Cheers for the tip, will check them out.

Bert – early gig bruises – ah, the memories! I’m a bit Danny Glover now, I stay a safe distance back!

I was tossed about like a nude book of course as I was only 14, but the bruises were worth it.

The man IS a genius, but how much would you pay for just ONE Smiths reunion song?
Johnny Marr has done some ok stuff since, as has chairman Mos, but it’s nothing like the visceral thrill of The Mighty Smiths live. And they WERE a fucking awesome live proposition.
Glad you liked it, though.
Watching “Juno” just now, and realising what a spot-on pastiche Disaster Movie was.
For some real musical thrills, try Desoto Rust (www.DeSotoRust.com) for a new -band- that -everyone-has-never-heard-thing. Trust me, it kicks the shit out of the “Juno” soundtrack which has all those Belle End and Sebastian wanks on.

Having been there too, I concur with the honourable ELM. I may not be a massive fan of his later works, he is a definite force on stage. In fact, if I was one of those simperingly useless x factor judges, I would definitely say that he owned it. But I’m not, so I’ll just say he was fucking good.

Though I like Johnny more!
