Choon of the Day

[sufi]

Parsley Sage Rosemary and Thyme

the French version is lovely too

but neither are quite as good as the one on BBC last night with the King Singers backing

play them together with 5 secs delay for the full nananana

 

[Leo]

masterful.

 

[Corpsey]

Forgot how hooky this tune is. I guess that's where Pev fit with the "purple" stuff by Joker, Guido, etc. Great producer/DJ/person. Miss these days. 😭

 

[Corpsey]

Very affectionate towards this album cos it reminds me of being a pretentious 18 year old wearing a long overcoat and making a minor religion out of drinking pints of cider in my local market town pubs.

 

[luka]

you've led a lot of different lives Jack

 

[Corpsey]

I had an identity crisis between the age of 16 and 20 which people taunt me with to this day.

 

[luka]

I wish we'd known you then so we could join in the taunting

 

[Corpsey]

I went through 3 main stages: "wigga"/pseudo-tim-westwood, punk/pseudo-sid-vicious, indie-kid/pseudo-romantic

 

[luka]

First stage was Your best self. Should have stuck with it.

First stage was Your best self. Should have stuck with it.

Karl Karni denim jacket
Ecko football shirt
Baggy jeans
Timbaland boots

Not kidding

 

[Corpsey]

Punk stage:

Second-hand leather jacket with rotten banana in the pocket (my contribution)
Skin-tight black jeans with studded belt
Skate shoes (possibly vans?)
Plain t shirt with lyrics to NOFX song scrawled over it
Gelled up spiky hair

 

[luka]

Can we have photos ? Might tell us a lot about social conditions in England over the last 20 years a rich sociological resource

 

[Corpsey]

Not coincidentally my sex life went from burgeoning to DOA roughly at the same time as i traded in my baggy jeans.

 

[luka]

Rotten banana in the pocket is not a look calculated to lure the ladies.

 

[yyaldrin]

what was the rotten banana meant to symbolize?

 

[Corpsey]

It was an accident but I didn't wash it off cos washing hideous leather jackets wasn't punk and went against everything I stood for, for five months.

I was very excited when this album came out, it was right at the peak of my Smiths fandom which was in retrospect mercifully short lived

 

[Leo]

still amazes me that one of his big fan bases for the past decade or so has been Mexican goths in Southern California.

 

[Corpsey]

Despite his BNP tendencies I still think The Smiths are one of the best bands.

I was going to try to style it out like Luka there and say "one of the only acceptable bands" but my nerve failed me. How Morriseyesque.
