these bands' fans feud with each other. I like the sound of this record and definitely will look into more of them.
This is a Smiths song…

You know, Rick Astley has done an amazing thing. For me at least he's taken Mozza out of songs by The Smiths so I now hear them entirely with Rick Astley singing them. And it is good. #Music #Glastonbury #RickAstley #TheSmiths

#TheSmiths singer says the members of the #musicindustry and media are being disingenuous
🎧 Soaking in my blues some with #REM and not #TheSmiths, because #MichaelStipe is cool and #Morrissey is a fucking #Tory—or worse!
Haven't you heard?
There's an upside to "All The Way To Reno"—Michael tells me "You're gonna be a star!" over and over, and I'm not above propagandizing myself into a better place.

Blur and Smiths producer Stephen Street champions the CD format – and says bands might need them with the cost and time of pressing vinyl going up
#StreetStephen #Blur #RobDLaing #TheSmiths #MusicRadar #Music #CD #Vinyl
!["You could actually produce CDs in a 12-inch vinyl cover cheaper than the vinyl is at the moment, and people still get all the benefit of the artwork. Perhaps that's where we should be looking at. Shops say they can't stock CDs because it doesn't fit [on] shelves. Well just put the CD in a 12-inch cover and everyone has the artwork, and they've got the CD rather than waiting for months to have your vinyl pressed up because that's the problem at the moment."

Rick Astley singing #TheSmiths at the #Glastonbury 2023 is the most wonderful thing I’ve seen this year.
I think he just should replace that dove butt haired bigot and get on stage with Johnny Marr.
@Mrfunkedude Thanks, this one isn't bad at all, but I'll take the backordered one when it arrives anyway - appreciate it!
Awesome day actually - Got a thing I've been chasing down accomplished. Just some FDA reg-related BS that somehow became my problem instead of the doc's, but it's DONE...
...And (a bit freakin late) discovered recordings of Rick Astley covering #morrissey / #thesmiths - with none of the unpleantness that follows Moz around like a Charlie Brown thundercloud.
it's a shame that The Smiths became problematic because of the lead singer’s descent and disgraceful decline. Watching Rick Astley sing “There Is A Light And It Never Goes Out” brought up a lot of emotion for me and made me realise I had not sung this song for more than twenty years. Wonderful stuff, I would have been in tears https://youtu.be/wQ0rEnp8kmw #thesmiths #glastonbury #rickastley

The Smiths - “Some Girls Are Bigger Than Others” (live at Brixton Academy, 1986)
This is my all-time favorite live Smiths performance. Johnny Marr is playing a gorgeous Mississippi John Hurt-style guitar line but it wouldn’t sound half as cool without Andy Rourke’s meaty bass. R.I.P.

An album that literally changed my life. One of the influences that finally made me go veggie in 1990 then vegan 5 years ago. #TheSmiths

Ah shit. RIP Andy Rourke.
Beyond the obvious thematic connection, I always liked the bass - right out in front - on this one.
The Smiths, "Cemetary Gates" (1986) #TheSmiths #AndyRourke
The Smiths have (deservedly) been written about endlessly but relatively little has been written about how those amazing records owe their propulsion to a funk bassist hiding out in a jangly guitar pop band. Music writers are so focused on characters and biography they ignore the alchemy. The difference between great and blah are the so-called small details. The difference between marinara, salsa and ketchup is seasoning. #RIPAndyRourke #AndyRourke #TheSmiths #Morrrissey

No shade on #AndyRourke’s performance but #JohnnyMarr’s guitar is also stellar. In fact I heard Johnny wrote the bass part. #theSmiths
Whilst driving Snow to appt I discover he likes #theSmiths. Both for lyrics and music!
So I take over the car stereo and blast “Barbarism Begins at Home” for seven minutes in pure #bassGuitar bliss.
Snow nods. “Pretty good.”
